Creative recipes for our week's focus product....Jello

Yes, I can hear you....."are you going to talk about Jello...again". Oh Yes, because I want to offer you some suggestions:

My Mom sent me the following, that has several recipes for the use of Jello. Certainly, you will find many salad recipes, but also recipes for Popsicles, cheese cakes, and other unexpected uses. I even have recipes that call for Jello when I make Jam.

Note that some of these sites speak of 'Jello' gelatin, and 'Jello' pudding. Consider having both. Another reason to consider this food is that it can be a treat. If you needed to live solely on your storage, how welcome would a variety of snacks be to you and your family?

You may also want to consider including Knox-Gelatin, which is non-flavored. Several recipes call for it as well. Remember this one from a few years ago?
