I don’t have a photo from today, so I’ll share this set of photos from one of our cooking experiments last Christmas. Jello recipes have always been a topic of interest when the Colby cousins have gotten together, but no one had ever ventured to actually make any of the more odd-sounding ones. Josh and I decided to make one of the recipes as our contribution to the family Christmas dinner in 2010. The recipe is posted below so you can enjoy it as much as we did!
Molded Ham and Egg Salad
*Note: make sure to chill as long as the recipe directions call for. If not, you may have to photograph the dish with the glass bowl on top holding everything together.
Grandma’s getting ready for the fun!
If only we had recorded comments during the meal…
