Recipe of the week


I try hard to cook something different for dinner each week. Usually it's something I've made in the past. Here's a fun and different dessert that my family loves:

Kid-friendly Red Hot Salad...'cuz who wants celery and nuts in their jello?


2/3 c. cinnamon red hots**
1.5 c. applesauce
3-oz pkg red jello
1 c. boiling water
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 mayo or plain yogurt (I use yogurt)

Stir red hots, applesauce and jello in the water. Cool. Pour half into 9X13" dish and chill until firm. Mix cream cheese with mayo. Pour over jello mixture. Chill until set.

Yum!
**Sometimes you can find the red-hots in celophane pkgs near check registers for 50 cents each.
