It's not just for kids, by Lady Laura

Okay, so last night I was so excited and inspired by all you ladies and this whole blog thing that, though my son is out of town, I did not order the lo mein and crab rangoon perfection I had been dreaming about all day. Instead I made a yummy and healthy and filling dinner for one. I was so proud. However, I knew, knew I was going to want dessert. So… I made jello, even though there is some B&J’s in the freezer. Jello, which I do not really like.

Except maybe I do. I made it with Fresca and mandarin oranges. I served it in a pretty china bowl too. It was kinda good, actually, and I didn’t really feel deprived. Huh. Mind you, I’m not cravin’ me some jello or anything, but it was coolly refreshing and sweet, which is just what I wanted.

I bought some more flavors (sugar-free, no less) today and some fruit to sneak into it too as a way of trying to get in 4 servings a day. Is it possible… could it be… might I become a jello connoisseur?

Just let me know when you’re ready for recipes, blest and Leann. I’ll have you covered ;)

  3. I can’t eat the sugar free stuff- the aspartame gives me a headache. But good for you - I’ve never been able to resist the pull of B&J’s in the freezer!
