Reach for the Sky with Your Grandchildren

My family jokes that I am the Jell-O queen because I seem to make so many Jell-O dishes.  In self-defense I say to that, “So?  And your problem is?”

My favorite Jell-O mold is of a brain. It looks so real. But somehow when I made the accompanying recipe, it wasn’t too tasty. Can’t imagine why.

I do not view Jell-O as being anything important to a person’s nutritional intake.  Except for the sugar. You definitely get several days worth of sugar intake when you make a recipe using Jell-O.  (Our family particularly likes Cookie Salad.  How can something containing cookies be considered a salad, you ask?  I don’t know.  I didn’t name the recipe.  I just make it.  Lots.)

I DO view Jell-O as a whimsical play-thing for who can be serious when making something out of Jell-O?  Especially Sky Jell-O.

I discovered Sky Jell-O on the Huber Hof Academy blog.  Here is a link to the directions on how to make it.  (Warning:  if you view this site in Firefox on a Mac, the pictures won’t show.)  I haven’t made it (yet) but it sure looks easy to do.  And fun!

So, before the turquoise blue skies of summer turn into the gray days of winter, invite your grandchildren over to make and enjoy Sky Jell-O.  Yum!
