Did we really not even touch your green jell-o salad. Because I actually really like that kind. In fact, maybe I'll take it to the next gathering & see if people still snub it.

I just have to laugh here. This is so perfect. Josh and I are hanging out with two other couples Wed night and we are in charge of bringing something that resembles the green, gooey ghost that hides in the library and I've been looking for a green jello salad ever since! Can't wait to try it out! 😀

I have never liked jello. But my kids love and adore it, just plain. No Cool Whip, nothing.

My grandma actually used to make Tunafish Jell-O. That I couldn't ever bring myself to sample!

Well, I'm not Mormon, but I did live in the Midwest for a long time, so I understand the phenomenon. Personally I can't abide stuff floating in Jell-O (I'm very sensitive to texture), but I do have a deep and abiding love for Jell-O on its own. And I must say that the cream cheese intrigues me—I'm a firm believer that cream cheese makes everything wonderful.

Though my fascination with Jell-O may be morbid (hence the most recent broadside in my series), if I'm ever at a party with your salad recipe in attendance, I promise to try it!

I was worried the recipe included carrots. And raisins.

My mom has that recipe.

Not kidding.

Yes jello one of the known mormon dishes. Sounds like a yummy recipe.

Ah, Jello salad. I think it is hilarious that family functions generally have at least four of these. I am not a jello fan, so I generally stay away from all of it, but it is hilarious that it has become such a mormon food dish, isn't it?

Alas, Tony detests Jell-O. I grew up on Jell-O salads too, but my kids I don't think have ever really experienced it. If we are at a party and Tony sees it he makes a big deal of how gross it is, so I think my kids must think it's poison or something. 🙂 Your recipe sounds great and like the one my Grandma used to make as well.

Me and a friend were just talking jello yesterday! And I have my favorite kind as well. Lucky for me, Splenda likes it. Or at least he eats it and tells me he does
