If you're like me you spend most of the day trying to think "What's for dinner?". Sometimes I want to try something new or even just remember a good family favorite. I created this blog as a quick and easy way to help jog my memory and to share our family favorites across the web. My sister-in-law Marie and I post some of our most successful recipes with pictures. Bon Appetite!

Gentry Green Jello

This family favorite is one that I remember eating as a child and is a favorite of my children.

1 large box Lime Jell-O
2 cups boiling water
1 can crushed pineapple
1/8 tsp peppermint extract
16 oz Cool Whip
8 oz mini marshmallows

Place can of pineapple in freezer to get really cold (this is optional but it helps to speed up the preparation of this dish). Dissolve Jell-O in water then add cold pineapple stir and place in fridge or freezer until it gets sloppy. Stir in the remaining ingredients spoon into an 11 X 13 pan or serving bowl and refrigerate until set up.

*Optional ingredient to add is crushed up after dinner mints. This was an original ingredient that my grandma would put in and makes the salad very colorful.
