Happy New Year! We are going to start the new year off bright! I’m back from my holiday hiatus and thank you for your patience and well wishes while I took some time to be with my family during the holidays. After the loss of my Mother in November, it was a quiet Christmas. As she would have wanted it, we did giggle and share her traditions that she passed down to us. In looking at the photos later – I saw the sadness in everyone’s eyes as we made it through the holidays.
Today I’m sharing with you one of our traditions that graces the holiday table each year.
It’s colorful, it’s fun and it takes like gumdrops!
Easy to make but you’ll need to do it when you’re home with a few hours on your hands to let each layer set.
The white layer is gelatin, milk, sugar and sour cream, adding a creamy texture to the dish. If you’re watching calories in the new year, you can easily make it with sugar free jello and have no guilt!
Good to see your post again! And yes, the holidays (fresh) without a loved one can be challenging… No one wants to sit in that person’s place at the table… the offering of grace has a shift… The eyes truly share the loss of the loved one…
I’m thankful for the traditions and community and comraderie as the new chapter unfolds for the next generations.
And thank you for posting the layered jello recipe! Nothing says family like shared foods.
Blessings to you as 2014 unfolds!
