Grandma's Recipes
Autumn Jello Salad
The colors of his salad are red, orange and yellow, so we decided to call it Autumn Jello Salad. I know, I know.... how is jello considered a salad? Well, just go with it and try this one! The flavors are really good together, not too sweet, and unique from other jello salads. It's a recipe of my grandma and we love it!
Grandma's Fruit Cocktail Cake
A cake with fruit cocktail in it? This recipe really intrigued me. There is no oil or butter in this cake, so the juice from the fruit is what brings everything together. It was a delicious, moist cake with a caramelized top from the brown sugar and nuts. The little bits of fruit were studded throughout and tasted especially yummy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Grandma's Cottage Cheese Jello Salad
This is a very nostalgic recipe for me! My grandma would make this for every Thanksgiving that I can remember. It is creamy, light, lemon-limey, fruity, and a not too sweet. A very unique salad that sets so well you can cut it into squares. The color is fun too. Doesn't it just look like the 1950's?
Homemade Sloppy Joes
What family doesn't love a good sloppy joe night? This beef mixture is SO MUCH BETTER than Manwich or any canned version. The sauce has a hint of sweetness and is packed with flavor. We love to toast our buns under the broiler first so they don't get soggy from the sloppy joe meat. My son and husband love a slice of cheese on theirs too. We often have sloppy joes with tater tots to get that Napolean Dynamite vibe.
Apple Cobbler
For the ultimate fall dessert, give this apple cobbler a try! It is my grandma's recipe and is so warm and comforting. The dumplings on top are delicious and work great gluten free. Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it's a dessert you will love to share year after year!
Cream Jello Salad
Ok, this is my new FAVORITE Jello salad! I seriously fell in love with this recipe. It's full of delicious fruit, is the prettiest color, and has marshmallows in it. Topping with coconut puts it over the top! Let's just say, this will be on repeat at my house.
