My 4 year old daughter was laughing at your chickens. She said, "Who are they?" I said, "Mabel and Maude." She said, "Where are they?" I said, "They live with my friend Sage." She said, "Oh ok, we'll go see them tomorrow, goodnight." Lol💕🐓🐓
I saw those jello salads in my mother's cookbooks but she never made them, fortunately. But I wonder if they are meant for the leftover meat drippings/broth that turn into jelly when they are chilled? Instead of using the instant granules?
Yay!!!! More vintage 1950s recipes!! They're my favorite! I would love to also see stuff from the 1940s and 1960s those are three of my absolute favorite decades! I love your videos so much I always look forward to them! They're a breath of fresh air ❤❤
These jello salads are quite something! I grew up eating different types made by my mother, aunts, grandmothers. With Thanksgiving dinner my aunts always made a lime green one with carrots, pineapple, and walnuts. My mother-in-law loved her jello salads more than anyone. Her specialties were a green, red and white ribbon one for Christmas, a rainbow-layered one. I've also had many raspberry, creamcheese pretzel ones, and red strawberry ones with fruit compote inside. 🤣 Personally I do not make them.
I'm from the UK and I've heard of these but they haven't been apart of my life or from my grandmother stories. I loved reading you story and it sounds like you had loverly memories of your family and this dish ❤🥰
@@MarieClaire7 they aren't my favorite, I don't love the texture of jello (it is really sweet too). I am in my 30s and my parents' generation grew up with them and continued making them. Jello salads feed a lot of people cheaply and were seen as an economical way to feed a large group or large family. I guess I feed my kids fruit smoothies and chopped fresh fruit and veggies instead 🤷♀️ I do have fond memories of the jello because of who made them and the occasions where it was served.
My Great grandma was born in 1908, she was a 1950s housewife. She would always make these. As a child I thought it was delicious. If I can find her recipe I will be happy to send it to you. Yours looked really tasty.
I have a question for you, how sweet do you remember a good Jell-o salad being? When I read those vintage salad recipes, I wonder whether the "lime Jell-o" they called for was less sweet than the modern lime Jell-o you'd find in grocery stores. In this video, she used unflavored gelatin with lime juice, which would indeed be less sweet, and mentioned that she had the same theory about the sweetness of the gelatin being different. What do you think..? Cheers!
My mom was sick last year and her little old lady friend kept bringing different jello salads every week. It was very entertaining and it was funny to see everyone’s face as we tried them.
I remember my family serving Jello side dishes "back in the day", but when I went through my Mom's recipe box the only savory one found was for tomato aspic. If she didn't have plain Jello, then lemon would work, since the recipe called for lemon juice. She always had trouble "de-molding" back then, and that was a pretty often occurrence, so don't feel so bad about your "plating" challenge. A Norwegian friend still likes gelled dishes, and they were common where he grew up. Really enjoyed your video!
My Dad makes tomato aspic every year for thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. It’s not soooo bad, but salad cream/mayo on the side is necessary. I usually add a small slice to my plate. To help get it out of the mould, he holds it about 1/2 up the mould in a sink of warm water.
@@poisedladydiaries wow! Does he remember eating any of these savory jello salads? I definitely think clear gelatin is best used to glaze a fresh fruit tart
@@annaswanson5903 gelatin is used for many dessert dishes in various ways, the French make an amazing dinner mold with gelatin, cut it into squares and serve it with other dishes.
My mom had so many different jello recipes. My favorite my mom called ambrosia ,it was amazing. Lime jello,pineapple, cream cheese, marshmallows ,pecans. Yum. I'm not the biggest fan of the savory ones, but I've had some. Hi to the chickens, aw. Chickens are so smart. Thank you so much for the video sweetie 💞🐓🐓💞they're meant to be a side ,the savory ones
I do a version of ambrosia by mixing set fruit gelatin with Greek plain yogurt and fruit. Delicious, easy to transport for a snack on the go, very nutritious!
You need a nice cottage cheese,mayo and, dill blended dressing to serve with molded salad on a bed of shredded lettuce. Really makes it nice You might enjoy a v-8 (using plain Knox gelatin) based molded salad as well. Cucumber and hard boiled egg garnish.
This reminds me so much of a gelatin savory salad my mom used to make (in the 70's!). It had chicken, mayo, celery, onion in it. She would put it in a tupperware jello mold/ring that made it come out like a sculpted crown -- it always came out perfectly, thanks to that tupperware. Another of her go-to jello sides was lime jello with shaved carrots in it.
When you blew on it - I laughed out loud haha! You are such a brave woman. This does not sound appetizing to me at all but I'm glad you enjoyed it for the most part. Also the chicken montage made me smile so much! I love Mabel and Maude
Thank u for trying this. I honestly have avoided these types of recipes but now think I'll give it a try. I also have 4 hens- lucy, opal, myrtle, and winifred.
One thing that might make it easier to make is to make the jello separately. While the jello is heating up - put the other ingredients in a separate bowl. When all of the ingredients are in the 2nd bowl - put them into the pan with the jello. More flavor from the gelatin and flavorings.
I love that you find joy in the 1950s I remember salad jelly, I was born in 1953 and my mom just used a lime or orange jelly block and me and my sisters loved it with cold chicken and strawberry blancmange for dessert Happy Days
Using unflavored gelatin, may a drop of green food color. I've only done this ince for a swedish smorgasbord. They have a lot of them. Mine was with lemon jello and lots of sliced veggies, cucumber, radishes, celery, olives, may be even hard boiled egg. It was beautiful. It was served with a bowl of mayonnaise in center. So more like salad. Great job!
In the American South, this dish is call aspic. My mom made tomato aspic with olives frequently. These gelatins salads are served sliced as a side dish.
I live in the USA and I'm 72 , so I've eaten A LOT of jello salads. They usually on the sweet side - cranberry sauce in strawberry jello, with an apple cut up into small bits , celery,chopped pecans and pineapple , also cut up small. It was very very good. Another was lemon jello with fruit all cut up in it - sort of a fruit salad in jello.It was both pretty and delicious.At our house they were made in various molds my Mom owned and placed on a bed of lettuce on the plate, a sauce made with mayo was served with it , or if it was being served as dessert , whipped cream was served with it. My mother also occasionally made a lemon jello with salad vegetables served in it - sliced radishes, peppers, cucumbers,grated carrots celery ( they all seemed to have celery.). It seemed they were made in the summer and we'd have cold meat with them like chicken or ham.
That was fun! I grew up in the jello salad era and some of them were wonderful and others fell under the heading of “ohhh, that was interesting” lol. Well done 😊
I was hoping to see a comment like this. Did people really make this kind of stuff? Was it a novelty like today or was it taken seriously? How was it eaten? It would be great to hear from someone that was there.
@@vintagelife5195 Oh yes. It was taken very seriously. I have my mothers copy of the Joys of Jello cookbook. Very common to have a jello salad served with supper and each family seemed to have a few favorites that came out at family gatherings. I have made one called Ribbon Salad every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas since I took over the job from my mom - and I’m 59. Another wonderful recipe from that cookbook is called Bavarian and is a delicious mixture of red jello and whipping cream. Some of the savories are a bit too much and I’ve never liked the orange jello mixed with pineapple tidbits and grated carrot 😛. My aunties and grandmothers were proud of the jello molds they collected as well, and it was a lovely skill to be able to successfully unmold a jello creation. They would share tips on the best warm water dip techniques to loosen, but not melt, the jello.
@@vintagelife5195 Jello salads were quite the thing in the 50s and 60s. Every group meal or potluck had at least one offering. My aunt always brought a lime Jello with shredded celery and shredded carrots in it. It was clear Jello, no mayo or anything like that. I loved that one. My sister and I used to make a dessert Jello where you fold whipped cream into raspberry Jello after it was partially set, and then let it set firm. It was also very good. I think when the recipes called for Jello, they meant the Jello brand instant package stuff. I don't think they were too sweet. At least I don't remember that being an issue.
You did a really good job of your presentation. De-molding jelly is never easy and it helps to just sit the base in some hot water for a little bit..like a minute, maybe, not too long as to start melting it. I loved the olive idea. We had wild times with the food at parties back then!
Sage, you probably waited too long before fluffing the Jello and it was already too set. It has to be still liquidish to fluff into mousse (hard to tell when at first).
This is so interesting. Food items such as jello, mayo, lot of canned fruits and meats were popular because of the affordability for most families. So many housewives tried to make them fancy despite the ingredients. My mom grew up in the 50s and she likes a lot of foods like cold salads with Mayo, jello, spam, etc that were common back then. Some of it is weird but different eras and different palates!
You can put hot pans in a fridge, it won’t harm them. I’d place it on a pot holder on the shelf in your fridge. It’s hot glass that could crack if you go from heat to cold. That is a silicone Bundt pan. Traditionally, Bundt pans are metal. Jello salads were often used as a side dish, or for a ladies luncheon with shrimp or chicken, cherry tomatoes, etc. Unfortunately, I think it came out a little mushy because, believe it or not, there was too much liquid (extra water & lime juice; best to use lime jello), plus, you used a mixer when the veggies should have been slowly folded in by hand. But honestly, good for you for even attempting this!! It doesn’t look so bad at all. I remember older relatives making this, but it definitely wasn’t my cup of tea. So happy that you enjoyed it! A+ for effort & execution!
Hello gorgeous! My grandma used to make these all the time. When she made them though she always had an issue with demolding until my great aunt taught her to basically paint a layer of plain jello on the inside like a shell then fill it up. It basically made a jello container for it. She also served them as side dishes, not a main course :D
Awww, Maude and Mabel knows their names when you call them, how cute :) I think they love you I can tell when you call their names I love it ! I make jello dessert all the time but I use cream cheese and I put in apples or mandarin oranges after I mix the jello and cream cheese with my nutribullet. I enjoyed watching todays video, I always do. You are the best Sage, thank you for sharing. :)
This is seriously cool! I found a vintage cake tin set at the op shop that included a jello mold and I had no idea what to do with it... until now! I can't get enough of your clever channel!
Such a fun video, my mom had that cookbook back in the 60's, plus the Betty Crocker one. I grew up eating midwestern jello salads but don't recall a savory one! Mabel & Maude are so funny, the music you had playing in the background made it even funnier!
I've got the recipe book that you used. We used it all the time growing up. Just love watching you in the 50s videos that you do. Thank you for sharing and letting us into your world. 😉🙂🐔🐣🐔
Sage I believe this dish was served at a fancy dinner party. Or at Christmas time. Having been born in the 60s I remember that being on the counter at the holidays. I think I didn't like the taste when I was a child. I like the channel, it brings back alot of memories.
You brought back sweet memories of my Mom making jello salads. One I loved was lime jello, cottage cheese and crushed pineapple. Another was cherry jello, diced apples canned cranberry sauce, crushed pineapple and celery, topped with a little bit of cream cheese. A savory one she made had lime jello, shredded carrots, green bell pepper, celery and sliced stuffed green olives, with a spoonful of mayo on top. I didn't care for that one. I would try your version without the sweetened jello.Thanks for sharing.
Your chickens are precious! So sweet :). I've heard that if you dip the jello mould in warm water before plating it, that it pops out easier. I don't know may be worth a try :)
Girl, I really admire your bravery in trying out a savory gelatin! They’ve always kind of scared me, but this one actually looked pretty yummy. Putting it on a cracker was genius! I wonder if it would also be good spread on some toast or on a sandwich. Wonderful video as always! Your chickens are so adorable!
Both my husband and I saw that bowl come out of the fridge and said "that jello is already set, it won't set again!" But you made the best of it! We lucked out with families that ate a lot of fruit in jello and Ambrosia and we didn't have to do any of those savory things! You are so brave! Everyone's older Aunts or Grandma's had those copper fish molds hanging on the walls for these dishes though!! Really love your chickens & your channel! 👍👍
I remember having a Jello salad with celery and Apple and lime Jello and sometimes cottage or cream cheese and walnuts, it was pretty good my grandma used to make it alot,
The ones with the cream cheese were the best. I think I can remember it with maraschino cherries. I’m think orange or strawberry. I can remember being served jello at school with shredded lettuce, carrots and grapes. Btw Sage. Most of the time we ever had it we had it served as a side dish.
Such a fun video Sage! You did a great job too. Maude and Mabel came running towards you how smart they are. I loved watching. See you next Sunday xoxo
My mother made plain lime Jello with shredded carrots and sliced celery in it. She served it chilled with a dollop of Miracle Whip salad dressing on top. It was a refreshing sweet and sour side dish for our summer lunches. I loved it! Recently, I purchased the ingredients to make it for my own kids, and they looked at me like I was crazy. LOL
My Mom always made a lime jello, shredded cabbage, carrots and mayonaise salad that was a favourite at our place. It was sweet but most people use very sweet dressings on their green salads so what's so weird about that? Mom never unmolded them - she poured the whole mixture into a lovely glass bowl and served it in the bowl. It was a part of all our summer picnics, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve celebrations, served as a vegetable side dish. I really enjoyed the sweet and tangy crunch. Your video brings back great memories, and your chickens are highly entertaining!
The end product looked like really good, like a nice plate of mashed potatoes! It would be fun to see you and your beloved try out your dishes together at the end of the video. I am also glad to see, out of respect for Maude and Mabel, I haven't seen you make any dishes made out of poultry! :-)
OMG - your chickens come when they're called!! That's too adorable! Also, thank you for trying out one of these weird gelatin recipes from the 50s! I've been dying to see how/why these were a thing, lol.
Hello Sage, I adore Maude and Mabel and its obvious they feel the same about you! I still make a jellied salad at Christmas to serve with all my other salads. Mine is more a jellied coleslaw made with lime jelly, finely chopped onion, grated carrot, chopped pineapple and finely sliced cabbage. I also include finely chopped red capsicum but no soup mix, and some salt and pepper. Is so refreshing and very pretty once set because the jelly is transparent. Being vegan I use a vegan gelatine with lime syrup added. So delicious! Warm wishes 🐾🥰
It looks so interesting! Yeah I think the last generation to eat savoury jellies was probably the 70's. I know during the Victorian era they had calf's foot jelly and jugged hare and back in the medieval period the wealthy would present savoury jellies made from different vegetables for their colour, rather than their taste. I have been so inspired by you and your videos, fellow Melbournian and I decided today to buy that cook book and I can't wait to try it!
Thank you for validating the fact that my mother used to put vegetables in lime jello! That went out of style early, but finely grated carrot in orange jello +/-pineapple or raisins - well into the 80s.
The picture of this salad made me think of my great-aunt's mixed fruit and nut Jell-O salad which was also lime based. I commend you for making this and for raising such beautiful chickens... Mable's wanting to follow you in- doors was so sweet! :)
Hello Sweet Sage, Your 🐓 chickens are so adorable just like you. I might try the recipe it does look different never seen anything like this one. Your the BEST Sage🐓🐓👩🍳❤️
My sister-in-law used to make tomato aspic…which is the same as tomato jello (or jelly, as you would say) horrible stuff !! I have made orange/lemon jello with crushed pineapple and grated carrots which is actually pretty good…sort of sweet and savory all at the same time…and it looks nice. I love your video’s and the bonus of seeing your cute chickens just makes my day.
I love your chickens they’re so adorable!!! I wish I could have animals as pets like you do! And how cute they wanna go with you 🤣 and your salad looks delicious 😋
My 4 year old daughter was laughing at your chickens. She said, "Who are they?" I said, "Mabel and Maude." She said, "Where are they?" I said, "They live with my friend Sage." She said, "Oh ok, we'll go see them tomorrow, goodnight." Lol💕🐓🐓
this is so cute!!!❤️

Sooo cuteee 💕
Precious!!❤️
i will not ruin my kids life by making them watch youtube with me
Your chickens coming to you when you called their names is hysterical 🤣 😂
It was so funny and absolutely adorable 🥰
It’s adorable. Animals are so smart. Even chickens❤️😊
They're great aren't they 😂
Omg, Mable and Maude are so adorable. I wish I could have chickens . That salad looks interesting.
except I wonder about all the chicken poop in the yard ruining the grass? not sure about that, chicken poop is highly contaminable, not healthy.
Your whole vibe makes me feel very cozy and safe I appreciate it so much! Never change(:
Me too
Me too !!
Hope, If you want hope and freedom in your life don't vote democrat.
Oh the horrible memories, that salad I was forced to eat in the 70’s. Now that I am 54 never again will I eat it again, but thanks for the memories 😊
Mi mother told me that she hated too. But was a fancy food 🤯

Also, vegan gelatin isn't gelatin. It's usually just thickeners so the whole basis of the recipe falls apart.
I cannot wait to see new cooking videos in the new kitchen. Your Dining Theough the Decades series is so good! Keep up the great work. 💙
This is so interesting. Food items such as jello, mayo, lot of canned fruits and meats were popular because of the affordability for most families. So many housewives tried to make them fancy despite the ingredients. My mom grew up in the 50s and she likes a lot of foods like cold salads with Mayo, jello, spam, etc that were common back then. Some of it is weird but different eras and different palates!
You can put hot pans in a fridge, it won’t harm them. I’d place it on a pot holder on the shelf in your fridge. It’s hot glass that could crack if you go from heat to cold.
That is a silicone Bundt pan. Traditionally, Bundt pans are metal.
Jello salads were often used as a side dish, or for a ladies luncheon with shrimp or chicken, cherry tomatoes, etc.
Unfortunately, I think it came out a little mushy because, believe it or not, there was too much liquid (extra water & lime juice; best to use lime jello), plus, you used a mixer when the veggies should have been slowly folded in by hand. But honestly, good for you for even attempting this!! It doesn’t look so bad at all. I remember older relatives making this, but it definitely wasn’t my cup of tea. So happy that you enjoyed it! A+ for effort & execution!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Sage. I've never tried such a salad (maybe I'll give it a try??), but have seen photos in my mother's cookbooks.
Hello gorgeous! My grandma used to make these all the time. When she made them though she always had an issue with demolding until my great aunt taught her to basically paint a layer of plain jello on the inside like a shell then fill it up. It basically made a jello container for it. She also served them as side dishes, not a main course :D
Yes, they were always a side dish. All the care our mother's took with our food.
I'm a simple person. I see a cooking video from Sage and I click "Like" before the video even starts lol
Awww, Maude and Mabel knows their names when you call them, how cute :) I think they love you I can tell when you call their names I love it ! I make jello dessert all the time but I use cream cheese and I put in apples or mandarin oranges after I mix the jello and cream cheese with my nutribullet. I enjoyed watching todays video, I always do. You are the best Sage, thank you for sharing. :)
gosh i wish i had you for a friend, you are so much fun 💛
This is seriously cool! I found a vintage cake tin set at the op shop that included a jello mold and I had no idea what to do with it... until now! I can't get enough of your clever channel!
Such a fun video, my mom had that cookbook back in the 60's, plus the Betty Crocker one. I grew up eating midwestern jello salads but don't recall a savory one! Mabel & Maude are so funny, the music you had playing in the background made it even funnier!
I've got the recipe book that you used. We used it all the time growing up. Just love watching you in the 50s videos that you do. Thank you for sharing and letting us into your world. 😉🙂🐔🐣🐔
Sage I believe this dish was served at a fancy dinner party. Or at Christmas time. Having been born in the 60s I remember that being on the counter at the holidays. I think I didn't like the taste when I was a child. I like the channel, it brings back alot of memories.
Little pro tip our aunt gave me was to dry the veggies before adding them to the jello, it helps them suspend better.
Love the video. Keep up the great work.
Love this 🥰 Chickens are just freaking adorable. Love how they come to you when you call them. 🥰🤣😍
I remember my grandma's jello cookbooks! I should have kept them for nostalgia
You brought back sweet memories of my Mom making jello salads. One I loved was lime jello, cottage cheese and crushed pineapple. Another was cherry jello, diced apples canned cranberry sauce, crushed pineapple and celery, topped with a little bit of cream cheese. A savory one she made had lime jello, shredded carrots, green bell pepper, celery and sliced stuffed green olives, with a spoonful of mayo on top. I didn't care for that one. I would try your version without the sweetened jello.Thanks for sharing.
I would be so scared to try savory jello, but if it was yours, I would try it because you made it look appetizing! Lots of love from the USA ❤️
Started watching your vlogs today .i adore vintage well done and yes that is a bundt cake tin keep up the good work
Your chickens are precious! So sweet :). I've heard that if you dip the jello mould in warm water before plating it, that it pops out easier. I don't know may be worth a try :)
Oh, I'm excited for this!
(and a bit scared)
Girl, I really admire your bravery in trying out a savory gelatin! They’ve always kind of scared me, but this one actually looked pretty yummy. Putting it on a cracker was genius! I wonder if it would also be good spread on some toast or on a sandwich.
Wonderful video as always! Your chickens are so adorable!
I think that could definitely work :)
Both my husband and I saw that bowl come out of the fridge and said "that jello is already set, it won't set again!" But you made the best of it! We lucked out with families that ate a lot of fruit in jello and Ambrosia and we didn't have to do any of those savory things! You are so brave! Everyone's older Aunts or Grandma's had those copper fish molds hanging on the walls for these dishes though!! Really love your chickens & your channel! 👍👍
I remember having a Jello salad with celery and Apple and lime Jello and sometimes cottage or cream cheese and walnuts, it was pretty good my grandma used to make it alot,
The ones with the cream cheese were the best. I think I can remember it with maraschino cherries. I’m think orange or strawberry. I can remember being served jello at school with shredded lettuce, carrots and grapes. Btw Sage. Most of the time we ever had it we had it served as a side dish.
I never did find a liking for jello salads... you did amazing and your chickens are adorable!
Love it!!✨
Our aunt would always make jello salads for us an drink I loved them♥️🇨🇦
Such a fun video Sage! You did a great job too. Maude and Mabel came running towards you how smart they are. I loved watching. See you next Sunday xoxo
My mother made plain lime Jello with shredded carrots and sliced celery in it. She served it chilled with a dollop of Miracle Whip salad dressing on top. It was a refreshing sweet and sour side dish for our summer lunches. I loved it!
Recently, I purchased the ingredients to make it for my own kids, and they looked at me like I was crazy. LOL
My Mom always made a lime jello, shredded cabbage, carrots and mayonaise salad that was a favourite at our place. It was sweet but most people use very sweet dressings on their green salads so what's so weird about that? Mom never unmolded them - she poured the whole mixture into a lovely glass bowl and served it in the bowl. It was a part of all our summer picnics, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve celebrations, served as a vegetable side dish. I really enjoyed the sweet and tangy crunch. Your video brings back great memories, and your chickens are highly entertaining!
Noticed that your chickens now made your entire garden their own. As chickens do. 🤣 Really sweet. Loved your video.
You are so adorable and brave!! You blowing on it was the best part lol well and the chickens!! Another great video! ❤️
Thanks for the recipe I will definitely try it 😊😊😊😊😁
4:24 your chickens come when you call them by name that’s wonderful. I need to work on this with my cats.
The end product looked like really good, like a nice plate of mashed potatoes! It would be fun to see you and your beloved try out your dishes together at the end of the video. I am also glad to see, out of respect for Maude and Mabel, I haven't seen you make any dishes made out of poultry! :-)
i've always been facinated by these!
one of my favourites my grandma made it all the time as a summer treat
And another thing your chickens are so cute and adorable
OMG - your chickens come when they're called!! That's too adorable! Also, thank you for trying out one of these weird gelatin recipes from the 50s! I've been dying to see how/why these were a thing, lol.
We used to have fruit jello molds. We all had our Tupperware jello mold that made it easy to come out. I have that cookbook.
Hello Sage, I adore Maude and Mabel and its obvious they feel the same about you! I still make a jellied salad at Christmas to serve with all my other salads. Mine is more a jellied coleslaw made with lime jelly, finely chopped onion, grated carrot, chopped pineapple and finely sliced cabbage. I also include finely chopped red capsicum but no soup mix, and some salt and pepper. Is so refreshing and very pretty once set because the jelly is transparent. Being vegan I use a vegan gelatine with lime syrup added. So delicious! Warm wishes 🐾🥰
10 seconds in and I'm obsessed with your sweater!!!
That's so cute how the chickens follow you!
Weirdly enough, I think I would like this 😀
It looks so interesting! Yeah I think the last generation to eat savoury jellies was probably the 70's. I know during the Victorian era they had calf's foot jelly and jugged hare and back in the medieval period the wealthy would present savoury jellies made from different vegetables for their colour, rather than their taste. I have been so inspired by you and your videos, fellow Melbournian and I decided today to buy that cook book and I can't wait to try it!
Thank you for validating the fact that my mother used to put vegetables in lime jello! That went out of style early, but finely grated carrot in orange jello +/-pineapple or raisins - well into the 80s.
I was so right about jello salad! They used to have vegetables, celery, tomato flavours...
As soon as Sage started talking about Jello salad, I thought of readymade salads from a deli. Does anybody else remember readymade Jello salads?
Yes rainbow colored
I'm in love with your videos! You have such a beautiful soul ❤❤
The picture of this salad made me think of my great-aunt's mixed fruit and nut Jell-O salad which was also lime based. I commend you for making this and for raising such beautiful chickens... Mable's wanting to follow you in- doors was so sweet! :)
I love your hen girls! So sweet! Give them all your veggie scraps.
One of our favorites is lime jello with carrots, cabbage , celery and onion. You could do a dollop of mayo if you wanted but good as is
My aunt used to make this blackberry jello, cream cheese mold, with fruit, it was pretty good actually
I commend you for trying! I grew up eating something called “dream salad” which was orange gelatin, whipped cream and fruit.
Those chickens running towards you were adorable!
OMG my ex mother in law use to make stuff like this with olives and tuna etc, takes me back to those days. ugh lol
Hello Sweet Sage, Your 🐓 chickens are so adorable just like you. I might try the recipe it does look different never seen anything like this one. Your the BEST Sage🐓🐓👩🍳❤️
My sister-in-law used to make tomato aspic…which is the same as tomato jello (or jelly, as you would say) horrible stuff !! I have made orange/lemon jello with crushed pineapple and grated carrots which is actually pretty good…sort of sweet and savory all at the same time…and it looks nice. I love your video’s and the bonus of seeing your cute chickens just makes my day.
I love your chickens they’re so adorable!!! I wish I could have animals as pets like you do! And how cute they wanna go with you 🤣 and your salad looks delicious 😋
