Routine Again

It is good to be back to routine again.

Waking on a schedule.

Tending to my home.

Having all the "tools of my trade" around me.

We decided to get right back into things and hosted a get-together on Sunday.

The school that many of our students attend does not serve a Sunday afternoon meal,

so we invited them over for the afternoon.

We typically have 4 students.

We had 3 more visiting.

And I had forgotten a family of 6 who are students at another school.

So we ended up with 1 baby, 3 children, and 11 adults.

I was using my faithful meal.

Italian Pork in the crockpot

Mashed potatoes

Carrots

Green Beans

Rolls

and

Raspberry Jello Salad

I learned the jello recipe at a church in NY.

It is easy - and a step above plain jello.

Raspberry Jello Salad

2 - 3 oz pkg jello (I like to use 1 raspberry and 1 cranberry)

1 1/2 c boiling water

1 c applesauce

1 pkg frozen raspberries

Dissolve jello in boiling water.

Add applesauce and frozen raspberries.

Stir

Cool/Pour into mold or bowl.

For 3 pkg of jello - add addition 1 c boiling water and 1 c apple sauce.
