- You're never going to guess who LOVED this recipe... also Jell-O is apparently the binding of the Midwest. #comedy #midwest #jello

These two ladies make video “magic” together!! More cooking shows in the future please!!
What are the amounts of the different ingredients and what are all the ingredients. I feel like I just wasted time watching a silly video. Sorry say anything positive.
@@marycintron9221 If this is a legit comment, you must not realize this is basically a comedy channel. They do a lot of skits and Kim's husband does amazing song parodies. Definitely on part with Weird Al Yankovich
@@marycintron9221 And THAT, dear viewer, is PRECISELY what this is about! Silly stuff!
By the way, this is such a common recipe that all you gotta do is google and blam! 500 recipes will show in your search engine hahaha
They do have a comedic chemistry. They should do more cooking videos, full recipes included.
Agree 💯
The first food I ate when I moved to the south was sausage gravy and biscuits. We stopped at a restaurant on the way to our new home. The waitress offered biscuits and gravy. My Mom said, "Why would you have bread and gravy? The woman said, "Y'all aren't from around here are you? Here hun, just try some." Southern soul food. I'm still in the south and I'm here to stay.
I came from the North and could never get on board with sausage gravy... more for everyone else, I guess.
I grew up in the Midwest and I love biscuits and gravy and yes always sausage gravy!
I'm from the north. Moved to the south when I was young and never looked back. Loving the south, and biscuits & gravy and grits!
Ya ever have the southern chocolate gravy and biscuits. I'm from the South and my husband is from the mts south.
My little boy used to say it ‘biz tits an dray bee’ it was adorable!
I love all of the Holderness Family videos - but I go out of my way to watch the ones with “the neighbor!” “Oh, Keimmmm!”
I agree! The best ever......it's a special treat🥰🥰🥰🥰
She does that accent so well i always forget if she really talks like that or not!
I've lived in Toledo Ohio, & I've lived down south. I understand Both these women ! 😀😀😀😂😂
The “neighbor” is my favorite person in the world on a bad day. She makes everything better 🤣
Does she have her own channel?
@@JamesMReece I don’t think so - I think she is one of their team in the production end. Super funny though!
Ann Marie taepkey is her name
I can guarantee ya, in north eastern MN walk in to any bar/restaurant and you will find that neighbor lady 😂
@@freddielind5282 sounds fabulous to me!
Bronner's and Oscoda both in one video! My Michigan heart grew three sizes today!
As a misplaced Minnesotan, I cannot tell you how many times I have had this side dish. It makes all meals better. I love this salad.
Gotta have that and some hot dish or it's not Christmas!
Gross
I fully thought these were made up recipes Omg lol
Wow for real
@@genxkay358 My mom grow up in Illinois before moving to Minnesota in the mid 50's. Until she moved to Minnesota she hadn't see these salads. It would appear that the salads are fairly unique to Minnesota and into the Fargo area of North Dakota.
I’ve never seen this salad made where the jello is actually prepared. When we make it you combine the dry jello mix with cottage cheese, pineapple and cool whip. Then just let it set in the fridge and it is so good. My husband’s family introduced it to me. I’m from the south and had never heard of it before.
I don't add water to mine either. I'm in NC and it isn't Christmas without Jello salad.
That's how my family makes it also. With the dry Jello mix. We normally do orange Jello with pineapple and mandarin oranges. We have to make a double batch cause it's a favorite. If you don't like the texture of the cottage cheese, run it through the food processor
@@mzwho9942 Same! We love Orange Fluff at our house!
That is the one I remember as well
@blighted : we always had Strawberry Fluff! My kids loved it!
Your "neighbor" is a gem! (Also, I grew up eating all of the "salads" that she made. And, yes, we called them salads. Haha.)
Penn eating that with such enthusiasm reminds me of Joey eating Rachel's 7 Layer Dip from Friends!
I can totally picture Rachel realizing this jello thing wasn’t supposed to have cottage cheese. Lol.
I always thought this salad was made with mini marshmallows not cottage cheese
@@crystalreynolds279 yes! I've had a marshmallow, orange jello that I think had mandarin oranges and maybe coconut in it too.
The jello/marshmallow thing was another video, be sure to see it, also very funny!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Y’all, the southern equivalent is ambrosia salad. Love that stuff! Includes fruit, sour cream, marshmallows, coconut, pecans, and other canned fruits… 😋 haha!
Just had this with Christmas dinner. It's the best. And it's a side dish...not dessert!
I was thinking the same thing in their last video.
Ambrosia is delicious!
There are many similar "salad" recipes in the Midwest. They each have their own name and multiple ones can be served at one function.
My grandma made it the same, but with Mayo instead of sour cream. 🤢 I changed the recipe to make it greek yogurt. 👍🏻
I'm from New Jersey. My husband is from Nebraska. The "Midwest Neighbor" videos are my new favorite! They remind me of my own personal 'culture shock' when I was first married 😆😆😆-- And as mismatched as we seem...we've been married almost 18 years 😁
Haha! I’m in nj and my husband’s fam is from PA which isn’t even far away but yet the cultural differences are for real 😂 we love it.
I grew up in Iowa, raised kids in Nebraska and live in New Jersey.
I have the old Jell-O cookbook with all these recipes in it and we regularly had this. Sorry, love it!!
@@randalynkiltz4633 That is awesome! Especially the Jell-O because I now live literally in the "Jell-O capital of the world"
Only thing I do different is mix in a medium size container of Cool Whip before it goes into the fridge. This stuff is SO GOOD!
I just made Jello salad yesterday and I always add Cool Whip to the cottage cheese mixture.
Agreed!
From Michigan-My mom always used cherry jello, and also added cool whip and chopped walnuts. We called pink stuff. I still make this for family parties, but leave out the nuts and cottage cheese. It is definitively a side dish!
We called this lime salad in Kentucky - if cream cheese was added instead of cottage cheese then it's Watergate salad - don't know why
The person who invented this was probably stuck in the house with only these four things during a massive snowstorm.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Yes!!! 😂😂😂
try being stuck in in a snow storm southwestern Illinois with only hot dog buns and shredded cheese and Mrs. Dash you can make cheese bread pretty quick minus the hot but have calcium no salt added except for the cheese and the buns but good garlicky cheese bread truth
That actually makes sense. Ever been hungry late at night and you open your pantry, but you haven't gone shopping in a while? That's how you get these kind of recipes.
Truth is that jello dishes were actually a way to show off that you had an electric fridge and not an old fashioned icebox. They got weird and creative because it was status. And probably a little boredom.
OMG!! I had my headphones on and when you did the shoutout to Oscoda.. I screamed a bit and my husband came over to see what was wrong. My husbands family is from Oscoda! Enjoy your cooking shows!!! And loved the Bronner's t-shirt. I should probably head over to Frankenmuth to get an ornament for my 1st grandchild. Have a Merry Christmas Holderness Family and crew.
Hi from Oscoda ☺️
@@sharenone876 Would the grand children's chestimas tree ornament be shaped like a lime jello Marachino cherry Christmas tree? (Sprinkle coconut flakes around ornament to look like snow. Nice touch.)
I hope they make the southern "dump cake" that Kim mentioned in their first espisode
Dump cake is great! I didn't know it was a southern dessert. I learned about it here in Ohio from my grandma. Either way, it is easy and yummy.
Or boiled peanuts.
@@rachelmiller8323 Dump cake is amazing!! ...and SO easy!!! That would be a good one.
Chicken & waffles, shrimp & grits, creamed Spinach, pineapple casserole!!
Yes
Oh hey there! Minnesota gal here. My grandma used to make a salad similar to that except she put cool whip in it and no cherries. Everyone hated it, except for me, so she would make it just for me every Thanksgiving. Oh how I miss my grandma. Thank you for letting me reminisce for a few minutes.
OMG one of my roommates made this when I was in undergrad - lime jello with cottage cheese, pineapple and pecans. To her it was a totally normal family recipe. To me it was...concerning lol
A holiday meal was never complete without the Lime jello salad.
Definitely a midwest thing, it's good!
I would try this! In the 70's my mom would always feed us cottage cheese with canned peaches poured over the top. That was pretty good.
Yep, grew up in the 90's eating peaches with cottage cheese:)
Yes!
This was too funny, cuz my family always makes this jello for family gatherings. And I actually have 3 cousins up in Oscoda, MI…lol. Double love from a Michigander that you’re wearing a Bronner’s shirt!
Love me some Bronner’s at Christmas time. Love Frankenmuth.
An ya gotta get that Chicken Dinner at Zehnders after you visit Bronner’s. Total Christmas classic. Don’t think they have a good jello salad though.
My mom always had the “jello- with- shit- in - it” and nobody ever ate it, but it just had to be there for a holiday!
@@janbouchard6699 yes, Christmas year round. And the ice sculpture festival is always so amazing.
Love Bronner’s!
The neighbor's Rocking that Bronners shirt. 😎 Frankenmuth is our home away from home. I love you ladies in the kitchen ❤... I just can't wait to see them swap roles and see the Michiganders reaction to the food 😅
Thanks for watching! 💕
What would some one from Michigan make? Frog eye salad? Broccoli Salad? Humm I am intrigued because I haven't traveled enough to know what other States don't make that I do.
Yes! This Michigander wants to see that!
@@davidmitchell1304 pasties. I'm from Michigan and Michganders love their pasties. They are especially loved in the upper peninsula. I personally don't care for them lol.
@@theholdernessfamily I love and relate so well with the videos with your neighbor. Being from Detroit and having a Bestie sister in law from California .. we are the same way. I say things that she says make no since like pop not soda and she's freezing when it's 50 degrees and I'm thinking how crazy she is.. 50 degrees we got on t-shirts 🙄😅
My grandmother always made this, so I've carried on the tradition. I only make it at Christmas. Good memories.
That’s a very nice memory. I bet Christmas doesn’t feel like Christmas with out it. Never quit doing that. I’m sure your people will do the same.
My family always did a version of this called fluff. It’s jello or pudding powder, cottage cheese, cool whip, and pineapple or fruit cocktail. You can also make it without the fruit. Definitely a side dish!
Same!
Love all the fluffs, orange, cherry, lime, even lemon!
I couldn't do this personally but kudos to Penn for trying it.
It is actually pretty amazing. I love it. My grandma made it every Christmas. Now I am the one in charge of bringing it because grandma can't stand up long enough for cooking anymore. Too many aches and pains. Poor dear.
At least it wasn't the... orange jello, shredded carrots, cottage cheese and raisins! Blerg!!! G.ma made every single visit! And yeah, had to be polite and choke it down!
@@Penny-ts5ec We had the orange jello, shredded carrots, and MIRACLE WHIP concoction growing up. There may have been shredded celery in there as well. I don't quite remember, I have blocked it out of my mind! 😂 So gross though.
@@pnkgrl99 OH I am SOOOO sorry, how's that therapy going??? Lol memory blocking is a GOOD thing!
G.ma grew elderberry trees... so elderberry pie was the dessert... ummmm I'm pretty sure you are supposed to strain out the pits??? Broken teeth everywhere lol, till we learned to just swallow it whole!
She wasn't a great cook lol
@@Penny-ts5ec 🤣I'm not sure where the grandma's get their recipes? lol. The only people who would eat it were my grandma, my mom, and as a child, me! I didn't want to hurt my grandma's feelings - so I would choke it down. No one else would dare touch it though.
Mom always made this at Christmas. I was craving this last Christmas and had to scour the internet for the receipe. Found it on the Jello website. So good!!! Merry Christmas Holderness family.
Merry Christmas!
Always my favorite jello growing up, but never room on the Thanksgiving and Christmas table to decorate it. Sometimes Mom does use one packet of lime and one of lemon, though.
LOVE Oscoda! Great area for relaxing! You should have made strawberry pretzel jello though!
Yes! Strawberry pretzel salad is so good!
Oh Jeeze, Strawberry pretzel salad is one of my favorites!!
You becha!
Yes!
🤔😶
On the southern recipe ideas, how about something with grits? My mom is from PA, and she told me when she first moved down here to SC, she had accidentally ordered it at a restaurant. What happened is she decided to grab breakfast one morning somewhere but wasn't exactly sure what she wanted. She saw someone eating what she thought was cream of wheat at the other table, so she told the waitress she'll have what the other person is having. The waitress asked what she'd like in it...my mom said milk and sugar. The waitress looked at her like 🤨. lol 😂 It wasn't until my mom tried it and let the waitress know something was off about it that she found out it was grits she was eating...not cream of wheat. 😂
This happened to me! I went to college in the southeast (coming from the Midwest) and got so excited at the cream of wheat on the cafeteria line.
Spoiler alert: it was grits. My friends were horrified.
True story: Non-Southern nervous girl meeting boy's Deep South parents; people got started on recipes. NSNGirl leans politely forward and in a moment of silence asks "So, exactly what part of the pig does the grit comes from?" Hysteria ensues.
Butter (not milk) and sugar isn't an odd choice for grits. Not my taste at all, but my sister has eaten them that way since we were small. She also ate her rice with butter and sugar.
Of course, she also struggles with obesity now, so ...
@@catheriam1945 I heard a guy with a hard New England accent ask a waffle house waitress if he could try 'a grit' before he decided.
Jerry Clower couldn't get those kinda laughs.
Michigan gal here, love your t-shirt and your mention of Oscoda! Love your videos and love the neighbor!
I love your “neighbor”! She needs to star in more videos when she’s not producing them.
So does the neighbor have a name? I love her. She's my favorite person ever.
The southern snack that shocks a lot of people is boiled peanuts 🥜. Our family loves them, but a lot of people that are from other parts of the US have never heard of them or tried them.
Love boiled peanuts! Definitely a southern thing. 💞
I'm a westerner and I've heard of them but have never tried them. I just have a hard time wrapping my head around peanuts and boiling. LOL
I love boiled peanuts!
I love boiled peanuts! Or should I say "bald" peanuts? 😂😎💚
The first time I heard about boiled peanut soup was when I took my son to Jamestown and we stopped in the cafeteria. It was so out of my realm that I got it just to try, might be an acquired taste. 😂
The neighbor videos are my absolute favorites! My mom made this when we were growing up, but added chopped walnuts. It was called "Gentleman's Salad", and my Dad loved it!
Gotta love Bronners! Your cooking show is amazing. Keep them coming! Love, from MI ~Kerri
Bronner’s Road-trip! So in character with the famous Michigan Christmas store I am IMPRESSED.
*Bronner's
She was very excited about that shirt and told me all about the store.
I saw that too!! The periodic trip is essential to any Michigander's Christmas experience :)
Oh my goodness, you just brought back a midwest childhood memory! I'm introducing this to my three kids this year! Thanks neighbors :)
A Bronner's shirt!! Frankenmuth! ❤️ Our family Christmas jello salad was layered. A green jello layer, a white cream cheese and pineapple layer, and a red jello layer.
Frankenmuth is one of my favorite towns. Bronner's rocks!
This has been a “family” recipe handed down from my great grandmother - what we were told (lol) however we add a tablespoon of mayonnaise with the cottage cheese and the pineapple, mix that with the lime jello that is already in the 13x9 and top with mini marshmallows- make it in the summer all the time and we call ours “gook” …..
I'm such a Midwesterner that actually sounds good. Just today I made myself a snack of cottage cheese and canned peaches and my daughter thought it looked disgusting. She just doesn't know the magic.
Californian here, well, New York transplant at this point, but, I grew up eating, canned peaches with cottage cheese, it’s one of my favorites. Next time, try diced pineapple, the real stuff in the juice, not the syrup, with cottage cheese, also delicious.
Agree with y'all !
Florida native, grew up eating cottage cheese and peaches! I don’t think it matters where you’re from, if the parts taste good they’ll probably taste good together!
When I was a kid jello salads were all the rage. All flavors and all combos tho not necessarily all good. Love Kim's deadpan(almost) humor and enthusiasm
Since at least the 1950's!
Southern Food Ideas (yay!): pimento cheese; mac & cheese; shrimp & grits; hot chicken; biscuits & gravy. Loving this skit!!!
Got hungry reading your list! :)
I LOVE the Bronner's shirt!! I have family that lives near Frankenmuth so I always get excited when I see people who have heard of or been to Bronner's.
Hahaha! This brings back wonderful memories of holidays past. I'm from Michigan and my Grandmother would make this side dish (and yes, it's really considered a side dish lol). The only variation is that she added crushed walnuts to hers.
My mom made this and I’ve been making it for 60yrs. I love it.
I remember my grandma in North Carolina making butterscotch haystack birds nests. They were so yummy! Is that a southern dessert?
I grew up in Minnesota and I have had them several times during the holidays.
Love those
Those were in the 1950 Betty Crocker Cookbook my mom got as a wedding present, so I'm sure they have the potential to be nation-wide! We live in Illinois and they turn up every so often.
The first time I had this dish was at my great grandmother’s house when I was 12, I’m 67 now so this recipe definitely has staying power. Thank you for this memorable recipe.
That neighbor is hysterical. I love her. She adds so much to an already great dynamic. What about making a black-eyed pea salad since New Years is coming up. Looking forward to the next episode.
I am the child of southerners, raised in St. Louis. I was only introduced to recipes like these when I married my husband, His great-Aunt Marie had a whole book bull of Jell-o based recipes. Each one stranger than the next. I would go home from holidays and tell my family about these strange creations and they would swear I was lying, or that I had been drinking. Once I married into the family I got copies of the family cookbooks and was able to prove that I was not lying, or drunk. My family sat around reading Aunt Marie's Jell-O recipes and laughing like it was a comedy. I also made the mistake of bringing my family's phenomenal homemade cornbread dressing instead of stovetop one year. Only made that mistake once.
Really surprised that Penn would even try that 😂😂😂😂😂
We were all SHOCKED that he liked it.
Go Penn
I was taught no water- the jello gets mixed with cottage cheese, pineapple, and we added pecans. I come from Midwest. My mother made it all the time. I do add Cool Whip. And yes it is considered a side dish in Midwest.
I went to school in MI, and my husband is from Lansing. His mom passed down all these jello salad recipes! Oh, and I love the Bronner's t-shirt! I still get their catalog!
Love the Bronner’s shirt! I lived in Michigan for 10 years and the chicken dinners in Frankenmuth are the best. Loved taking guests from other countries there. And there’s at least one jello salad on salad bars in old Michigan home style restaurants. I love them!
1) this looks like the jello Bethany brought to Christmas dinner at the Griswold's
2) Clearly this recipe was created sometime after 11:30pm on December 31st
😆😆😆👍👍Great job women!!
I think you're right. Let's see what we have in the pantry we can throw together and call a salad. LOL!
Nope it is a real thing...I have been eating lime jello with cottage cheese my whole life!
We're from Southern California and my husband's family grew up with this recipe! His grandma and mother always fought over which needed to be added first - the pineapple or the cottage cheese. Brings back memories...
Last week I finally tried a variation of the "fruit salad" from the previous episode. I didn't use Miracle Whip, I used sour cream and did some different fruits. It was very good, I plan on making it again.
HA! My Gramma moved to Oscoda County MI when I was growing up-I never made this as a holiday dish, I used to make it all year round and loved it!!
I think it’s pretty clear that the southern dish you have to do is Banana Salad. For those not in the know, it’s whole bananas coated with Mayo and rolled in peanuts. It’s a side dish and a dessert!
Okkkkk, that’s a dish I never heard of. I vote for this one.
My mother in law rolled in the peanuts. I grew up with a smear of peanut butter on the banana and a drop of mayo.
That's different.
"I gotta getta Oscoda" was a dumb chant we used to say in high school in the 70s. Thanks for the Michigan memories. Now in Arizona I am missing all the jello fantasies of the Midwest. Hard to find a variety of jello here, what gives? Love the neighbor bits...
Both my grandmas made Jell-O "salads". These recipes bring back a lot of memories.
My granny, from Texas, had a cottage cheese jello salad. No water or juice is involved. It was just cottage cheese, cool whip, pineapple (sometimes maraschino cherries drained). You would mix then mix it all together. The jello went in dry, no adding water so you didn't have to let it all set up. She called it "pink stuff", not salad. If it was lime jello it was "green stuff" LOL
Not entirely sure how southern it is, but Mexican cornbread. Another one from my Texan Granny! First, you mix up some cornbread mix & add about a Tablespoon of sugar to it. Then brown up sausage or hamburger meat, add in a can of cream of corn, regular corn, a small can of diced green chiles, and shredded cheddar, and mix it up. (leave it in the pan, preferably cast iron) Then pour the cornbread batter over the top of the whole thing and bake it like you would regular cornbread. Voila.. Mexican cornbread, probably not Mexican at all.
My grandma always made jello "salad" on a piece of lettuce every year for holidays🙂
I m 73, grew up in Illinois and have been living in Missouri for almost 50 years. My Mom used to make this Jello salad minus the maraschino cherries. I loved it. The only time I would eat lime Jello. I was a very picky eater as a kid. I still eat cottage cheese and pineapple together minus the Jello. We will make a Midwesterner of you yet Kim!
I'm from Grayling, not far from Oscoda! (Start of the canoe marathon, Oscoda is the end). Love the recipes. I don't make this one, but I have eaten it before. It sometimes turns up at a pot luck :)
Hi from Oscoda 😁
" Is a healthy food. Is green". Lol. I can't ...🤣🤣🤣🤣
What you can make next anything that doesn't include jello and cottage cheese together. Girl I give you props you actually tasted it, I'm sorry I would of told my friend hell to the no.
We always made it with "dry" jello. Put cottage cheese in a bowl, dump a small packet of jello in it (pick a flavor to go with the fruit:orange jello with mandarin oranges, strawberry jello with strawberries, ect), add a small can of pineapple drained, add the other fruit, mix it well, then fold in a tub of cool whip. Set it in the fridge for at least an hour (can store innfridge for up to 2 days). You can place some more fruit on top just before serving. It is good. The cottage cheese helps counter the sweet and give a different texture.
And what are Lola and PC's verdict? Can't make this without the whole family giving it a taste test.
okay. My husband's (Michigan) grandmother made a version of this she called 'Man's Salad'. Whenever we would visit she'd make a huge pan of it and make sure we took it all home! Some of the ingredients that were all mixed together and allowed to set: lime jello, lemon jello, cottage cheese, mayonnaise, horseradish, pineapple, and nuts (walnuts?). It actually wasn't as gaggy as it might sound but then, we liked all those ingredients separately (excepting the jello) so, we ate it. I recently read out this recipe to my grown kids in case they wanted a 'heritage recipe' and they were pretty astounded. And they passed on taking a copy of it with them. lol. I sometimes think we need to make it just as an homage to Grandma Susie.
Penn is Joey eating Rachel “beef trifle” 😂
We did this with a can of pears.
The first layer is clear green jello....let it semi set up and push in with marchiano cherries let it finish setting up....... then, in a blender put a brick of cream cheese with remainder jello mixture.....place in mold and pears. (Sliced)....
Fyi: Add juice of pears as part of cold water of jello. I also add a package of clear gelatin mix when mixing the jello to help it hold its form.
I've had this "side" dish but definitely prefer pineapple pistachio fluff, which is just a box of pistachio pudding, a can of crushed pineapple and a container of cool whip. Super simple, just mix the pudding mix with the can of pineapple (don't drain the pineapple or make pudding, just add the pudding mix powder to the can of pineapple in a bowl), you'll get a nice radioactive green color, then fold in the cool whip. And that's it, chill n eat!
That's what I'm talking about!!!!! That's soooo good! Merry Christmas!
"Radioactive green"....I laughed so hard I wheezed!
We call the pistachio fluff Watergate Salad, some people also add pecans to it.
I tried making this way but I made up the pudding first, no wonder mine would not set up very well, lol. Still tasted good though. 😂
A variation of this jello salad was a Christmas tradition in my home growing up. Mom used cream cheese instead of cottage cheese and left some bigger chunks, she also added marshmallows on top... But I love the cherry Christmas tree idea! This is definitely one of my favorite salads!! 😋
More cooking shows please 😂😂 this is something my husband would really enjoy! I on the other hand would enjoy it as much as Kim lol
My mother in law taught me a similar one back in 79. In Minnesota. Just mix drained pineapple, cottage cheese, lime jello (dry), and cool whip. Mix. Done. I still make it. Love it
Banana pudding-green bean casserole-bread pie
My mother in law has an affinity to the retro jello mould recipes. One of the family dinners that she hosted included a jello mould that had veggies in it! We all sat there horrified staring at it. It was green and brown and hints of black. No one touched it except my mother in law and my sister in law nick named it the camouflage salad. Now the story of the camouflage salad gets told as some weird family legend every now and hen.
A bit late in commenting , but ... In the 1950's / 60's , my mom made a lime or lemon -lime jello mold w/ shredded lettuce , a dab of finely chopped onion , halved pimento- olives & maybe another ingredient or two ( chopped pecans ? ) I've forgotten w/ a side garnish of Miracle Whip offered . A nice sweet , tangy , crunchy side dish ! Very popular in middle class homes in Illinois in that time .
I love your neighbor videos! They crack me up. I also love her shout out to Michigan with her Bronners shirt! It’s an iconic Michigan destination any time of the year. I took my daughters-in-law for a girls day out there in August. Oh, but I don’t like this “salad”, cause I don’t like cottage cheese. I know I’m betraying my mid-west roots by admitting that. 😂
I cannot get enough of these pairing videos! You guys are hilarious together! I am from the south too and all of the Midwest cultural norms are alien to me!😂
In our family it’s the tomato aspic salad that causes division. You either love it (me) or gag just having it near you on the table.
Memories!
I just found this video. I thought my family was the only one to make this dish. I grew up on lime jello, cottage cheese and pineapple. I love it. We just served it in a glass bowl.
Im 20 minutes from bronners in MI....love the t shirt
And loved the video
And yes we have some interesting family dishes passed on as well, ambrosia, jello salad, tuna mac. However the cottage cheese in the jello made my "texture phobia" gag just a bit..hahah
We used to have that at Thanksgiving and Christmas back in the 70’s. So did my husband’s family! It was a holiday staple. We did not continue the tradition. 😆
A staple of church potlucks!! And it's on our holiday table this year, GREAT STUFF! Kim, quit acting like you don't love it..😀😀😀
My grandma would make this every holiday and use a bunt cake mold! She also made this strawberry/cherry jello thing that had a cream cheese topping! Best memories of the holidays!
More of this content, please. In the same way that dish is a salad, this content is my favorite kind of cheese.
OKAY...can I just say....this is AWESOME!!
I am a bred and born native Texan but my mom used to make this for every holiday! She added chopped pecans, though, and we didn't garnish it with anything. Maybe that's the Texas variation. 🤷🏻♀️
I love this stuff and have been looking for the actual recipe so I can try it again. So thanks for sharing! ☺
Love the shirt as I grew up in Michigan and it included many Bronners trips. Also Kim it could be worse my Grandparents put cabbage and carrots into their green jello and jello mold of course. I never ate it and my family still shutters in the memory of it. :)
The cucumbers and green peppers were what got me. I grew up in the wrong decade. *shudder* And I am not a picky eater.
At least that "salad" contained vegetables!
Lolololololol
Kim I'm sure you won't believe me, but my mother, 81, and I, 60, have been making jello magic like this for 40yrs. Nobody told us it was a thing. And we've never shared it with anyone (I'm sure you can guess why) but we love it. Although I will admit Strawberry or Cherry are better than lime. My late husband loved the lime though .....
True story, cross my heart.❌❤️❌❤️,❌❤️,❌❤️!!!
Love Penn enjoying the “side dish”.
Lime jello and any flavor jello plus canned fruit salad was very popular with kids in the 50s and 60s. Even jello and pineapple rings was great for kids.
Looks good but I think I would prefer sunshine salad: lemon jello, shaved carrots, and pineapple.
That is our family holiday jello recipe! It was called the Golden Glow salad in The Joy of Cooking cookbook but my mother can't cook to save her life so it is known to this day as Golden Glop and appears on the table at every holiday.
@@PollyHutchinson maybe she needs to drain the pineapple. Pineapple has an enzyme in it that keeps the jello from solidifying. Canned pineapple doesn’t have as much of the enzyme as fresh pineapple (the heat from the canning process neutralizes some of it).
@@pammurphy2258thank you for the suggestion. I have been making it successfully for family gatherings for years and actually use the juice from the canned pineapple to make the jello. My mother just struggles that much with cooking. When I was about 8 I was following my first recipe and asked my mother if a pinch of cayenne was the same thing as a teaspoon and she said yes. That was some spicy guacamole!
I LOVE this! My Grandma made this :) And my dad always talks about how he had to eat it when he was a little boy. Neither he or my Grandpa liked it but it was a household staple "side dish" in the Midwestern 1960s I was introduced to it as the next generation and I loved it! Thank you
I love this! Not the recipe.. haven’t tried it. But the video as a whole. 😊
I grew up in Iowa in the 70’s and 80’s.
Saw this lurking in our fridge on many a holiday.
Sweet baby Jesus, the things I’ve seen done to Jell-O.
“Jell-O binds the family.” 😅 Jell-O dishes are always at Lutheran Potlucks (Jell-O and, oh ya…..Cheesy Potatoes). I have my mother’s
Jello-O cookbook. I can make a Jello-O dish with any food group(s): protein (chicken, turkey, tuna, shrimp), dairy (cheese, ice cream), grains (vanilla wafers, graham crackers…) vegetables (carrots, celery, spinach…), fruit (oranges, pineapple, apples…). Any Jello-O recipe is a Potluck “keeper”.😀
My mom made this back in the 70s--got the recipe from one of her bridge partners. I never knew anyone else who ate it but us. Loved it then. Would love it now. Thank you for bringing back old summer cookout memories!
Southern dishes to consider: banana pudding, sweet potato casserole, peach cobbler.
Biscuits and gravy, cornbread, squash casserole, fried okra, collard greens, tomato sandwich, grilled pimento cheese sandwich.
My grandma passed away last month at the tender age of 99. She hadn’t cooked in years, but she used to be famous for her lime jello pineapple cottage cheese dish that she would often bring to family parties.
Since this is the first Thanksgiving without her, I’m making it for the first time in her memory.
The TH-cam algorithm must have picked up my Google search for the recipe.
This is actually one of the better jello "salads" that people make around here. Also the fluff one that so many are talking about is good. i live in an area that people put carrots and celery in orange jello. Somebody brought us a jello that had canned peas in it along with some other random veggie that I can't remember. I think people were trying to clean out the fridge when some of these got invented
Lol
This dish was at every family dinner! Thanks for the memories!❤️
I remember jello salads as a '70s summer thing in New York, called Ambrosia. Mostly layers of jello, fruit, and whipped topping. If I recall correctly, the challenge was to not put in the juice of the fruit because it wouldn't let the jello set, but I might be wrong. 😂
Never saw it with cottage cheese - I wouldn't have been able to eat it - As with everything, regional differences create variations that enhance our world.
Strawberry pretzel salad with cream cheese. It's layered and doesn't look like it's already been consumed😂
