Hi Fleece Fun readers! I’m Ashlee and I love food. I mean I LOVE food, and I am so excited to share recipes with you! Today is not only my first post here it’s also my BIRTHDAY! So in honor of my birth I’m sharing my absolute favorite meal, it’s I make for myself every year for my birthday (Yes I not only make my own dinner I also make my own cake)
Today I’m sharing my Breaded Chicken tenders on my blog along with the rest of the dinner. For you guys I have my Layered Dinner jell-O. What’s DINNER jell-O? It’s a sweet side (some even call it Jell-O salad), but not QUITE a dessert. I grew up with this and two other Dinner Jell-O recipes and so to me it’s totally normal.

Notes
Because we traditionally make this with the lime and strawberry Jell-O we have nicknamed this “Christmas Jell-O”. You can actually change the jell-O flavors to anything els, and create all sorts of different color combinations. I’ve done raspberry and strawberry for a pink Valentines version, and Lime and Lemon for St. Patricks day! The kids LOVE seeing the new combo’s but this classic mix is my favorite.
And I will say it’s a great way to bribe the kids to eat more of the healthier portions of dinner! I hope you enjoy the rest of my Birthday Dinner over on my blog and I can’t wait to share more recipes with you!

That looks wonderful! My kiddies would love it I’m sure! Reminds me of my good old family get togethers. Someone always brings some kind of Jello-O salad it seems. 🙂 love your post!

It’s def a favorite with the kiddo’s! And I have a few other jell-O salad recipes in my collection that everyone loves. I had no idea how strange it was considered (and I didn’t even grow up in UT)

Yesterday was my birthday too! My 4 kiddos made me a French vanilla cake, with raspberry filling, cherry flavored frosting and mint (!) sprinkles. Yes, that cake perfectly catches all the personalities of the littles in this house, ha ha. However, the flavors complimented each other much better than I expected and it was a wonderful birthday. Happy Birthday to you, too!
Ashlee Marie says
thank you! and same to you! It’s always fun when they make something themselves. As a cake decorator I of course made my own cake… But they do make my mothers day breakfast, it’s always an interesting combo!
