I have another simple recipe for you today that can be in a variety of flavors.

I have called this recipe the strawberry cool whip pie, but it can actually be any flavor you want, as long as there is a jello flavor for it. Today, I can tell you how to make the 5 ingredient pie, and also the three ingredient pie crust. For the pie:

                  Ingredients for pie

  • One 3 ounce package Gelatin (any flavor)
  • 3 cups cool whip
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • ice cubes
  • 2/3 cup boiling water
As you may have noticed, 3 of the 5 ingredients today are water, so this recipe is fairly cheap in price. To make the pie filling, do this:

When the mixture is combined, place it in the fridge for about 20 minutes. The filling will be a little thicker when you pull it back out. While the filling is in the fridge, you could make the crust. Here's what you need:
               Ingredients for crust
  • graham crackers (about 5 ounces or one sleeve), crushed
  • 1 stick margarine
  • 1/2 cup sugar
Now do this to make the crust:

 The crust is ready! Once the gelatin mixture is done sitting in the fridge, spoon it into the crust and spread it out evenly.

So there it is, a simple pie recipe that only requires time to sit and very little manual labor. Hope you liked this recipe, and if you have any comments, leave them below or on Facebook.

    I've used grape flavored jello for this recipe in the past!

Monday Meatloaf

So, on Saturday I gave you a simple baked potato recipe that goes great with a lot of dishes. One recipe that we tried it with was Alton's meatloaf recipe. Click the image to enlarge. There are so many types of meatloaf recipes out there, handed down from generations, that there is no "right way" to make a meatloaf. This is the recipe Alton Brown gave in his cooking guide in the roasting section. Here are the ingredients you will need:

Dolphins: Smart and Friendly

This is the second magazine article I want to share with you from Let Creation Speak , and this one is called "Dolphins: Smart and Friendly." I love dolphins, so I thought I would share some facts about them through this article. Enjoy!        The sign says "How to Meet the Dolphins. First, don't touch their blowholes. Also, don't put your hand on their heads. Pet them on their sides. Most importantly, if a dolphin offers you a fish, take it. It's a gift of friendship." This sign is posted on a beach called Monkey Mia in Australia. Every day

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a  poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.   The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost   Whose woods these are I think I know.    His house is in the village though;    He will not see me stopping here    To watch his woods fill up with sn...
