BANANA WALNUT JELLO
Some recipes are about food & some are about MEMORIES. This is a "memories recipe." This easy dessert was one of my Dad's favorites & always served for holidays. The ingredients are so basic but it's such a HUGE family memory I have to share. Mom cooked many dishes for the holidays so she probably didn't have an extra shallow...

Steps:
- 1. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the Jello & the boiling water. Mix well until the Jello is dissolved. Stir in the cold water.
- 2. Pour into a shallow baking dish, like an 8 x 8" one. Leave out on the counter for about an hour. (Yes, you could put this in the fridge if you're sure you'll remember to take it out in about 20-25 minutes, BEFORE it sets. I can't seem to remember this, even with a timer.)
- 3. Slice the bananas into the slightly thickened Jello. Make sure all the bananas are covered so they don't darken soon. Add in the walnuts. (You can chop them, if you want. Mom left them in larger pieces, so I do, too.)
- 4. Chill in the fridge for a few hours. Serve with whipped cream, if desired. Make some wonderful memories today!
- 5. NOTE TO MY FAMILY: Mom always made a larger amount of this Jello dessert. She liked to mix cherry Jello & strawberry banana Jello.

Steps:
- 1. Heat jello water according to directions adding jello powder and disolving. DONOT add cold water to heated mixture as direction tell you to. The frozen strawberries added make up for this. Add all ingredients to jello remembering to drain pineapple. The nuts are optional but are very good in this. DONOT add whipped topping and IMO/sour cream. Put 1/2 Jello mixture in a pretty clear bowl and put in fridge to set. Leave remaining out until the one in fridge is set up. I then mix 1/2 whipped topping with 1/2 IMO this makes a cream cheese tasting mixture that you spread on top set jello. ( for holidays I color this topping green or red) Place unset jello on top the spread on topping mixture. Then return to fridge until set. Complete by topjping off with either plain whipped topping or the remaining mixture of IMO and Topping. I then sprinkle nuts on top for a pretty look.

THE BEST JELL-O SALAD EVER! STRAWBERRY JELLO SALAD WITH BANANA
This really is one of the BEST Jell-o Salad Recipes. This recipe came from my mother's cousin Antoinette. This recipe has been popular in her family for over 40 years. It is a delicious treat during the summer months as well as an accompanying Holiday dessert (Color goes well for Holiday dessert table). The recipe calls for real whipped cream, however I'm sure that Cool Whip could be substituted as the recipe probably pre-dates the ease of prepared whipped topping, but I do prefer the original recipe as it just makes it more traditional. Note: I use Strawberry Jello, but I'm sure any kind of berry or cherry flavor would work well too... I also use food processor chopper for preparing the bananas & cherries - I use whisk attachment on electric mixer for preparing the set jello & whipping the cream.
