Red-White-&-Blue-Jello

4th of July Layered Jello

It's amazing how nostalgic Jello can be. It always reminds me of my Grandma who makes every sort of jello known to man. So chock full-o-nuts and fruit you would be hard pressed to find the jello. My jello tastes are a bit more simple however. I like the blue stuff, and the red, and ALWAYS served with homemade whipped cream.

Red-White-&-Blue-Jello-1

So this 4th of July I'm making a simple three layer jello salad, no nuts, no fruit, just real simple and real good. Does your family celebrate the 4th of July with Jello? What's your favorite flavor?
