Pattycakes in the Kitchen

This is a collection of my recipes. Many are quite old, and have been handed down through generations of my very Southern family. There are others that I have collected over decades of cooking. The purpose of this blog is to preserve and pass them on to the younger generations of my family, and to share with old and new friends. You are welcome and appreciated here.

Orange Jell-o Salad

Ingredients:
3 C buttermilk
8 oz. Cool Whip
2 3oz. pkg. orange Jell-O
8 oz. crushed pineapple with juice
1 C chopped pecans

My dear mother-in-law used to make this in the summer, and the family always enjoyed it. This recipe is from the 50's...the heydey of congealed salads...always present at Southern ladies lunches and showers! I think I'll make some!
