Hello! In the kitchen with Sharon this week The Times-Gazette had a carry in to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day. My friends asked me to fix the green jello stuff. LOL.
What they meant was Watergate salad. It is so easy to fix and it is so good. Needless to say they licked the bowl clean. If you need a dish to take to a dinner this is the perfect idea and so easy to make. In five minutes you are ready to go. And, of course, you only need five items. Let me know what you think? We really love it.
Please send your recipes to shughes@timesgazette.com or call me at 937-393-3456. I cant wait to hear from you.
