I don't claim to be a great cook or to have any original recipes. I love collecting new and interesting recipes and I especially love all my old favorites that I have used over the years. Many recipes are from family and friends and I love them because every time I use them I am reminded of that person and/or some great memories that are attached. I am using this format to begin to put all my recipes in one place. I have attempted this in many different ways but none have been very successful. I am hoping that this will do the trick. Right now for recipes I reference a few different cookbooks, a small 3x5 card box, and a large plastic tub with loose papers. Not a great system. This is my new leaf. Ideally, every day I can put at least one of my recipes into this blog. This will make it so easy and quick for me to refer to and also to share my favorites with friends and family who ask for recipes.

Pretzel Jello Salad

2 cups crushed pretzel sticks (I like the waffle pretzels)
3/4 c melted butter
3 TBS sugar
8 oz. cream cheese
1 c sugar
1 6 oz. pkg strawberry jello
2 c boiling water
Two 10 oz. pkg frozen strawberries (or to your discretion)
1 container cool whip

Mix first 3 ingredients and press in to bottom of 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for metal pan, or 325 for glass pan for 8 minutes. Let cool. Beat 1 c sugar and cream cheese. Fold in container of cool whip. Spread over pretzels. Boil water and mix in jello until disolved. Add strawberries into jello, then set aside in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or until it is partially set. Pour over cream cheese mixture. Chill.
