Orange Cream Gelatin Dessert is an easy dessert that you can make from a few items in the pantry and freezer at any time of the year. It works well for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mother's Day, bridal or baby showers, etc. It is sweet and rich, yet somehow also seems light and refreshing.

About
My name is Paula. My mother was an excellent cook. In fact, I have been surrounded by excellent cooks all of my life.
I always liked to cook, but took several years nearly two decades off from really cooking while I was working full time. In fact, I took so long off from really cooking that I forgot how to cook a lot of things.
Since becoming a stay-at-home mom and adjusting to continually changing economics, I have started really cooking again. I find that I am slowly remembering how to cook and really enjoy cooking again:) I still do not like cleaning up afterward though:(
Don’t get me wrong, I still love to eat out!
So, why this blog?
- After my mom died, my sister and I have had several requests for her recipes from family and friends. This will give me a way to share some of those recipes.
- I feel guilty about not cooking much when my stepson lived with us. Maybe, I can help someone else learn something.
- I had people show interest in my food related posts on my other blog, Another Segue.
- I am fascinated with kitchen gadgets and cookbooks, so I want to share my opinions.
- My husband is totally into new or different food items, so I can share some of our experiences. This may possibly save someone else money and/or taste buds.
- I love to eat out and I’d like to share my opinions about some of the places I eat or have eaten.
The recipes may be basic. The food may be fundamental. The techniques will not be those of a trained chef. I am a simple home cook who tends to be frugal, trying to share what I enjoy while having fun.
