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. It is a rather nostalgic dessert as it reminds me a little of an orange push-up ice cream treat from my childhood. Plus, it is a molded gelatin dessert, which always reminds me of the past. As with other gelatin and fruit dishes, someone might call this a "Jello salad" in the United States.

The French Market Creperie
If you are in the Knoxville, Tennessee area and in the mood for a crepe or just something different, I recommend checking out The French Market Creperie.
This small, cute shop located in downtown Knoxville on South Gay Street has deliciously filled crepes served by a very friendly staff.
We went for dinner. We were able to eat at the tables outside and enjoy a nice warm evening which I think added to the overall experience. There are tables inside as well though.
We really did not have to wait long for our freshly made crepes. Unlike other crepes I have had, none of our crepes were rubbery. In fact, they were very tender 🙂 The crepes were all filled with what tasted like quality ingredients.
We had one sweet crepe and two savory.
The Blueberry Lemon Curd Crepe had a pie-ish filling instead of fresh blueberries, but was very tasty and sweet. I am told the lemon curd was fantastic.
Both savory crepes had quality cheese and thin sliced meats. The imported ham in the ham and cheese had a melt-in-your mouth quality. Delicious!
According to their website, the Nutella and fruit crepes are the most popular. By the amount of jars of Nutella I noticed, I have no doubt they are very popular.
All of the crepes were reasonably priced compared to another creperie I recently discovered in the same region (not the same city). Plus, this restaurant had very good food and service:)
