Zucchini bread has always been one of my favorites. I remember making it with my mom growing up. We had a big garden and in the summer we would have more zucchini than we knew what to do with. The whole house would fill with the smell of cinnamon and nutmeg, yum!

This recipe is one I grew up with, we always had a version of this jello salad at all holiday gatherings. I am not sure what the original name was, my sister always called it “Fluff” and it stuck! You can change up the taste of this recipe easily by changing up the jello flavor. Our family loves the Lime and have it the most but you can also make a Raspberry version.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

• Strawberry Jell-O
• Sprite or 7-up (regular or Diet can be used)
• Crushed pineapple
• Large Marshmallows
• Cream cheese
• Dream Whip (will need vanilla and milk to make as package directs)

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY JELLO FLUFF SALAD

1. In a medium sauce pan heat the soda until hot.
2. Add the Jell-O and marshmallows.
3. Stir until the Jell-O is dissolved and the marshmallows have melted.
4. Turn off the heat.
5. Add the cream cheese and beat until blended.
6. Add the drained crushed pineapple to the Jell-O mixture and stir.
7. Place the saucepan in a fridge or freezer for 20 minutes.
8. Make the Dream Whip according to package directions.
9. Gently stir together the Jell-O mixture and dream whip until well blended.
10. Pour mixture into desired serving bowl.
11. Refrigerate until firm.

RECIPE NOTES

My mom uses a manual hand mixer to mix the cream cheese and Jell-O mixture. I use an electric hand mixer either will do.

You can make different versions of this recipe by using other flavors of Jell-O this can change the color for different holidays or events.

Can you use Diet 7-Up or Sprite? Yes, you can reduce the sugar easily by substituting a Diet Soda.

I used a 7″x11″ Pyrex Glass Baking Dish for this recipe.

I grew up with this meal, we had it at least once a week in the summer when the garden green beans were ready. We also made it with Smoked Sausage. We enjoy this meal in the winter too! It’s the perfect comfort food to warm you up! The star of this dish is the ham. I use cubed ham but this recipe can be made with leftover ham, here are some more Leftover Ham Recipes.

I have quite a few friends that are pig farmers and I am always amazed at the steps they take to care for their pigs all year but especially in the cold. Do you know the barns pigs are raised in are temperature controlled? They even have alarms that will alert the farmer if the temperature isn’t what it should be. Find out more about how pig farmers care for their pigs all winter long, here.

Ingredients

• 1 16 oz pkg Cubed ham
• 3 Idaho potatoes  cubed
• 1 28 oz can Cut green beans or 2-3 cups fresh green beans
• 1/2 Medium onion chopped
• 2 14 oz cans Beef broth

• 1 teaspoon Minced garlic

• Add the garlic and onion and saute until onion is translucent (about 3-5 mins)
• Add the rest of the ingredients and cook until potatoes are tender (about 15 mins)

Notes

If I am in a hurry I skip the browning the meat part of the recipe and throw everything in the crock pot for about 3 hours on high. 

There should be some liquid leftover leaving it more like a stew, not quite a soup. You can always add more water if needed. Fresh green beans take more liquid to cook than canned.
