Love the hair colour. It makes me think tropical sunset.
Every christmas as a kid there was a plain red jello and one with canned fruit cocktail or a green one with grated carrots in it. As we became adults the jellos disappeared except the red one was always made. Mom is gone now but every Christmas I make candies from her 1955 cookbook that she used to make. It's our taste of Christmas and have passed it onto another generation. And yes there is still a red jello on the table. Thanks for the retro recipes-love them
Name for the series: Veggie Vintage!
Love the new hair!! Looks so sunny
The salad looked amazing! My mum usually makes jelly in a cool mould that shapes it like a pile of fruit!
That's a good suggestion...thank you! That mould sounds amazing!
What I like best about this new series is your inclusion of the trials and errors with changes. Exactly what we would need to do to adapt and refine recipes to suit our tastes and life styles.
I'm so glad you liked it...I enjoyed making it and the next one should be coming out this month.
What was a beautiful celebration dinner without a jello salad! I personally only ate raspberry jello… had to be red! What a lovely way to remember your Mom with her famous Lime Ring… thanks for the memories… Side note …. That hair colour Jen, you ROCK it!
Reminds me of trifle. The idea of prepping a dessert the night before, doing the layers and having it slop onto your plate is something that we don't regard as gross with this kind of dessert. We all loved having something cold on a hot day after a hot meal. There is always the designated person to make trifle though cause they are the expert
My grandma always made lime Jell-O, cottage cheese and pineapple salad. I tried to make it and it went okay. Hardly anyone in my family actually likes it, but it holds a lot of nostalgia for me. I'll probably make one for the holidays
Hi Jen, First of All I have 2 say How Cool your Glasses and blue Checkered Dress, My Mom had Glasses and Checkered Dresses and Blouses, and How Pretty She was, Also She Used the Foam Curlers and Scarves, and Also She did Alot of Sewing, Gosh how much I Miss Her, I lost Her in 2011, Seeing Your Video's I Think of my Mom So Much, Thank You Jen
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope the videos bring back all the good memories. ❤️
Hey Jennifer! It's been a minute since I stumbled back on your page. I am LOVING the food aspect of this video! So any other vintage recipes you'd be interested in doing has my FULL support! 😋
Girl, I think you are probably one of the only people who can rock that hair color, it looks beautiful on you, thanks for the video😃
Aw thanks so much! I think I need to tweak the shade a little but I'm kinda digging it.
Ok, but first, wow! Your hair! It's like a Highlighter Dream! It's so bright it's glowing like Neon! I don't envy you the upkeep. Anyways! What a fun video. I don't know any vintage/retro recipes, so I can't recommend any, but I'm looking forward to more in this "series".
A highlighter dream...love that! ❤️❤️❤️
Your hair is the best color ever! So so you, so so beautiful!
Fun video. Did you know that Tupperware came out with "vintage" items and they released a jello mold in sky blue? My family has a tradition of a orange jello with peaches and it's a 2 tier. Top tier is straight jello with peaches and bottom tier is jello mixed with whip cream. So good!
HOORAY! Vegetarian vintage styled food recipes. I am forever veganizing vintage recipes. And did you know there is a vegan vintage Betty Crocker cook book. I had it but had to give it away when I had to move house, thankfully the public library has a copy :)
Oooh this turned out so yummy looking! I never fail to get things that are a bit structurally unsound so I'd still eat it lol
Love the new hair colour! It's so sunny and bright!
Thanks! I'm really liking it...feels very summer-y. ❤️
My Absolute Favorite dessert salad is my grandma's lime jello salad from the 1950s. It's a package of lime jello(just the powder) mix it with cottage cheese, drained crushed pineapple and cool whip. Mix, let set and eat. Delicious! I make it all the time.🤤🤤🤤
Next time I might have to swap the cream cheese for cottage!
My family makes this, but orange jello and canned mandarin oranges because my dad and I are allergic to pineapple. It's my favorite.
@@megancanada8496 that would be good too! Once in awhile when my grandma is feeling fiesty she'll use raspberry jello and raspberries instead of the pineapple and lime jello. I like that too but not gonna lie, the lime one is my favorite.😉
What a sweet memory making something your Mom made. I suggest using a just a little bit of cornstarch in the gelatin to firm it up a bit.
I love the orange hair - that is so summer
I'm living that creamsicle summer! ❤️
I’m loving the orange hair, it looks great on you :)
Loving the hair! Jello is a low fat snack I'm allowed.
Love jello!
What a refreshing color! You pull it off fabulous!!!
I remember jello salads.
Watching your version, I have a couple of notes. First, check the package. You were comparing sugar free to regular sugar jello. There is probably a change when molding the gel (like for Jell-O shots). Your idea to decrease the amount of liquid is a good one. Also look into no flavor agar to give more structure.
Second issue. Don’t add whip cream with a whisk, you are losing all the air pockets that make it fluffy. Always fold in your whipped cream in thirds. The first will deflate but bring the creaminess in. Then you add loft with the second and third portions.
Great first (actually second try). These things are hard to make and take practice. Glad you were able to find a way to bring back flavor memories.
Love the new hair colour. Orange is my go to when I'm bored of blonde. also loving the first in the vintage food, veggie values series. selfishly hoping most will be vegan too 💚
Thanks...it's such a fun color. :D I don't know if I can guarantee vegan due to my love of cheese but I'll try my best to at least offer alternatives ❤️
Because I’m a giant nerd (and a vegetarian who loves vintage food) I looked up the ingredients of Simply Delish. Turns out it contains carrageenan which I think is a less robust jelling agent than agar. I wonder if agar, or a mix of the two might be more effective?
I have to tell you how much I love your spirit, as well as your cookware.
So fun! Just found your channel, hope you're still around! Love your cheerful yellow kitchen!! 💛 💕👍😊
love your hair color with the dress! it looks so awesome!!
OMG it's lime cheese jello salad! My grandma made me a recipe box when I was little with a recipe for "Aunt Bride's Lime Cheese Salad," which other than the use of fruit cocktail rather than pineapple, is a very similar concoction.
Fun fact: this is the only recipe my grandma put in the "salad" tab of the recipe box. In embracing this loose definition of salad, one of my additions to the salad section was a recipe for MSG noodles.
What a cute gift from your Grandma and it gives me a chuckle that it was the only item in the salad tab. I like her style.
I’m going to have to take a look at my mother in laws’ cookbooks to see if UK did anything like these desserts in the 50’s…I’d like to try it!
Yessssss!!!!! And if you find something fun you'll have to send me the recipe!
Wow! Love the hair. You look great!!
This was fun! My Mom used to make alll kinds of jello concoctions! She would make a lime one with vegetables that I hated! I'd pick rhe vegetables out and end up with lime mush! aaah, sweet memories!
Absolutely Love the Hair!!!
Aw thanks! ❤️❤️❤️
I would love to see you cook some of your grandma’s recipes from the 20s! That sounds so special.
Good afternoon from Texas I just really love your videos may God bless you and love you
Aw thank you...right back atcha! ❤️❤️❤️
Love this video, can't wait to watch more in this series!
What a fun idea! As someone who grew up in Northern California, I never had any dishes like this around. BUT, I am very very happy to see veggie versions of super kitsch vintage foods! I never have the patience to do lots of recipe testing even though there are so many things that I could just never try because they have animals in them.
I think you're gonna love the next one I have coming up...I'm trying a meat alternative I've never tried before...cross yer fingers. (hint: I think it would go well with tiki drinks)
@@JenniferElise yesssssssss, I am so ready for this🍹
I love watching people do jello molds! What a great veggie friendly twist 😋
I'm sure that's not the last we'll see of jello! lol
Oh I love this! 2 of my favorite things are vintage and veggies!
We will get along super well then! ❤️
That looks so tasty! The more lime, the better, in my world!
My Gma always made the lime jello- cottage cheese salad. That was dessert for me. I could do without the pies and such and eat the entire bowl. (Not like I was ever allowed to do such a thing. LOL)
I'll have to try the cottage cheese one someday
Such a great video! Totally enjoyed it and seeing your tweaks to make it vegetarian. :-) You rock, Jen!
See that mixing bowl of yours??? We've got a whole set! My mum had them amd now my sisters got them! Red, with an orange one amd i think a green one, WITH LIDS!!! Lovely mixing bowls. At christmas we do a brandy cream which calls for an egg white. Without the egg white its this thick cream you could cut with a knife. With the egg white its a lovely smoothe easy to handle bowl of deliciousness.
LIDS???? LIDDDDSSSS!!! I'm jealous (if you can't tell) lol. These were my Mom's as well and I love them so much. :D Also a brandy cream sounds amazing.
Omg! So excited for this series! How amazing to have your grandmother’s recipes from the 20’s! I like how you show the mistakes and I love how you laid out the ingredient list with all of your vintage kitchen ware!! And your kitchen is adorable 😍
I'm excited to try one of hers though it'll take some deciphering since she never wrote all the steps. lol I had so much fun making the graphic for the ingredient list.
Your hair is absolutely amazing!!! I love seeing new videos from you! It makes my day!!
Aw thanks! It took a bit to get used to it. lol
Great new series! I love it! It was fun to watch!🤩 Also, I love your hair! Love the color!😍
I had so much fun with it. ❤️
My family is from Wisconsin so I definitely remember having this as a kid, LOL. I remember it being sweet, tangy and creamy and I really liked it. May have to ask my Mom to make it again next time I visit! Have you worked with Agar Agar Powder at all? It's the vegetarian version of Gelatin and is usually found in Asian grocery stores. Might be something to look into....sounds like you're just a couple tweaks away from nailing this recipe though. Maybe add a little for additional stability? Thanks for the nostalgia flashback! Love it.
It must be a midwestern thing. lol I couple of you suggested it so I think I'm going to try playing with that one too. Maybe do like a half/half with it.
Love it, what a great series. You are the best. Thank you.
Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
This looks great 🤤
Also loving your new hair, it’s giving me Jane Jetson vibes 💖🛸
OMG...yes!!!! I love that! Here I was just thinking LeeLoo from Fifth Element. Love those space ladies!
love the bright hair colour! Thanks for highlighting vegetarian recipes. I'm vegan, so some recipes (without egg or dairy) cross over :D
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I haven't tested it but I think you could use a vegan whipped cream and cream cheese for this (and leave out the egg). I'll definitely keep it in mind for the future. ❤️
@@JenniferElise thanks, Jen 😊
I noticed the Simply lime was sugar-free. I think that might have affected the formula and definitely the taste. I'm wondering if a little pectin might help hold it together better and you could dial back on the jello substitute? Not sure if pectin is vegan-friendly though. Green jello salad is one of my favorite memories from childhood. I make it just for me now and eat it all the time. I have changed it to make it more diet conscious. I use sugar-free lime jello (a small pack) add 1 cup of boiling water add 1 cup of crushed pineapple, 1 cup of cottage cheese, and about 1/2 cup of pecan pieces. I have a recipe for Coca-Cola salad that uses black cherry jello which was a favorite holiday dish too. I would be happy to share it and I can add it to the Facebook page. Your hair is screaming SUMMER and I love it!
It is indeed, that is a good idea and I'm pretty sure pectin is vegetarian. I'd love the Coca-Cola recipe! ❤️❤️❤️
Would look cute with pineapple rings on top! 🍍 🍍 🍍 👍😊
Vintage Vegetarian victuals? Retro Recipes for the Vintage Vegetarian? Love the new series. Good luck to you. ❤️
Those are some great names! ❤️❤️❤️
Lovely summer colour hair. Veggie recipes too! The "modern age" she seemed to be full of time savers. I make up the jelly put a cocktail cherry on a stick and put them in individual cocktail glasses. It seems to have a 50s look. Fun!
Birdy
Thanks! ❤️ That sounds like a fun little snack (plus it would be cute in a cocktail too)
Cool video. My grandmother made all manner of jello based salads and aspics. Actual gelatin WOULD be slicable and hold together. I don’t think there’s any edible vegetarian product that would hold something together like jello. But it looks cute and cutting back on the number of packets used would lessen the lime impact a bit.
Thanks! The recipe definitely has some tweaking needed but I'm a bit excited to try it again...I feel like if I can get ratio right I can make ALL the jello salads. lol
Perfect! I need to make something like this soon! I’ll try anything (vegetarian) at least once! Your hair is perfect today. 😍
I'd love to hear how it turns out for you! ❤️
Veggie Vintage Recipes sound good.
I’m a texture girl though. I can’t do jello.
Still fun to watch.
As someone who’s gluten free with a daughter who’s dairy free, it’s hard to figure out recipes.
I understand the process.
I 💓your hair it looks amazing😻
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Came here to say... that hair colour looks amazing on you!
I'm a Brit - so, a lot of American cuisine (current as well as retro...) is mysterious and baffling to me...!
Thank you! ❤️ It's a bit baffling sometimes to us as well. lol
You are too adorable, love all your videos! I wonder if you were to add a can of sweetened condensed milk would that work? Much love to you! ❤
Your haaaaiiiiiirrrrrr! Absolute fire!
Aw thanks! ❤️❤️❤️
My advice: try using Agar Agar from the Asian Supermarkt and not so much of the lime powder. That should make it less intense on the lime and at the same time give it more of the jelly effect while itself is tasteless
Oh my gosh you’re looking stunning 😍
Aw thank you ❤️❤️❤️
It's great that you didn't just present us with the finished "perfect" result but went through trial and error and explained the alterations and the reasoning behind it. As a European though I am aghast at the popularity this dish apparently has in the U.S. Just the colour is something you have to get accustomed to. Though I guess there are a few dishes around here, too, where you as a U.S. American would do a double take😅
tee hee hee...we do have some strange things here. This one had too many fails to not share it all with you guys! lol
Check to see if they make it in a non-flavored version. I know they do with jello. Then you can keep the amount of structure without over-doing the lime flavor. Anyway, looks good!
What would be cool was a comparison of both your Moms version next to the new attempt. Maybe a friend could taste both since you can’t eat your Moms not vegetarian one.
That's actually a good idea...I do want to tweak the recipe again.
I love seeing you and I love everything that you do but what I really would love to see is your beautiful kitchen I love that I am working on my little apartment and I want it vintage so I am trying to get everything that I can and the colors that I love are they had the green the yellows oh my gosh oranges please do a kitchen tour or a house tour I would love to see it keep doing what you’re doing you’re wonderful
One of these days I'll have to do a partial house tour...I just have a few more finishing touches to do ❤️❤️❤️
@@JenniferElise ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗
Wilton's meringue powder might be your answer. It's shelf stable, and makes a decent meringue.
Interesting! I'll have to give that a go...thanks!
This was so much fun! I am definitely going to make this too, I remember having this as a kid and I loved it! During Thanksgiving can you do your favorite dishes too? Also any halfway to Halloween (summerween) dishes you like?
Yes!!! Will definitely be doing some holiday inspired dishes! ❤️
Some of the flavor difference also comes from the fact that Simply Delish uses artificial sweeteners. And it's even prone to water leakage if you make it to package directions. Using that much powder, this could be a bad idea for someone who can't use those sweeteners. You could try making a recipe for lime Jello with fruit juices and agar agar to avoid that.
You're so right I'll definitely have to try it with agar agar. Plus there is nothing more fun than unmolding. lol
The new hair looks amazing and perfect for summer! Fun new series even if I cannot go vegetarian (severe food allergies mean I can’t meet my protein needs with a vegetarian diet)
Is part of the structural complications from the pineapple? I know canned is technically safe, but I’ve seen gelatin fail with canned pineapple before. Never had it since pineapple remains one of my worst allergies.
Aw thanks...I'm still getting used to the change but its a fun color. Oh wow that's gotta be tricky, but you can always do the non-vegetarian version. 😉
@@JenniferElise I usually do as Gramma P did - raspberry gelatin with mandarin orange segments. Or strawberry gelatin with peaches. Granted, I use boxed gelatin and Gramma P started with strained cooked down fruit and added plain gelatin.
Hi Jen! Your hair is drop-dead gorgeous! I love all of your vintage kitchen items. My mom did a similar jello-o dish but hers was all pineapple/lemon. Quick question: is it cool whip or whipped cream?
Aw thanks! ❤️ I have to say my kitchen makes me happy...still have some tweaks to make yet but it's getting there. I used the Aldi brand of cool whip
We do a lot of jello salads in my family, especially. My favorite is cool whip, cottage cheese, fruit, and dry jello. It's typically done with lime jello and pineapple, but my dad and I are allergic to pineapple. We do canned mandarin oranges and orange jello. We also do champagne salad often.
I also like when you change the typical flavors, some people don't recognize it. My mom does four stack pudding a lot. I'm not a fan of chocolate, so we do lemon or pistachio (my favorite). She has had people at church dinners like the dessert and ask for the recipe. They have made and brought the same dessert previously, just a different flavor.
Ok...I'm going to have to look into champagne salad...that sounds amazing. Also I would eat so much of your Mom's stacked pudding. lol
@@JenniferElise We like champagne salad because it's frozen, which is perfect for summer. You can eat it before it's frozn, but it's missing that something.
This is definitely a sweet thing to do in celebration of your mom! But damn, I think I'm with your sister, this sounds pretty not tasty. A lot of these midcentury midwestern dishes just don't make sense to my modern palate (and definitely were not what my family ate back in the day). Fun to watch though and I look forward to seeing you do more! Although, I do think they should probably be vegan friendly.
I think you might find the next recipe a little tastier! ;D
What you call jello is what is known as jelly here in Australia. Even until the late 80's my mum was still making jelly salad. It was never good. Mum's was very different to yours. She'd grate carrot or beetroot and set it in the same coloured jelly.
oh my....that sounds...very...special. lol
@@JenniferElise I will say 'it was memorable.' Decipher that however you may
As vegetarian who loves retro I can't wait to see more videos in this series. As a vegetarian who loves retro you should check out Sage Lilleyman's Dining through the decades series here on youtube if you haven't yet. In all of Sage's videos in the series she makes vegetarian versions of vintage recipes.
I think you're gonna love the next in the series...I'm excited to film it just so I can eat it. lol Thanks for the recommendation...I'll definitely check it out! ❤️
@@JenniferElise maybe someday if you like the channel you could do a collab video with them. I think it would be kinda cool seeing something like a favorite vegetarian snack food exchange.
My moms lime jello salad had mayonnaise, cottage cheese, and horseradish! How’s that for weird! 😂😂
Theres a vegan jelly called carageenan, which is clear and seems to hold its shape. I watched a vid by a Japanese woman, bamboo princess i think, and she showed us. You could use that, and real lime juice maybe?
Hummmmm...I'm intrigued!! I'll have to look into it...thanks! ❤️
I feel like ‘chonkification’ needs to be entered into the dictionary 🤣 x
I do as well...it's just to fun to say! lol
What color is that?
You might have better luck with Agar Agar. It sets way more firmly. Though I've never used the brand you're using of vegetarian jello so I'm biased lol
Great suggestion...I'll have to look into it!
Soylent Green Salad
GAH HA HA...you have to taste it first before I tell you.
I love your hair color! It really brightens your pretty face! My Aunt Gerri used to make this and we called it green stuff! I think it had nuts and coconut in it as well.
Thanks! ❤️ adding coconut sounds yummy!
Hey Jennifer, just curious - what’s your MBTI personality type? ENFP? 🤔🤗
I don't think I've ever officially taken the test but I'd probably agree with that assessment. ❤️
UNLEASH THE JELLO!!!!!!!!
Jello and krakens! lol
This was a super-fun video, btw! I wish I had vintage recipe recommendations, but I’m afraid they’d all be British (I’m in Canada, but grew up with British parents’… 1950s Americana recipes seem more fitting!
Vintage Veggie Victuals?
You know I like alliteration! lol That is a good suggestion. ❤️❤️❤️
Cover the top with chopped pecans and put fruit in the hole. Nobody will know!!
tee hee hee...this is an excellent idea!
