Macaroni and cheese sounds splendid. My gramma used to add chunks of tomato to hers. I have yet to find a recipe that compares. Any suggestions?

Jeez girl how hard can it be ? Fix the mac & cheese, get a can of diced tomatoes, open, drain and then dump in the mac & cheese and stir............ta da mac & cheese with tomatoes in it.

Hey, I ain't no Chef Boyardee but I figured that one out.

If you need any other culinary help just holler, I'm here for ya. :D
 

Shalimar...I'm thinking maybe it was fresh tomatoes that had been peeled and diced. Hmmm. Now I won't rest until I try it. I'll be eating it all (including the mistakes until I get it right) because nobody under this roof except me would dream of eating mac and cheese with tomatoes in it.
 
A friend of mine always has "golden glow" gelatin salad on holidays. Here's her recipe:

2 pkgs. lemon jello
½ tsp. salt
1 cup boiling water
2 cups cold water
1 cup pineapple juice
1 Tbsp. vinegar
1 cup finely shredded carrots
1 cup crushed pineapple
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
maraschino cherry halves and whole nut meats for garnish


Dissolve jello and salt in boiling water, add cold water, pineapple juice and vinegar. Cool one hour. Add carrots, pineapple and chopped nuts. Pour into mold and chill until firm. Unmold onto serving dish and garnish with cherries and nuts.
