Jello Fruit Snacks

These are seriously easy and yummy! You need a jello mold or silicone mold, and the smaller the mold, the more quantity you'll get.

To start, you'll need:

1/3c. water
1 small (3 oz) package of your favorite flavor of J-E-L-L-O (we used lime)
2- 0.25 envelopes of unflavored gelatin
1 small sauce pan

1: measure water into sauce pan, and sprinkle all the gelatin on top of the water.

2: put the stove heat onto medium heat.

3: Stir until gelatin is completely dissolved.

4: When gelatin is ready, pour into mold.

I used a silicone ice cube tray, and only filled up the bottom.

5: Let the mold sit for about 2 hours.

6: Gently pull the snacks out of the mold.

Serve!

They are slightly sticky, which can be remedied with a light dusting of cornstarch, or leaving them to dry out a bit overnight.

She approves!

Fresh Ricotta Cheese

I don't have the recipe, and I have no goat, so I scoured the internet, found a recipe that seemed familiar, and used whole milk and cream from my local grocer. I was SO excited to make this today, and it only takes minutes! AND IT IS SOOOOO GOOD! SOO AMAZING! Fresh Ricotta Cheese (for the record, I made 1/2 of the following recipe) Ingredients: 8 cups whole milk 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 Tbsp lemon juice Directions: 1. Prepare a sieve lined with fine mesh cheesecloth (I used a thin hand towel from IKEA) and place it over a large bowl, set aside. 2. Into a large stockpot add milk, cream and salt and bring to a rolling boil. Stirring constantly. 3. When it has reached a rolling boil add lemon juice, reduce heat and stir until mixture curdle...

(see notes at the bottom) *Be sure to bake, cool, and stuff the cupcakes before starting the caramel.
