1 C water
1 large (6 oz) package orange Jell-O
2 C orange juice
1 (15 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 C whipping cream, plus sugar to sweeten
In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add Jell-O and stir until dissolved (2 min). Stir in orange juice; refrigerate until syrupy. (I have made it just fine without refrigerating until syrupy.) Stir in mandarin oranges. Pour into an 8x8 dish or large pie plate. Refrigerate several hours until set. Whip and sweeten cream; spread over top. Makes about 8 servings.

We love this Jell-O. It is thicker than regular Jell-O.

Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Shepherd's Pie
2 lbs. potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 T sour cream or softened cream cheese
1 large egg yold
1/2 C cream or chicken broth
salt and pepper
1 T E.V.O.O.
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 T butter
2 T flour
1 C beef broth
2 t Worcestershire sauce
1/2 C frozen peas
1 t paprika, if desired
Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain potatoes and pour them into a bow. Combine sour cream, egg yolk, and cream. Add the cream mixture into potatoes and mash until potatoes are almost smooth.
While pots. boil, preheat large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil to hot pan with beef. Season meat with s & p. Brown meat for 3 to 4 minutes then add chopped carrot and onion. Continue browning meat and cooking vegies, stirring frequently.
In another smaller skillet, cook butter and flour together for 2 minutes, over medium heat. Whisk in broth and Worcestershire sauce. Thicken gravy 1 minute. Add gravy to meat/vegie mixture. Stir in peas.
Preheat broiler to high. Fill an 8x8 casserole with the meat mixture. Spoon potatoes over meat evenly. Sprinkle with paprika and broil 6-8 inches from the heat until pots are browned.
This recipe can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven. You can make it even easier by using instant mash potatoes (potato pearls) and leaving out the egg and cream cheese. No need for broiler.

Drain pineapple, reserve juice
Combine reserved pineapple juice with tomatoe paste. Add tomatoes, green chilis, beans, garlic, bell pepper, chili powder, cumin, jalapeno chilis and salt.

Top with sour cream, cheese, green onions - whatever sounds good.
Thank you Marilyn McLean for this outstanding recipe. Marilyn's amazing chili has won at the Utah State Fair twice & once you taste it, you will know why...it is SOOOO good! The name Fire and Ice makes it sound rather spicy; however, it isn't too 'firey' and if you are worried, leave out the jalapenos. This recipe goes great with the Kalli Roll Recipe listed in the blog.

Barbecued Meatballs
1 egg lightly beaten
1 (5 oz) can evaporated milk
1 c. quick-cooking oats
1/2 c. finely chopped onion
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
In a bowl, combine all ingredients except beef. After ingredients are mixed well, crumble beef over mixtrue and mix again. Shape into little 1 inch balls (I use a little cookie dough scoop). Place in a greased 9x13 pan. Bake uncovered at 350 for about 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven. If there is any excess grease after cooking, drain it off...
SAUCE:
1 c. Ketchup
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour over cooked meatballs. Bake in oven again at 350 for another 12 minutes.
Note: I got this recipe from Good Things Utah. It's soooo easy, I can make it in my sleep. It's wonderful with sticky white rice. Sometimes I double the sauce recipe but you don't need to - it makes a lot of sauce.
