Today I am packing to go to Mom 2.0 – WHOO HOO! I don’t get out much so this is a BIG deal.
I am packing my camera.
I am packing my laptop.
I am packing jello…
This is a container of my grandmother’s famous beet jello.
Yes, beet jello does exist. Oh, and while we are talking in italics…why is Holly taking beet jello to Mom 2.0?
It all started on #gno a while back (December 22, 2009, to be exact)…
*insert wavy Scooby-Doo lines with the doodly-doo sound effects*
In the midst of a jello conversation (don’t you just love Twitter?), Rachael at @Todaysmama mentioned that she had a superior chunky jello recipe.
I replied with the following boast:
To which she replied:
Was that a challenge?
Well, in a few hours Rachael will be on TEXAS soil and as a matter of Texas-chunky-jello-potluck-pride, I will be taking the game to her at Mom 2.0.
Yep, it is THAT serious.
So if you would like to play along at home (if you are at Mom 2.0, please stop by the jello suite…I will have extra spoons), have fun making this recipe!

Okay, now I’m kind of sad that I turned down the beet jello.
Is this recipe serious? Beets? Pickle juice? MAYO? Onion? My stomach is churning from reading that. And not in a good way. Holly! Say it isn’t so!!
I’m dying to know how it goes. My grandma makes lime jello with celery. I cringe every time I see it. LOL
I’m sure you are having an amazing time – jello and all!
Jello Wars! Epic!
My friend and fellow Kitsap County resident is going. I believe you know her. Say hi to Jenny On The Spot!
This North Carolina gal does not do windows or beets….ewwwwwwwww!
