- 1 angel food cake, cut off brown and tear into small pieces
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons gelatin powder (or appropriate amount of sheet gelatin to set 3 cups of liquid)
- 1⁄4 cup cold water
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 dash salt
- 1 cup orange juice

- Add hot water and stir to dissolve gelatine, then mix in sugar, salt, orange juice and lemon juice.
- Refrigerate until partially set (about 1 hour).
- Line a dome-shaped bowl with plastic wrap. (Moistening the bowl, first, will help to hold the plastic wrap in place.)
- Prepare the whipped topping (what ever kind you've chosen) and then fold into the gelatin mixture.
- Starting with pieces of cake; place layers of cake and gelatin in bowl, pressing down after each layer.
- Set in refrigerator for at least 6 hours.

I live in beautiful British Columbia, Canada, (I often refer to it as God's Country) with my husband, Jeff, kids Breagh and Brendan, and our two Standard Poodles; Kazz and Michelle.

Wondering about my public name? It's a joke between a friend and me ... a twist on J. Lo (singer/actress Jennifer Lopez) - not that I can sing or anything!
I am a nurse by profession but I am currently an at-home Mom. I will be taking my nursing refresher course this winter (January 2008), so I will be combing through the 'Zaar files looking for good make-aheads and crockpot friendly meals.
I don't have a particular favourite cookbook, other than the one I've compiled for myself. I do, however, enjoy looking through cookbooks for inspiration. I've taken many of my favourite recipes and saved them on disc; as I find more good "make agains" I add them to my collection. I have also found many excellent recipes here on 'Zaar. Thank-you, all, for your wonderful contributions!
I enjoy Highland and Irish dancing, learning about new cultures, sewing, gardening, camping and, of course, cooking and baking!
We have hosted young Korean students for the past few years and I have really acquired a taste for Korean cuisine. Most of it is quite spicy-hot, but, like many asian foods, there is a nice balance of other flavours (sweet, sour, salty) happening also. Try it sometime!
As for rating recipes; I follow the 'Zaar guidelines rather than making up my own - it just takes the guesswork out for those reading the reviews.
