Retro Recipe- 1950's Jell-O Molds

[@shonitagarcia3222]

Culinary secret tip: when creating fruit bowls... they usually won't share this tip. It goes for deviled eggs as well if you don't have the egg platter... with your knife cut a piece off the bottoms to create a flat surface, it's just a sliver of your melon bowl or egg that is too round to just make it flat so it won't slide or roll over. You can even do it for stuffed peppers or stuffed tomatoes as well. Very handy to do. Beautiful job. Yeah, whenever you mix fruit into jello, be prepared for an overnighter. My all time favorite is the retro green jello salad with the cottage cheese mixed until it. It's the only way I'll eat cottage cheese lol. Thank you for sharing. Take care.

I think the color of that dress looks gorgeous on you. It really goes well with your skin and hair.

[@sarahjohnson9026]

I LOVE the Care Bears on your dress and skirt!! My husband bought me a Care Bear for Christmas a few years ago because I had always wanted one as a child and never got one. It was a huge surprise.

[@Updated8SecondsAgo]

She’s so pretty, I love the aesthetic what a cool era

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Thanks so much!

@@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor you’re welcome 😁

[@valerieadams7001]

very much so.

[@Soniawithani]

I too am a child of the 80's and love vintage. Jell-O was the "desert" of my childhood and for many others, perhaps that is the 80's/50's connection? I love this.. I will be trying it for sure and btw cute little molds

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

That is true!! Ahh thanks so much!

[@annwest7527]

I love the vintage recipes. My mom had the whole set of the cook books. It brings back great memories. I cooked many hours out of those books. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheBakingDiva]

Hi, oh how I remember the Jell-O dishes from the 60s.Brings back fond memories. Thanks for sharing them with us. You look beautiful! With your hair and that dress you could easily be a movie star from days ago. Enjoy your week and I’ll see you again soon, Dolores ❤️

[@lewisnapton8399]

Mr. Cash has eyes only for you! That boy loves his mom!

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Yes! He’s a babe!

[@RalphReagan]

Ate plenty of jello and mayo in the 60's once I snuck into the kitchen and was taking a big bite anticipating whipped cream but it was mayonnaise.

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Hahaha oh noooo

[@RalphReagan]

@@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor it was quite horrible.

I felt a gag reflex just from reading this 🤮☺

Ohhhhhhhhh 😝

[@debbieheim3694]

Thanks Laci, good memories of Jello and Mayo! Had it at every get together when I was little and always loved it! 💜💜👏👏

[@shellyl.9662]

Laci You are such a kind hearted person your videos make me happy and I enjoy watching you cook I enjoy watching you model you’re close you are such a great inspiration to me another many other women That we can be who we want to be in dress how we want to and who cares if people don’t like it. Anyway I’m gonna always love watching your videos keep up the good work Lacey and you are a kind soul we need more people like you in this world take care

[@withered_wheat]

Her just having this life is amazing! I mean back in the 1950s it would be amazing back in the day it would be so much fun,color full,and full of music or yeah

[@rcdoodles6214]

A vintage jello recipe I’ve used is a three tier Jello salad with one layer made using lemon jello mixed with cream cheese. Delicious! Love all your hard work and dedication to live and share the sweet era of the 1950s. Well done!

[@momof2momof2]

You have a tan ! Looking lovely ! I love that series of cook books. Being born in the late 50s, I grew up on jello with mayo and love it! We would have the more citrus flavors of jello that had shredded veggies in it like carrots and celery with a dollop of mayo on top, its really delicious. The thicker (in height) the jello is the longer it will take to gel.

[@rachelledellinger2528]

Hello Laci! I am so glad to see you are doing well and I hope things are going better for you. Thanks so much for continuing to film. I for one always look forward to them. Much love from Rachelle:)

[@katmatification]

To make it look like a rainbow, you could layer different colors of Jello in a parfait glasses.

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

That’s a good idea!

[@kathyhester3066]

Ah, memories. This recipe & several others were mainstays for my one Grandma. She also made several different vegetable salad Jello molds & aspics. My other Grandma was not as adventurous. She invariably made Jello w/fruit ring mold. When she served it there was always a small cobalt blue bowl w/mayo in the center.

[@lesafowers8142]

What can I say, I love Jello and it looks delicious. Super beautiful outfits. Just love all things vintage and it looks like may like the food too.

[@CC-rb2hp]

You look absolutely beautiful in your dress ...I've noticed in all of your 1950's desserts the flavours are really weird but it fun watching you prepare them and watching your facial expressions when you try the finished dessert priceless ...love your videos looking forward to catching up on your life feed.

[@crystalheart9]

Good ol' jello and fruit cocktail a fond memory from my childhood. You did a fabulous job on your jello fruit salad dish.

[@MeanBeanKerosene]

In any sweet recipe that calls for mayo (which is invariably 50's/60's recipe's) you can substitute sweetened condensed milk for the creaminess; that's also why your jello didn't set right. Freeze the jello instead if you add something that isn't water/jello so it'll set quicker. And don't worry about any ice crystals; they can thaw in the fridge once it's all set. Lovely, as always, Mrs. Fay.

[@thevintagekitty]

Great! Love wacky-vintage recipes!

[@madilynbeaner7484]

You did a great job on what I consider a harder recipe, lots of steps and waiting for it to set up. The melon looked difficult for me, too, but you managed it quite well. I just tried watermelon stars one Memorial day and ended up in E/R with stitches in my pointer finger. You did great on both and it really looked like the picture in the book. You looked adorable fixing it in your retro kitchen. I love just watching you try these recipes and being surprised when it tastes good. Such fun.

[@samanthabrakefield]

You look adorable! Great dress, great color, great recipe!

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Thanks so much!!

[@annetteelder-clark505]

I'm having Grandma flashbacks. My Grandma made summer jello salads for years & years. She was lovely and sweet and fun and, despite the jello, a great cook. She was born in 1909 and passed away in 2003. Thanks for reminding me of sweet summer vacations at her house. Lastly, those carebear dresses are amazing! I love them. My little brothers were Carebear boys, born in '79 and '81... watched a lot of those cartoons with 'em. It's happy memory day. 🙂❤😊

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Ahh what fun memories!

[@MichelleH1791]

...some good Jello action there." Lol. This is adorable. My grammie used to make all different kinds of Jello salads and other fruit salads. You talk to Johnny Cash the same as I do to one of my cats. I swear he understands what I'm saying! Lol. Just love watching your videos. Your personable, kind and low key. Some KZbinrs are too hyped up. 😊

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

So glad you enjoyed! Ahhh yes! I think they know what we’re saying. 😊

[@staciedisotell689]

Loved your dress it is so pretty!! Also love every time Johnny cash makes a appearance 😻

[@bigbandsrock1]

I actually was raised on that cookbook and it’s so fun to watch you bring it back to life! Looks fantastic as you do always! Really enjoy your delightful episodes! Thanks for being you!

[@thecatlady6]

My Mom used to make all kinds of recipes with Jello in the 60s, 70s and probably into the early 80s. I don't remember if there was mayo in it or not but I do remember the Cool Whip.. Laci, I love watching your videos and I think I figured out why. You remind me of my Mom! She passed away in 1984 so I haven't heard her voice in a very long time and that could be why it's taken me this long. The only difference is that my Mom talked a lot faster (we're from New York). She dressed the way you do until the 70s. I've seen lots of pics from her single days in the 50s of her wearing 'party' dresses. And, your aprons! My Mom had tons of them! I had a box of some of them but I don't remember what happened to it. I moved around a lot in my 20s and I probably lost a box in every move. Thank you so much for your bright, fun videos! And, for bringing warm, sweet memories of my Mom!

[@WithLoveKristina]

It turned out SO CUTE!! I love the end result, this makes me wanna do Jello so bad now!

[@lucretiamacevil362]

The recipe looks really cute! And pretty simple to make with stuff you'd already have. Though I would replace the mayo with a vanilla pudding packet. One thing I learned, the hard way, was always look up what the volume is when a vintage recipe says "can of" or something close. Sizes change... Nothing like a ruined dessert to teach you that.

[@scooterdover2771]

The mayo does seem weird, but with all the sugar from the Jello and the lemon aide; I think adding whipped cream or pudding would make it way to sugary.

[@janetyoung903]

my ma made jello salad all most every day for my snacks i love and still eat the one she made with cottage cheese my favorite....she had the whole collection of cook books from the 1950's

[@fazergazer]

I was totally transported back in time By this recipe so very fine!

[@DisDutch]

You have gave us a new idea! The mayonaise here! Then we saw the mayonaise in your chocolate cake! Then we went online to see since when this was a thing and it turned out mayonaise is a old secret to make and keep the cake moist and perfect! So thank you!!! We love your vids! Old fans that never comment but now we had to lol ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Laci, Love your Care Bear dress. It looks so cute on you 😊 Thanks for sharing a throw back jello fruit dessert. Yours turned out so pretty. 💖

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Haha yes!! Thank you!!

[@helenahandbasket3016]

Wow, such a pretty desert fit for just about any occasion. Love the dress as well. I'm going to try this recipe but I'll have to try to find some jello molds first. When I was a child we called Jello nervous pudding and for some reason we thought it was hilarious, probably because my grandmother hated it, lol.

[@Markustajahoyrylaiva]

I love the fact you are living the way you want, I have the same thing for 80s, greetings from Poland

[@karenshaffer1511]

I'm so glad you did this recipe! I look at a lot vintage or retro recipes and think they look a bit... over the top. But this turned out lovely! I have several of the same small mold and was thinking I could do this, but too bad I don't have a little variety in my mold collection, lol. I think the different molds you have gave the dish charm and interest. I'm not sure how well it would travel, especially in warm months, but this would be great if you had some ladies over to your home to play bridge or something!

[@anaespinobarros193]

[@clancymullins5316]

I thought about you this weekend. Went to a thrift store and I never have any luck, but found 2 pieces of Fire King wheat pattern. I saw some other vintage things and thought Wow Laci would love that ☺

lol! I love it! Actually looks like a fun summer recipe!

[@katiev8793]

Can I just say I love your videos? And being a crazy cat lady is becoming the norm and I'm so loving seeing your kitties in your videos as well. I like jello, I'm not a huge fan but I'll eat it. Turned out really cute!

Its always a joy watching your videos their bright, colourful, framed and shot really well and you always look immaculate.

Your dress is so awesome. Care Bears are the best.

[@cattycorner8]

[@serinachilders74]

You could try turning the jello out onto the turner and then slide it off on the rings. Great video, jello was all the rage in the 50's.

[@JesusChrist-fq7sx]

This is exactly how I wanna live my life, its tough to find someone who would join me in living in the 1950s

[@SoulTarot90]

I would love that too! I feel trapped in this new era somehow! My most favourite are victorian era... medieval... so on... but vintage would definitely do it as well!

[@lindaloo6951]

Okay Laci.... I had to show my husband this video because of your Care Bear dress and teddy bears!!! I cant even!You outdid yourself! Love this video!! The melon statue and goodies!! Awesome! And then the pink velvet couch!!! Where was that? You are incredible!!!

[@leslikuyweski4576]

My Mom loved Jello salads. She made many. She made one with lemon or lime jello with vegetables. I hated it! I would try to eat the Jello without getting a vegetable on the spoon! Fruit, yes. Vegetables no! The Care Bears dress looked nice on you. Perfect for you!

[@staywayout]

I do like mayo, but not sure I'd like it in that, but it does look delicious! Looks really great too 👍 I wonder if cream cheese would work in that recipe. It does look like a cool thing to make for a summer get together, thanks enjoyed watching, the clothes are beautiful too! 😃

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

It really was good! Thank you!

[@sheilaspaulding8812]

Love that dress! So pretty!

[@iammedusa2600]

Laci, that looks delicious! My Grandmother and Mom made "green salad". It's lemon & lime jello, mayo, horseradish in a ring garnished with strawberries. Every place I take it, it disappears. Sounds gross, but it's not~xoxo

[@lorieharris2776]

Love it!!!!!!!! Even my Grumpy bear agrees. I see a lot of people swap out the mayo for cool whip, and I wonder. Am I the only one doing the same with sweeten condensed canned milk? Nothing against cool whip, I like that too, but for many of the jello recipes I have from my mom, and books, condensed milk adds a richer taste, and texture comes out closer to the mayo based ones. Laci, if you read this, please (please please please purttty purtty please with a cherry on top!) Consider dping candlestick salad! (I really recommend though subbing out the mayo on this one.) Not only is this a great holiday jello dish, it's hilarious too. No serious way to take it serious and, well. The picture of candlestick salad tells all. Lol. ~Lots of Love from my 80's care bear heart to you and Mr.Johnny.
