STRAWBERRY JELLO DESSERT

Light, sweet, refreshing, non fattening ... plus another hot day!
We had a delicious cold watermelon and this time I manage to save half of it by not slicing it. I saw this jello idea a long time ago and I knew one day I have to make it, but I've change the rules; I've added some strawberries in it . Turn out to be a great success! This jello is so easy to work with, plus endless ways to serve it. Just be creative!
Enjoy!
Have a nice day!

Strawberry jello stuffed lemon shells!
I just love the contrast, yellow, white and glossy red!

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND EVERYBODY!

It's much warmer then Pacific. But both gives you the same feeling, that WE are so small and insignificant...
