A cool and creamy summer salad that is always a refreshing favorite at potlucks and picnics!
Fluffy Orange Jello Salad
Two young boys showed up at my front door offering to wash out my garbage can for $20. They said they would bring over a pressure washer after school and make it like new again! While I don’t really need it washed I was more than willing to support their entrepreneurial adventure! I was happy to see them trying to work hard to earn some spending money!
I was worried that they wouldn’t follow through because it was scheduled for a week later and most kids that age still need to be reminded to take a shower, but they showed up on time and did a fantastic job! I tipped them to encourage their hard work and commended them for their efforts!
Working hard always makes taking time off and relaxing that much better! Kicking back at picnics is one of my favorite things to do and this Orange Fluff Salad is easy to put together and bring! I also like taking Scotcheroo’s, Peanut Butter S’mores Cookie Cups, or the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies!
