FAVORITE BREAKFAST:

If you don’t see sugar on the bottom of the bowl when the Wheaties are gone, you did not have enough sugar.

1 large bowl Wheaties
Lots of sugar
Milk

Put Wheaties in bowl; add sugar to taste and cover with milk.

4 C. fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
4 C. sugar
2 T. lemon juice
Fruit Fresh per pkg, directions

Place berries in a large, heavy saucepan with half sugar and Fruit Fresh. Mix well. Bring to a full rolling boil and let boil 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add remaining sugar, bring to a boil and boil 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice. Pour into a large bowl and cool, stirring occasionally. Cover and let stand overnight at room temperature. In the morning, ladle into hot scalded jars. Cover with standard canning lids. Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.

Makes 6 to 8 half-pints.

Knox Blox were a favorite at the Young house. Seems like Mom made them a lot when we were going to have a babysitter. Can’t remember the name of the sitter who was with us when we invented the Knox Blox game, but it went something like this. Throw any color Knox Blox up towards the ceiling. It will stick and the fun is waiting for it to fall. Warning: If you don’t clean up the mess in a timely manner, the red square outlines will remain, and your mother will find out.

4 envelopes Knox unflavored gelatin
3 – 3 oz, pkgs, flavored gelatin
4 C. boiling water

In a large bowl, combine the unflavored and flavored gelatins. Add boiling water and stir until gelatins are dissolved. Pour into a 9×13″ baking dish. Chill until firm and cut into squares.
