Pineapple Rice Cream Salad
"A sweet and fluffy Jello salad. The rice and pineapple add interesting texture. This is a great summer salad! The recipe is adapted from a local cookbook, contributed by a New Zealand foreign exchange student. Cook time is chill time."

Followed recipe exactly and got a very different jello salad. Really nice and so different. Sort of a cross between rice pudding and lime jello, but with a custardy twist. I don't have small children, but I bet they would love this. Thanks for sharing. -
This is very creamy and fluffy and a change from Jello's with Cool Whip. It has a custardy texture that is delightful. This is my first try at a Jello with rice and I specifically used Minute Rice, thinking it would be nice and fluffy, but my rice tasted hard in the Jello. I am wondering if a certain type (like medium grain) would be better, like used in rice pudding or maybe I messed up on the Minute Rice. Next time I will try a different rice and make sure that the rice is especially soft before adding. Roxygirl

I'm a stay at home mom with 3 adorable children-an 8 year old daredevil son, a 5 1/2 year old princess and a wild little 2 year old girl! I love to cook, and like having my little helpers in the kitchen!
I usually love recipes that are completely from scratch (I still love them actually) but right now my focus is on having any kind of food ready by mealtime! It's a little crazy here lately. Every summer we have a huge organic garden, apple orchard and raspberry and blueberry patches, along with a woods full of wild foods waiting for me to learn what they are so I can collect them. I'm learning about wild mushrooms first, so if anyone has any tips, let me know. We also eat wild venison which my husband and I hunt ourselves. It's our favorite meat, since it's lean, organic and cheap! Some of my hobbies are: hiking, biking, rock climbing, gardening, playing in the water with my kids, or just swinging in the hammock with a good book. I go stir crazy if I spend too much time inside.
