The True Cost of a Lightbulb

The joke goes like this: “How many people does it take to change a light bulb?”

The answer is one...as long as that person isn’t me.

If it’s me, apparently there are risks.

So, it’s a Tuesday night. The light in the vent hood above my stove hood has gone out. I decide it’s time to change it. I love having that light above me while I cook so I am wasting no time to get it fixed. I already purchased the replacement bulb. I’m ready...

This is a ZReduction recipe. One summer as a kid, I made Jello-1-2-3 just about every day the whole summer long. This was when I was beginning to hone my cooking skills. This version is actually healthy and contains no sugar. The kids will still love it and adults, too. I’ve even served this at dinner parties.

Servings: Serves 5. Can easily be doubled.

Ingredients:

1 envelope of unflavored gelatin
¾ cup of water
2 tsp of Truvia
2-1/2 pints of raspberries

Instructions:

Put the gelatin into the water. Heat for a minute and 30 seconds on your microwave or until it’s almost boiling. Stir the gelatin until it dissolves.

In a small blender, add one pint of the raspberries along with the gelatin mixture and the Truvia. Blend until smooth. The smooth mixture will look pink.

Take out your dishes. Put a small handful of raspberries into each dish. Reserve a few for garnish. Pour the pink mixture over. Divide evenly among the dishes. Put in the refrigerator for at least an hour to firm up. If you are going to leave them in the refrigerator longer then cover the tops with plastic wrap.

Serving Suggestions:

To serve, just add an extra raspberry on top for a fun look. Or cluster three to make it look really fancy.

These will keep in the refrigerator for a few days without getting rubbery if you just keep them covered and sealed.

Enjoy!
Cheers,
