So just what is Jell-O salad: dessert or side dish?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In this week’s Saving Southern Food recipe, we find ourselves faced with what some people call one of the Great Mysteries of Southern cooking: the Jell-O salad. Snickered at by some gourmet cooks for the less-than-sophisticated nature of its namesake ingredient and beloved by others, Jell-O salad remains a popular holiday item on many Southern tables. Some versions are sweet, like a dessert. Others involve lettuce and even (gasp!) vegetables. So what is it? Dessert or side dish? Do you dread the unveiling of this year’s crop of Jell-O salad or will you dive in spoon-first?

Have you made any noteworthy dishes using Trader Joe’s ingredients? Found any hidden gems that add personality to an otherwise average meal? Let us know.

Atlanta has been bustling with the opening of not just a few, but MANY new restaurants in the last two years.
A few, like Shaun’s and Trois, have been rewarded for their efforts with national recognition. But there’s also JCT Kitchen, the National in Athens, FAB, Room (and Stats, soon to come), Steel, Relish and Bistro VG in Roswell, Lola, Rathbun’s Steak.
Have you been to any of these restaurants? What’s your favorite? Why? Why not?
