There was a time when women’s magazines were filled with Jell-O recipes, enough that you could serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, all containing Jell-O. It seems strange now, but the history of the food can shed some light on the craze. Making gelatin was once a labor-intensive project, and was served to flaunt how many servants one had. Then at the turn of the 20th century, the Industrial Revolution gave us two trends that collided successfully: processed foods and the rise of the middle...

I am not a big mochi fan, but I decided to make some mochi since I found this super easy Microwave JELL-O Mochi recipe from the old Honolulu Star Bulletin. My kids ate all the mochi up so quickly I was shocked! I guess I need to make it again soon! Microwave JELL-O Mochi Ingredients: 1 3 oz pkg gelatin, any flavor (I used lime) 1 c sugar 2 c mochiko 2 c cold water Potato starch or cornstarch (I used cornstarch since that's what I had on hand). Directions: Spray a microwave-safe 9-inch square pan with non-stick cooking spray. Combine all ingredients and stir until smooth. Pour into prepared pan. Microwave on high for 6 minutes. The center will still be soft; stir center and microwave for 3 to 5 minutes longer until entire pan is firm. Cut with a plastic knife. Roll into balls (I also flattened them a little) and coat pieces in corn starch.
