• dinner

  Blah blah, the important part is below the dashed line.
  So I am in charge of making dinner tonight. 

  I think (if successful), I will make:

  Fresh squeezed lemonade!
  French bread + butter (I would do olive oil, but my next item has a lot of that already)
  Gnocci with pesto sauce and some leafy vegetable (we're out of spinach ).
  Bowties with alfredo sauce
  ???

  That's so carb heavy though, so I need to figure something else out.  Soup?
  O_O
  --------------------------------------------------------
  This is definitely good and easy (even I can make it! ):

  Fresh Peach Mousse

  

  1 small box peach Jell-O
  1 cup boiling water
  3 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced
  2 tablespoons honey
  1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  1 cup Cool Whip

  In a large mixing bowl dissolve gelatin in water.

  In a blender, combine peaches, honey and vanilla
  extract. Cover and process until smooth. Stir into gelatin mixture.
  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until syrupy - about 1 1/2
  hours.

  Beat mixture on high speed until doubled in volume,
  about 5 minutes. Fold in the Cool Whip. Spoon into dessert dishes.
  Refrigerate until firm - about 2-3 hours.

  Garnish with additional peach slices if desired.

  Makes 4 to 6 servings. [source]
