My grandma is a legend when it comes to jello.
Everyone remembers her for her jello. She didn't learn to cook until she was married. Everything she made was simple and wholesome. She was amazingly organized and clean. A modern lady and an old fashioned mom whose table was always full and always ready for family.

Lemon Risotto with Asparagus

1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1-2 Tbsp oil
2 C Arborio rice
6 C broth (veggie or chicken)
1 - 1 1/2 lb asparagus, cut into 1/2 in pieces
1/4 C lemon juice
1/2 -1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1/2 C cheese

If I have them - fresh basil and parsley

Saute onion and garlic in oil. Add rice and saute a little longer. Add broth 1-2 C at a time and let the moisture evaporate before adding more. Stir often. When you are adding the last cup of broth add lemon juice, zest and asparagus and herbs. Cook till moisture is mostly gone. Add cheese and mix.
