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.

Vanilla Vanilla Frappe (no coffee)

Basically tastes like vanilla ice cream... :)
This is the mix we like best but you can change the amounts of milk vs. cream or use half and half, etc...

1 C milk
1/4 - 1/2 C cream
1/4 - 1/2 C vanilla syrup (coffee syrup...you can find it by the coffee)
1 to 1 1/2 C ice

You are probably going to need a good blender. Blend everything :)
We add many different things to this basic recipe...look under frappe to find different flavors

We have been using Monin syrup because it is cheap but also has pure cane sugar instead of other sweeteners and artificial sweeteners ;)

Sweet Lemonade

I have been working on this one for awhile. It is sort of a take on Asian lemonade/drinks I would have in Korea. The basic recipe was given to me by a friend. These amounts are not set in stone...I just finally measured what I was putting in to give approximate amounts...

7 C water
1 C sugar
1/8 C pineapple juice
1/3 C sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 tsp citric acid
1 tsp lemon extract

This is beyond delicious. I put mine in a blender and pulse it two or three times just to get the milk mixed in well...

Eggnog

EGGNOG - non alcoholic, non pudding
*is is hard to find a recipe without alcohol or pudding for eggnog and I rarely have pudding so this is an adaptation from an cooking light alcohol recipe and I think it turned out delicious.  If someone else has one better let me know!!

3 1/2 C milk
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp rum extract

Combine both milks, flour and nutmeg in a saucepan and bring to a boil stirring constantly.  Put the egg yolks in a bowl.  Whisk 1 C of the boiling mixture into the egg yolks gradually.  Add egg yolk mixture into the saucepan and cook for 1-2 more minutes or until slightly thickened.  Remove from heat and add vanilla and rum extract.  Cool in refrigerator for at least 4 hours.  Carefull because this can form a skin on the top while cooling.

Note - first of all I realize that rum and vanilla extract do contain alcohol but...
Also, use the nutmeg and rum extract to taste.  I find that I liked a little more but this is a good jumping point.
