Answer 2

I have the perfect thing! I know that this sounds kinda weird, but its great and colorful , and you can even take it in the car!

Okay you chould be able to find jell-o molds that are shaped like easter egg, its the same shape as an egg and the mold is kinda like an ice cube tray with a top and a bottom, get diffrent colors of jell-o like green, purple, yellow, orange you know spring colors and then make them individualy and put them into the mold(the mold should be able to make about 12 eggs at a time) you should put maybe like different colors in one batch. Then let it refregerate you should follow the jigglers recipe on the box. At your grandparents house you could make it there if you have 2 or 3 hours before you actually have dinner, that way you wont have to worry about the car. Just dont forget the jello mix and mold!

HAPPY EASTER!

Answer 3

Simple Apple Pie

7 large mackintosh apples
4 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons + 1/4 cup brown sugar
Store bought graham cracker crust

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Peel the apples and thinly slice by hand or with a mandolin. Place a large saucepan over medium heat and add butter. Add apple slices and let cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.. Add the two teaspoons of brown sugar. Turn off the heat but keep the pan on the burner. Stir and place into the pie crust. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup brown sugar on top of the apples and bake for 10 minutes.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

A good Easter or Springtime one is Lime Jello with Chopped Pineapple and Cottage Cheese mixed in it. Take a can of Whip Cream to Spray on top. Very light and tasty!

Answer 5

Banana Pudding!

Its awesome and so easy to make.

1 Box of Nilla Wafers
4-5 Bananas (more or less if you like or dont really like bananas)
Milk
Sugar
1 container of whipped topping

Pre-heat Oven to 350
In a glass pan (see through is best) place one layer of Wafers
crumble a handful and sprinkle over the layer (so it gets in the empty spaces)
Add a layer of bananas
Continue until you run out, or its as big as you can get it.
In a cup add about a cup and a half, maybe two cups of Milk.
Add sugar until the milk is sweet enough for you (some people like it sweeter some people not so sweet)
Pour milk over layers of bananas and wafers.
(I like to tilt the pan around until I feel that the wafers have soaked up a good amount of milk)
Place in oven for 20-25 Mins

Remove from oven and place into fridge. When cool (it wont be very hot when it comes out the oven) add whipped topping and either serve or put back into the fridge until ready to serve.

Cheesecake

This will work if you can use your grandmas stove top and a sauce pan for about 15 minutes.

1 Angel food bundt cake or small sponge cake cups
fresh peaches (1 per person)
1 scoop French Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
2 oz. Ameretto DiSaranno
1 tblsp butter
1 tblsp ground cinnamon


Before you go,
peel and slice peaches, put in covered bowl or large zip lock bag with 2 tblsp brown sugar for each peach. add cinnamon,let soak.
Over night in fridge is best

At grandmas, melt butter in large pan, add peaches and sautee until edge of slice starts to carmelize. Pour on Ameretto.

Put scoop of ice cream in sponge cake cup or on slice of angel-food cake, add peaches.

Whipped topping optional.

add variety as your taste dictates, ie:shredded coconut, crushed nuts, ginger snap pieces, cinammon crisp crumbs, crushed cereals.so many things to try
