Sparkling Jello

Try this for a great treat that is literally zero points. Gabe also loves this so I am willing to bet that so will Hannah and Haley.

Package of your favorite jello
1 Can of Ginger ale pop or just about any soda.

Directions

1. Bring water to a boil package calls for.
2. Pour jello in bowl.
3. Pour boiling water into bowl and stir immediately, till completely
mixed.
4. Add pop for the rest of liquid required. Stir to mix.
5. Refrigerate till solid.


Variations
*You can add any flavors of pop you want. But ginger ale and seltzer
do the best job.
*Adding fruits and candies like gummy worms, will take away from
tasting the bubble
*You can use fruit juices to make your jello.
*To make it more bubbly, use less boiled water, and more pop.
*To make it a jiggler jello, use half of the required liquids."

There are some nifty variations on this trick:

"Cherry Coke Jell-O v2.0

* Small box of Cherry sugar free Jell-O
* 1/2 cup boiling water
* 1/2 cup boiling Coca-Cola
* 1 cup cold Coca-Cola

Mix in the usual way. Beware of the foam; if you let it sit long
enough, the foam will subside.

This alternate recipe uses 4 oz. water and 12 oz. Diet Coca-Cola; in other
words, you can use one standard soda can.

    Mix dressing in small bowl and pour over other ingredients. Mix together and refrigerate at least 2 hours or over night for better flavor.

    I also served up Baked Tortillas Bowls with this and added some shredded lettuce for some amazing salads.

    Baked Tortillas Bowls:

    Take any kind of tortilla (whole wheat are great) low points and very healthy

    Set oven to 450 degrees
    Brush metal bowls or balled up aluminum with olive oil and place face down on baking sheet. Place tortilla over bowls and bake for 10 minutes or until crunchy not burned.
