I thought those "ladies who lunch" were a little crazy putting carrots and celery in their jello. And calling it a jello "mold" put the final nail in the coffin for me as a kid. Then there was that little dish of mayo and cream "dressing" on the side. . .
But when my daughter was baptized nearly fifty years ago I was very proud to be able to put a lime, pineapple, cottage cheese jello salad on the table. Hard to believe I'd do that to company.
In truth, I'd probably eat a little bowl of it myself, right now but times have changed about what we consider appropriate.
Talking about jello...
You should try to make bundt cakes covered with jello. OMG!! I had them last year in my home country (I guess, they became trendy) and they were very delicious! Going to make some for coming holidays.
Look at those: https://www.google.com/search?q=cake...iw=393&bih=721
It's called mirror glaze. I remember it from my childhood, but I guess, they got forgotten for a long time.

Even though I don't like Jello those cakes look so pretty

Those are really beautiful! If they are making them with something like Knox and natural juices they may also be very tasty.
Remember Jello poke cakes? My kids used to love to help make those.
I remember when my mother was making a pie she always made little cinnamon pies for my brother and I. Some of the leftover crust (home made of course) put in one of those aluminum bowls like pot pies used to come in, then she just put butter, cinnamon and sugar in it and folded the crust over before baking. Loved those things!
One thing about a lot of my mother's recipes is she couldn't really give you a recipe for it. My ex wife and my present wife had both asked my mother for a couple of her recipes and "All I can tell you is I put a dab of butter into a cup or so of flour. I just add flour till it looks like the right amount." lol She made some biscuits she would cut out with a small cookie cutter. My unlce was giving a speech once and told the crowd he had a sister in law who cut her biscuits out with a Coke cap. Anyway, after she died, my wife, sister in law, and 2 daughters in law were all rummaging through all Mama's recipes trying to find the one for her biscuits. Never did!

My mother made biscuits by "feel" without measuring ingredients, either, so I never learned how to do it.
She cut them out with the bottom part of a "tea ball", similar to this one.
My mom used to make City Chicken when I was a kid in the 70s, it was a favourite of mine and was very popular in this part of Ontario and the US Midwest.
I haven't had it in years but my mom used to make those betty Crocker scalloped potatoes in the box. They were so good.
