Uh... That one made me want to hurl! I did do Jell-O with chopped raw
veggies in it while pregnant but I can't remember why now. Must have been
some reason. I do remember having a couple of trays of little cups in the
fridge. One was the Jell-O and the other was a combination of Jell-O,
Jell-O pudding and assorted berries that had been cooked in the stuff. I
know that doing the berries like that was an attempt to get me to eat them.
Because I don't really like fruit. And I didn't really like those either.
So I didn't make those for long. And I eventually gave up on eating the
fruit. Didn't seem to have affected Angela any. Dietician said she would
suffer if I didn't eat 5 pieces of fruit daily. Most days I did manage to
eat one. Or at least part of one.

Do they even make onion juice any more? And what would you use it for?
Aside from this recipe that is...
