What is a healthy way to cook squash? Blackberry recipe?
I have yellow squash and I also have the round spaceship looking squash.What are some heathy ways to cook it? I know steaming and baking. What seasonings and stuff can I put on it to make it taste good while keeping it lowfat and healthy? I also have a lot of blackberrys. What is a healthy way to fix those? Thanks for any answers.What is a healthy way to cook squash? Blackberry recipe?
I really like banana squash. It is hard to peel if you boil it, but you can just remove the seeds and put in the oven and bake. After it's cooked, it's easy to remove the pulp from the skin. I like to put it in a food processor with a little butter, orange juice, and brown sugar. Yes, it looks like baby food, but don't judge until you've tasted it.
Danish (or acorn, same thing) is the easiest. Cut through the middle from stem end to tip end. remove the seeds from each half, add a little butter and salt, and bake. (350 F for an hour) Serve one half to each person. They can spoon out the pulp, and eat.
I can't help you with blackberries. I visualize a jam or pancake syrup, but I have no experience making anything like that. Try a Google. Wish I could help more on this one.What is a healthy way to cook squash? Blackberry recipe?
squash answer - depends on seasonings for what you are making it with. Yellow is good cut up smaller and used in a stir fry so whatever you are seasoning your stirfry with. Also great in pastas. The acorn squash is the other and it tastes good with a little salt. Simple. Cut in half and bake.
Blackberries, I would say allrecipes.com and get some low fat recipes.
Good luck and squash is the BEST. Butternut is the best ever with a little brown sugar AND salt. Sounds weird but it's not.
I love grilling yellow squash (and zucchini) just sprayed with I Can't Believe It's Not Buttery spray (no fat) and sprinkled with Cavender's Greek seasoning. Just cut in halves or medallions and season the cut sides. They only take a few minutes on the grill, and they are also good added to kebabs. Don't know about 'spaceship' squash...
My favorite blackberry dish is cobbler, but that would not be healthy. Fresh berries on yogurt is a favorite of mine.
Slice the squash or zuccini, put it in a saute pan with a healthy amount of balsamic vinagrette dressing. Saute till they start to change color and get soft.
Healthier way: Use low fat balsamic.
PS anyway you cook squash, requires oil so it doesn't dry out.
This was a huge hit at a party I went to, and my friend is a high end cook at a private gold club. They are both sitting here. The cook also suggests small pieces of garlic shalots while cooking with the balsamic.
I want some when you are done. LOL
Cook there squash with a little onion and add a little butter spray when you eat it.
Blackberries are great fresh with a little cream or put in muffins. Since you want to keep it healthy, put them in bran muffins or use whole wheat flour. Use applesauce instead of oil to the batter.
Yellow Squash Casserole
1 3/4 pounds crookneck yellow squash or other yellow summer squash
1/4 pound zucchini or additional yellow summer squash
1/2 cup coarse-chopped carrots
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 large onion, preferably yellow, chopped
1 plump garlic clove, minced
1 1/4 cups saltine or Ritz cracker crumbs
1/2 cup grated mild to medium Cheddar cheese
Hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
Salt and freshly milled black pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a medium baking dish.
Slice the yellow squash and zucchini lengthwise into quarters, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Place the yellow squash, zucchini and carrots in a saucepan, barely cover with water and salt well. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium and cover. Cook about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are very soft.
Meanwhile, warm 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the onion and cook slowly until very soft and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional minute. Scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl. Wipe out the skillet, return it to medium-low heat, and add to it the remaining tablespoon of butter. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs and cook briefly until the crumbs are golden. Scrape them onto a small plate and reserve them.
Drain the squash mixture, mashing the vegetables just a bit. Spoon it into the mixing bowl. Stir in the remaining 3/4 cup of cracker crumbs, cheese and a good splash or two of the pepper sauce. Salt and pepper generously to taste. Stir in the eggs and spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Scatter the toasted cracker crumbs over the top. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes, until golden brown and lightly firm in the center. Serve hot.

Fresh Blackberry Tart
For Sweet Almond Pastry Crust:
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup finely ground almonds
1 heaping tablespoon brown sugar
Pinch salt
1/2 pound cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
5 to 6 tablespoons ice water
bag of dried beans
For Tart Filling:
3 pints blackberries
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, small cubes
Juice 3 lemons
1 tablespoon finely chopped lemon zest
1 tablespoon brown sugar
For Crust: In large mixing bowl, mix the flour, ground almonds, brown sugar and salt together. Rub the butter pieces into the flour mixture. Add the ice water and gently knead until dough comes together. Wrap in plastic and form in flat disc about 1-inch thick. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Sprinkle flour on the countertop and roll out the dough to an even thickness, round shape. Place dough round in a 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Fold any edges inside, forming a thicker crust. Leave the dough a bit longer than the edges of the tart pan to allow for shrinking during cooking. Line the inside of the crust with parchment paper or foil. Pour in the beans, filling to the edges. Bake about 20 minutes, or until bottom begins to look cooked. Let cool. Remove the beans and foil.
For Tart: Toss the berries with the flour, salt, sugar, butter, and lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir in the brown sugar. Place the fruit in a saute pan over medium heat and cook just until a sauce is formed. Place the fruit in the baked crust and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the fruit bubbles and juice thickens.
Remove from oven and cool for 2 hours before slicing.

Fruit salads are almost never cooked.
Yes, lemon juice is the trick, but only necessary for those fruits susceptible to browning, namely bananas, pears and apples. Citrus fruits, grapes, peaches, nectarines, kiwi fruit, apricots are no problem.
Fruit salad doesn't need a dressing, but if you like it sweeter you can add either heavy cream mixed with a bit of sugar, to taste. If you whip the cream and add fold it in with some chopped nuts, too, you have a waldorf salad.Can someone recommend a yummy ';no-cook'; fruit salad recipe?

Can someone give me an AUTHENTIC Italian recipe? Italian cooks?
I know I can do online research but I am looking for something very authentic.....maybe the kind that only someone living in Italy or that has a lot of experience with Italian cooking would know. Thanks so much!Can someone give me an AUTHENTIC Italian recipe? Italian cooks?
Mia Nona came from Italy. Sicily precisely. This is one big tradition there:
Sicilian Grilled Meatballs, or Polpettine alla Griglia: One usually thinks of meatballs going into a sauce of some kind, or being fried to golden perfection. However, Sicilians also grill them, and very fine eating it is, too.
2 1/4 pounds (1 k) boned veal or pork, ground.
5 ounces (125 g) pecorino Siciliano (if possible the variety with pepper corns in it, if not a mild Romano), freshly gra
1 cup bread crumbs, moistened in milk and then squeezed dry
3 eggs
2 tablespoons minced parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt %26amp; pepper
Organically grown lemon or orange leaves, lightly oiled
Wooden toothpicks
Combine all the ingredients except the leaves in a bowl and mix well. Roll the meat mixture into balls a little smaller than a ping pong ball, flatten them slightly, wrap a leaf around each, and hold the leaf in place by sticking it with a toothpick. When you have finished making your meatballs, grill them to taste.
And my favorite dessert:
Ricotta Crostata - Ricotta Pie
Pastry
Ingredients
150 grams butter
30 grams icing sugar
100 grams flour
grated rind of one lemon
Method
Leave butter out to soften (overnight in winter or a few hours in summer) so it can be worked easily into the flour.
Put flour onto board and grate the rind into the flour. Mix the flour, icing sugar, grate in rind and then work in the softened butter The dough will be very short and crumbly. You do not get a smooth fine dough, it is a biscuit texture which is then sprinkled into the pan and pressed down and around the sides.
Use spring form pan, 25 cm, well greased. Press well into the pan and take it half way up. Make sure the sides and the base of the pan are well covered so there is no leakage..
Do not pre-cook the pastry.
Filling
Ingredients
1 1/2 kg ricotta
Icing sugar
3 eggs seperated
sugar
milk
80 grams candied fruit diced (mixed fig, apricot,, citrus, mandarin/orange)
50 grams toasted almonds, chopped
Method
Make pastry cream as per strudel method.
Combine ricotta with icing sugar, pastry cream, candied fruit (candita) , almonds (Some people also add a yolk but the pastry cream in enough)
Beat egg whites stiffly in a bowl which has first been wiped with a tiny bit of lemon juice and then dried.. This stops the white seperating and helps make them stiff.
When stiff fold through the ricotta mixture. If your eggs are big you may find that you don’t need to use all the egg white.
Set oven at 250 degree C
Spoon ricotta mixture into crostada and gently spread out. Don't put up too high, keep within the pastry
This can be done in a tart form but then the taste is different. In the high pan it's more filling to crust which is the way the pie should be.Can someone give me an AUTHENTIC Italian recipe? Italian cooks?
FAGIOLI ALL’ UCCELLETTO
sautéed beans with sage
“Beans in the style of little birds” is the meaning of the name of this recipe, which derives its title from a preparation for game using similar ingredients.
1/2 lb (225 gr) dry cannellini beans
4–5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed whole
5–6 sage leaves
salt and pepper
4 oz (115 gr) fresh ripe tomatoes, peeled and diced
Clean and wash the beans the night before, place them in a container, and cover with fresh water. Leave the beans to soak in the water overnight.
Drain the beans the next day, when you are ready to cook.
Put the beans in a stockpot full of water, and boil for about 20 minutes, or until the beans are tender. In a skillet, pour the extra-virgin olive oil, and turn the heat to medium. Add garlic and sage, and sauté until the garlic starts coloring to a very pale brown. Add the beans, salt, and pepper. Sauté over low heat for about 2–3 minutes. Add the tomatoes. Cook uncovered over low heat for about 20 minutes or until the beans are tender and the sauce thicker. Stir occasionally, adding a small quantity of water if the beans become too dry.

my favorite aunthentic italian recipe is ';pollo al forno';
Oven-baked chicken will never beat the road-side rotisserie stands that you find throughout souhtern Italy with their wood fires and smoke flavoring of the bird, but this recipe will definitely remind you of those good times you remember while you were living there.
Ingredients for preparation of 1 chicken:
Chicken 1(pick a good sized one)
Olive oil as needed
Rosemary as needed
Lemon juice or white wine as needed
Salt and pepper to taste
How to do it:
Preheat your oven to 375F. (If you have a rotisserie oven you're just that much farther ahead of the game)
Wash the bird thoroughly and dry it with paper toweling.
Take a half cup of olive oil and squeeze the juice of a whole lemon into it.
Pour most of the oil and lemon over the bird and rub it around with your hand so that the chicken is completely covered.
shake some salt, pepper, and rosemary into the body cavity of the bird.
Shake some rosemary, pepper, and a generous amount of salt on the outside of the chicken. (Don't go nuts with salt)
Put the bird in a shallow baking dish or on the rotisserie and bake uncovered for 2 hours (That's right two hours) (If you're using the rotisserie the chicken may start to fall apart before the two hours are up. Just use some common sense) Baste frequently (at first with the remaining oil and lemon, then with the juice that comes from the bird).
Tastes great with tossed salad or potatoes or whatever. If you're doing 100% Italian check some of my other recipes for other course suggestions.
ENJOY!

WARNING: DELICIOUS
Mia Nona came from Italy. Sicily precisely. This is one big tradition there:
Sicilian Grilled Meatballs, or Polpettine alla Griglia: One usually thinks of meatballs going into a sauce of some kind, or being fried to golden perfection. However, Sicilians also grill them, and very fine eating it is, too.
2 1/4 pounds (1 k) boned veal or pork, ground.
5 ounces (125 g) pecorino Siciliano (if possible the variety with pepper corns in it, if not a mild Romano), freshly gra
1 cup bread crumbs, moistened in milk and then squeezed dry
3 eggs
2 tablespoons minced parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt %26amp; pepper
Organically grown lemon or orange leaves, lightly oiled
Wooden toothpicks
Combine all the ingredients except the leaves in a bowl and mix well. Roll the meat mixture into balls a little smaller than a ping pong ball, flatten them slightly, wrap a leaf around each, and hold the leaf in place by sticking it with a toothpick. When you have finished making your meatballs, grill them to taste.
And my favorite dessert:
Ricotta Crostata - Ricotta Pie
Pastry
Ingredients
150 grams butter
30 grams icing sugar
100 grams flour
grated rind of one lemon
Method
Leave butter out to soften (overnight in winter or a few hours in summer) so it can be worked easily into the flour.
Put flour onto board and grate the rind into the flour. Mix the flour, icing sugar, grate in rind and then work in the softened butter The dough will be very short and crumbly. You do not get a smooth fine dough, it is a biscuit texture which is then sprinkled into the pan and pressed down and around the sides.
Use spring form pan, 25 cm, well greased. Press well into the pan and take it half way up. Make sure the sides and the base of the pan are well covered so there is no leakage..
Do not pre-cook the pastry.
Filling
Ingredients
1 1/2 kg ricotta
Icing sugar
3 eggs seperated
sugar
milk
80 grams candied fruit diced (mixed fig, apricot,, citrus, mandarin/orange)
50 grams toasted almonds, chopped
Method

Untidy Sameuls
Probably more widely known as Sloppy Joes, these can be made with ground beef or ground turkey. This homemade version is light years ahead of anything you can buy in an envelope or can, and really just as easy. I like to serve these with paper-thin slices of red onion.
Ingredients
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 lb. ground beef or ground turkey
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and chopped fine
1/2 cup best-quality ketchup
1/2 cup best-quality chili sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon coarse salt
freshly cracked black pepper
1/3 cup water
6 sesame seed topped hamburger buns, warmed
Method
Brush a skillet with oil and warm over moderate heat, 30 seconds. Add beef [or turkey] and onion and sauté 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add all remaining ingredients [except buns] and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Spoon mixture between split buns and serve immediately.
Try this stuffed French toast for breakfast some time:
Slice a loaf of French bread into 3 inch slices. Cut a ';pocket'; in each slice, about 3/4 of the way to the other side. Stuff with your favorite meat (chopped ham, bacon slices, sausage crumbles or patties) and some cheese (swiss, shredded cheddar, or muenster).
Beat an egg or two in a shallow dish, and dip each sandwich in it, on both sides, then fry them in a hot skillet just like french toast.
You can have them for lunch, too, just stuff them with whatever they like. We've even made them sweet, with blueberry pie filling and a cube of cream cheese. Encourage them to be creative!
something easy is cookies just buy some box of cookies that you can make you self all it needs is eggs and a couple other stuff it tells you on the box..or you can make rice crispy treats..if you have rice crispy it tells you a recipe on the back to make them..or you can try a drink let them make smoothies or something like that good luck!!

Here's an easy microwave recipe for a dessert...
http://www.chex.com/recipes/RecipeView.a…
And it's sooo good! You'll be hooked :)
experiment. whats the fun of a recipe? i never use those. lol im 13 and love to cook as well.
Here are a few E-Z recipes you might want to try. Good Luck %26amp; enjoy.
COLA CHICKEN
(My preference…wings or ribs)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup catsup
1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)
Put chicken in a non-stick pan.
Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.
Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce
becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!
You can double the recipe and use more pieces of
chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot sauce....presto ';Hot Wings';!
I have used Ribs, just as good.
I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).
CRUNCHY ONION CHICKEN
1 1/3 cups French’s Original French Fried Onions
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 egg, beaten
LIGHTLY CRUSH: Onions in a plastic bag.
DIP: Chicken in egg (put egg in plastic bag)
COVER: With onion crumbs, press firmly to adhere to chicken.
BAKE: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken on lightly greased baking pan. Sprinkle with additional onion crumbs, if desired. Bake for 20 minutes or until no longer pink in center.
';Corny Beanie Weenies.';
1 can baked beans (14-16 ounces with brown sugar, onion, and bacon).
1 package Weiners (all sliced up).
1 can of whole kernel corn (drained)
Heat and serve.
Hint :
1.)Might put ingredients in a casserole dish and top with corn muffin mix.
2.)Substitute a pound of cooked ground beef….gr.turkey…smkd. sausage…rename
POT ROAST
Your choice of beef (to fit crock-pot)
1 pkg. dry Ranch dressing mix
1 pkg. dry Italian dressing mix
1 pkg. dry Brown Gravy mix
1 cup water
Put beef in pot.
Mix together all the dry mixes….then add water …pour over meat and cover %26amp; cook on high 4-6 hours. Until meat is tender. The first time I mad it I didn’t have the Italian Dressing mix….so I added a pkg. of Onion Soup Mix….I have to say I liked that better. If you use more water you might want to add more Brown Gravy mix….to make a thicker sauce. Was gonna add potatoes and carrots…but never got around to it.
E-Z Potato Soup
(2 – 4 servings)
1 (14 ½ oz.) can of diced potatoes
1 can of cream of celery soup
¼ cup ‘real’ bacon bits (more if you like)
milk (use soup can to measure milk)
¼ - ½ stick of margarine (optional)
Pour potatoes – liquid an all into medium sauce pan.
Pour celery soup into a bowl and add a soup can full of milk and mix together, pour over potatoes and stir.
Stir in bacon bits cook over medium heat until hot, turn off stove add margarine and stir until melted, serve,
We were given a quart of Half %26amp; Half and I used some of this in my soup. You could use evaporated milk, too. Or some Fat Free milk. Your preference.
I did not add any margarine. (Second time I made it…I added ½ stick of margine)
I suppose if you want to add a little “BAM” to it, add some hot sauce. Maybe sprinkle some grated cheese to serve.
Kreamy Kool-Aid Pie
1-(6 g) package un sweetened Kool-Aid powdered drink mix
1-(14 oz.)can sweetened condensed milk
1-(8 oz)container Cool Whip frozen whipped topping, thawed.
1-(9 inch) Graham Cracker Pie Crust (or Cookie crust)
Cool Whip for top (optional)
1. In a medium bowl mix Kool-Aid and condensed milk, thoroughly.
2. Fold in Cool Whip.
4. If desired, spread more Cool Whip on top.
5. Chill for a minimum of 4 hours.
I’ve used: Strawberry…Cherry…Lemon-lime (Key-Lime Pie)….Lemonade (Lemon Pie…might add some yellow food coloring for a more lemony look.)
E-Z Cake Recipes
NO EGGS,NO OIL ,NO WATER .......JUST SODA AND MIX.
CHOCOLATE CAKE MIX.......CHERRY SODA (BLACK FOREST)
ORANGE CAKE MIX….ORANGE SODA
PINEAPPLE MIX….PINEAPPLE SODA
SPICE MIX…..ROOT BEER SODA
POUR CAKE MIX IN BOWL
ADD SODA USE LOAF CAKE PAN
BAKE 350 DEGREES AS BOX SAYS.(P.S.PREPARE PAN WITH SPRAY)
Your choice of frostings or use cool whip.
Banana Pudding
I usually double the recipe....never any left-overs.
Ingredients:
Bananas
Use instant Banana pudding or vanilla pudding fix by directions on box.
Cool Whip...add to pudding mix thoroughly.
Vanilla wafers
Toasted coconut.
Line serving dish with a layer of vanilla wafers (a row up the sides of dish, also.) Add a layer of sliced of bananas
Gently cover with a layer of 1/2 pudding mixture. Make a second layer of wafers, bananas %26amp; pudding.
Top with some toasted coconut and/or crushed vanilla wafers.

http://www.chex.com/recipes/RecipeView.a…
And it's sooo good! You'll be hooked :)
experiment. whats the fun of a recipe? i never use those. lol im 13 and love to cook as well.
Here are a few E-Z recipes you might want to try. Good Luck %26amp; enjoy.
COLA CHICKEN
(My preference…wings or ribs)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup catsup
1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)
Put chicken in a non-stick pan.
Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.
Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce
becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!
You can double the recipe and use more pieces of
chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot sauce....presto ';Hot Wings';!
I have used Ribs, just as good.
I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).
CRUNCHY ONION CHICKEN
1 1/3 cups French’s Original French Fried Onions
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 egg, beaten
LIGHTLY CRUSH: Onions in a plastic bag.
DIP: Chicken in egg (put egg in plastic bag)
COVER: With onion crumbs, press firmly to adhere to chicken.
BAKE: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken on lightly greased baking pan. Sprinkle with additional onion crumbs, if desired. Bake for 20 minutes or until no longer pink in center.
';Corny Beanie Weenies.';
1 can baked beans (14-16 ounces with brown sugar, onion, and bacon).
1 package Weiners (all sliced up).
1 can of whole kernel corn (drained)
Heat and serve.
Hint :
1.)Might put ingredients in a casserole dish and top with corn muffin mix.
2.)Substitute a pound of cooked ground beef….gr.turkey…smkd. sausage…rename
POT ROAST
Your choice of beef (to fit crock-pot)
1 pkg. dry Ranch dressing mix
1 pkg. dry Italian dressing mix
1 pkg. dry Brown Gravy mix
1 cup water
Put beef in pot.
Mix together all the dry mixes….then add water …pour over meat and cover %26amp; cook on high 4-6 hours. Until meat is tender. The first time I mad it I didn’t have the Italian Dressing mix….so I added a pkg. of Onion Soup Mix….I have to say I liked that better. If you use more water you might want to add more Brown Gravy mix….to make a thicker sauce. Was gonna add potatoes and carrots…but never got around to it.
E-Z Potato Soup
(2 – 4 servings)
1 (14 ½ oz.) can of diced potatoes
1 can of cream of celery soup
¼ cup ‘real’ bacon bits (more if you like)
milk (use soup can to measure milk)
¼ - ½ stick of margarine (optional)
Pour potatoes – liquid an all into medium sauce pan.
Pour celery soup into a bowl and add a soup can full of milk and mix together, pour over potatoes and stir.
Stir in bacon bits cook over medium heat until hot, turn off stove add margarine and stir until melted, serve,
We were given a quart of Half %26amp; Half and I used some of this in my soup. You could use evaporated milk, too. Or some Fat Free milk. Your preference.
I did not add any margarine. (Second time I made it…I added ½ stick of margine)
I suppose if you want to add a little “BAM” to it, add some hot sauce. Maybe sprinkle some grated cheese to serve.
Kreamy Kool-Aid Pie
1-(6 g) package un sweetened Kool-Aid powdered drink mix
1-(14 oz.)can sweetened condensed milk
1-(8 oz)container Cool Whip frozen whipped topping, thawed.

1. In a medium bowl mix Kool-Aid and condensed milk, thoroughly.
2. Fold in Cool Whip.
4. If desired, spread more Cool Whip on top.
5. Chill for a minimum of 4 hours.
I’ve used: Strawberry…Cherry…Lemon-lime (Key-Lime Pie)….Lemonade (Lemon Pie…might add some yellow food coloring for a more lemony look.)
