More Summer Goodness in a Bowl

Saturdaystirrings

TO ENTER THE GREAT MOVIE GIVEAWAY ... JUST SCROLL DOWN WHEN YOU'RE DONE!

You've come to expect easy, cheap and yummy from me .... and I appreciate it. Of course, growing up I would be appalled if I was known for being easy and cheap, but ...

Anyway.

Today, I bring you another wonderful hand-me-down recipe from Aunt Sandy. Anyone here notice a trend?
She taught me this recipe when I was about 15, and then passed the torch to Kati this past October when she was 14.

Ah, the legacy we leave for our children.

So, gather up the supplies and prepared to fall in love with ..

(drum roll please, and abit of trumpetal fanfare  wouldn't hurt either)

Aunt Sandy's Pink Lady Salad

1 lrg Cool Whip, softened abit (We love it with Extra Creamy, but Low Fat if awesome as well)
1 lrg and 1 small Cottage Cheese (your choosing)
1 large or 2 small Peach Jello (really any fruit flavor will do)
1 can Sliced Peaches, drained oh so well and cut up (If you use strawberry jello- tr strawberries or bananas)

Grab a bowl, and add the Cool Whip and whip it a bit with a fork to smooth the consistency.

Add the Jello powder right out of the packet(s) and give it a good stir to mix it up.

Add the cottage cheese, again giving a good stir to mix.

Finally fold in the fruit of your choosing. Always drain, drain, drain any canned fruit so it doesn't get all soupy.

I've added chopped nuts, but they tend to get soft and mushy. YOu can serve them on the side and add at the time of serving.

Chill for an hour or so to set up and Voila!

Another easy summer salad.

This sounds like wonderful comfort food to me. And pink. While not a Strawberry Margarita, still delightful!

this sounds good to me.
