"When I was still a teen ager, I worked for a magazine distributor in Baker, Oregon and one of the office ladies (Lily) shared this recipe with me. I love it, love it, love it. When I make it, I use sugar-free jello and I divide the recipe into six little food saver containers with lids - makes just the right amount to go with lunch or to eat whenever - and it's low calorie! The ingredients are very forgiving - it would sork with cooked chicken, or ham, and you can change the crunchy vegies to suit yourself. My favorite mix is celery, green pepper, dill pickle - along with canned shrimp. Diced cucumber, carrots, radishes would also be very good. The hour "cooking" time is actually cooling time."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a retired grandma who loves to try new recipes. I also want to preserve some of our family's favorite recipes and some of the recipes I inherited from my Mother and Grandmother so my children will have them. I love to cook (but not everyday if I can help it) so I like to cook things that give us left-overs. Also, my hubby takes lunch to work five days a week, so I try to cook things that will heat-up in the microwave at his work. I love to knit, read, bird-watch, tinker in the garden and I am discovering old movies. I am quite fond of cats, and sometimes they appear in my recipes - but not as ingredients :-).<img img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpgsrc=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket>
