Lime Jello Salad with Nuts
"This is my moms recipe, i don't really know where she got it but I have always liked it. I find that I can substitute low fat evaporated milk and low-fat cottage cheese and use sugar free Jello and sugar free pineapple to make this fit into my diabetic diet plan better."

The perfect lime Jello salad! I grew up on a basic cottage cheese/lime Jello salad, but when I recently made it it was not as creamy as I remembered. The evaporated milk (used fat free) was the ingred. that made this recipe stand out. This way the entire Jello is creamy and doesn't just float to the top. Thanks so much Bunlady, for posting a new recipe for a childhood favorite! Roxygirl -
This is the recipe my sister used to make years ago. I could never find it. Thanks so much. It's great -
It doesn't get any better than this...easy and simple to prepare. This looks so pretty on the table and can be used as a side dish for just about any meal...or you can use it as a desset. Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe, Bunlady!!!

<br>i live in Warren, Ohio and work for a regional bakery as thier Thrift store manager, that explains the nickname Bunlady. I enjoy cooking and baking and love to read cookbooks and to collect them. I have quite a few cookbooks but I'm always on the lookout for more. I especially enjoy the ones put out by church groups or organizations where they submit thier favorite recipe. I have quite a few like that and I am trying to collect them from all over the country. I am not much for seafood but I will try new things and want to learn to eat different cuisines by trying to make different dishes and have found Zaar to be a great resource for recipes from all over the world. I also want to get into baking bread and experiment with making cakes and learning to decorate them.
<br>
<br>Well this is my second year on Zaar and I look forward to finding even more delicious recipes to try. I still have tons of recipes that I want to share but I don't seem to have enough time to post them. I did visit the Men's forum awhile back and thought that was great that they found a home all there own. I do feel that some of the best chefs are still men. I know ladies I'm being a trader to my own gender, but I do like to hear thier perspective on things. I love to make soups and have saved so many soup recipes I don't think I will ever be able to make them all but would love to try.
<br>
<br>My greatest dream would be to travel around the country and try all different types of foods and meet new people and learn how they make thier regional cuisines. I hope when i retire I will be able to make this dream come true.
<br>
<br>Right now in my life I am extrememly busy, I am my mom's primary caregiver and spend alot of time with her every evening after work. I cook for her and she isn't much for trying new things anymore but I still try to sneak in a new recipe now and then. I also volunteer to cook at my local Moose Lodge which I really enjoy as I truly love to have someone to cook for. I have worked in a couple of small restaurants and done some short order cooking in the past and if I could make a living doing this I would still be there. I have always dreamed of owning my own restaurant, but most cooks do, I am currently having a lot of back problems and wouldn't be able to handle it anymore. So now I cook for anyone who wants to eat. If their hungry I want to feed them. I don't think you can ever learn everything there is to know about cooking and thats what appeals to me, the fact that it is a constant learning experience. I always can pick up a new recipe from someone I meet , a magazine, cookbook, or from TV and I will never live long enough to try all of them.
