"From Light & Tasty Prep time does not include chilling time. The recipe in the magazine does not say what size the gelatin envelopes are. I just used what Zaar said is a commen size. If you try to make this and find otherwise before I do please let me know."

I am the mother of two beautiful boys. I love to bake and cook which has helped me to become very overweight. I have lost 50 pounds this past year and have been learning to cook "lighter". We still enjoy many of the same dishes we used to. However, I have learned portion control and how to make suttle changes to my recipes that don't affect the flavor.
