  1. Ahhh, Watergate Salad! This is absolutely delicious and one of my family's favourites. None of the kids (my son, his cousins, etc) like nuts though, so don't be afraid do leave them out. This is excellent without them.
     
  2. Wonderful! My husband is a picky dessert eater and he loved this one! Wish I had found it sooner!!!
     
  3. My mom made this stuff when I was a child also.My mom quit making it and I had forgotten all about it.Thank you!!This stuff is yummy,makes me feel like a kid again.
     
  4. I had to come review this right away! It is amazing with the cream cheese in it! Never made it that way before, and probably will never make it the old way again! I had to make a few tweaks (out of necessity), but it still turned out awesome: First of all, I totally forgot to buy marshmallows at the store! Thought about making a quick trip down the road to get some, but when I tasted it, it was completely delicious without them (thanks to the cream cheese). Didn't add the nuts, only added one box of pudding mix. Also used the "whipped" version of the cream cheese. And, I added pineapple juice until it was to my desired consistency. <br/><br/>One more thing -- I didn't have crushed pineapple, but did have canned pineapple chunks. So, I stuck them in my food processor (we have a Ninja) and did a few small pulses with that, and they turned out just like the crushed.<br/><br/>Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
     
  5. This is a new favorite that I will be making every Holiday. After bringing the cream cheese to room temperature I used a mixer and beat it til smooth, added the pudding and pineapple (20 oz can undrained). After licking the beaters (I was done with them) stirred in the remaining<br/>ingredients. I thought it was better refrigerated overnight, letting the marshmallows absorb<br/>the moisture and making them fluffy. It was light, fluffy and creamy.

I made this account back in 2001, when the site was called "Recipezaar". A lot has changed in my life since then. My kids are all grown and I try to eat a low-carb lifestyle now. Some of my older recipes were handed down from my grandmother. I hope you all enjoy them as much as I have. Current recipes that I post will mostly be low carb or keto.
