This recipe is a regular feature on the menu rotation in the assisted living facility for the elderly where I work. Golden Agers can be so fussy and picky about their meals(partly because they have given up so much control over their lives just to live in a facility like this one--JMHO)but this is always a favorite---even the ladies who normally do not eat dessert(watching their figures, you know)have to have "just a little piece"! Many of our residents have asked for the recipe to give to family members. I've also taken this to several potlucks and come home with an empty serving dish! Thanks Darlene--this is a big winner!

this was so not good. it tasted super cheap and like something you would throw together. what is the point of the oleo, with the cool whip and crea cheese etc, just use plain butter, jeez

I would like to let you all know that I am no longer able to review your recipes that I have tried. since they changed the site around webtv does not supprt zaars new site.I have a webtv not a computer and webtv does not support the new recipezaar site. so I will no longer be able to review your great recipes,nor will I be able to put my own recipes on here.Please don't think I wouldn't like to review your recipes,it was one of the nice parts of zaar that I did enjoy doing. So please forgive!!! I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6 grand and glorious grandchildren. I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby. My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands. He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
