  1. I entered a dessert contest and won lst Place Judges Choice and 1st Place People's Choice. Great Christmas recipe too.
     
  2. Nothing can beat a no-cook dessert like this that still brings smiles and compliments for all! I lightened this up quite a bit by using all fat-free ingredients including the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and Cool Whip and sugar-free pie filling. The pie filling was fat free and so is the angel food cake, so it must be a totally fat-free dessert this way! My glass dish wouldn't quite fit the last layer of Cool Whip, so I just dapped some in the center, using only one 8 oz. tub total. I took it to a girlfriends' lunch and they all loved it.

  3. This is a delicious dessert, and serves a crowd! I made mine in a huge lasagna dish ( 18L X 12W X 3.25H) and it just did fit. I baked an angel food cake to use, as the price difference between the mix and one from the bakery was small; I'm not sure how big a baked angel cake is....There were no 12 oz. whipped topping, so I got and used 2 8 oz., as my dish had a bigger surface area to cover, on top. Everyone loved it, and I can't wait to make it again! Thanks so much for sharing, mary winecoff. This one is going in my keeper file!
     
  4. Very good and easy to make with cans of cherry pie filling. I am sure any flavor pie filling could be used instead.

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies. <a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=rsc002.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/rsc002.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/lucyatpoppys005.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=006.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/006.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=hilfiger001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/hilfiger001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
