As you know, I lead a very simple life and derive a lot of
joy in living from cooking, gardening and consulting with
my children about their problems.

I have discovered the most amazing recipe. It is labor intensive but it is one of the best desserts that I have
ever had. If you make it, follow all the steps because the
buttery crumb crust is wonderful.

2cups all purpose flour
l cup butter Blend with a pastry blender until it makes
a ball and can be patted into a pyrex pan. Let bake at
350 for twenty to thirty minutes. Set aside to cool.

Soften two packages of cream cheese. Add l cup powdered sugar
and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Blend on high with mixer.
Spread on crust.
2 packages of lemon pudding mix prepared as directed and
poured on top of cream cheese layer.


l container of frozen whipped topping or prepare your own
whipped cream.

Spread the cooled crust with the cream cheese mixture. Add
pudding mix that has been cooled. Then top the layers with
Cool Whip or whipping cream and refrigerate.

I cut the recipe in half for Ted and I. We like tart desserts and I made my own lemon pudding and will use real
whipped cream.

It well worth all of the steps. I plan to make it for special company like Laura and Fredo and Mike and for the
family reunion.

Cast your diet aside and enjoy!!!
