This is so good and easy. I used to have Eric mix it up for me when he was a teenager. Very good on a hot summer's day.
PINK LEMONADE PIE

1 sm. can (6 oz.) frozen pink lemonade, thawed (can use limeade)
1 sm. container cool whip
1 can condensed milk
Mix together thawed pink lemonade, cool whip, and condensed milk. Beat until smooth and pour into pie shell. Freeze until firm. Garnish with lemon slices.

Memorial Day Weekend 2011

Went ahead and cooked my "big" meal on Saturday so we could have leftovers all weekend. Baked ham, green lima beans with ham hocks, and Au Gratin Potatoes. Going to add Angel eggs to the mix tomorrow. Here's the taters I made. Nothing is exact, so just give them a try and add or leave out.
6 med potatoes
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1 cup shredded sharp cheese
1 cup Italian 3 cheese blend
1 onion diced and 2 green onions (more green the next time I make them)
2 T garlic flavor cooking cream (Philly)or add some garlic powder to the cheese soup.
Milk
Peel and boil potatoes until almost done. Cook diced onion in butter. Cool potatoes and carefully slice half of them. Layer in baking dish that has been sprayed with Pam. Spread ½ the onion over and ½ the shredded chedder and 3 cheese blend. Slice and layer remainder of potatoes top with onions, and shredded cheeses. Warm the cheese soup and cooking cream adding some milk until its “pourable”, and pour over. Bake at 350 for 1 hour until potatoes are done completely. Can easily be doubled for a pot luck. Diced ham or fried bacon can be added for a complete meal.
