Hey Amy!

This week is my mother’s week.  I am deeming it so because it’s her birthday on Wednesday.  So as a tribute to Patsy Ann, I am going to share the recipes she has given to me through the years.  Some of my favorites I have already posted throughout the last year but there are a few yet to make their way here.  She always says she is no good at cooking and doesn’t even really care about it but when she does prepare a meal, we are never disappointed!  I know the gene didn’t skip from Nany to me.  She certainly has it.

First up is Lemon Lush.  It’s a must have for anyone who loves a light, citrus dessert.

Ingredients:

1 stick butter
1 c. flour
1 8-oz. cream cheese
1 c. confectioners sugar (10x)
1 c. Cool Whip
3 c. milk
2 3-oz. packages instant lemon pudding

Preheat oven to 350.  Combine butter and flour and press in 9 x 11 baking dish to form a crust on the bottom only.  Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.  Remove from oven and cool.

Meanwhile, beat together well the cream cheese, sugar and Cool Whip.  Spread onto the crust.  Next combine milk and pudding and beat well until smooth.  Spread onto cream cheese layer.  Finally, top with remaining Cool Whip.   Chill for a bit and serve.

Mom used to make this for us all the time when we were young.  We haven’t had it for a while so perhaps after reading this she will take the hint?
