This week has already been quite busy and it's only Tuesday! My sister, Diana, is in from North Carolina (see her blog at www.logcabinlife@blogspot.com) so I'm trying to fit in visits with her while juggling mom and work duties. My 10-year old son's social life keeps me hopping. Today, he went with some dear friends to a nearby Theme Park. When he got home, we fed him a quick supper (thank you Walmart Rotisserie chicken) and then I drove 30 minutes to take him to spend the night with his aunt. He is excited because they will be building a 942 piece mega blocks creation. He believes it will keep him and Aunt Diana during the day tomorrow. I certainly hope it does!
Even though I believe home cooking is the best, there are those nights that a Walmart Rotisserie chicken just can't be beat. Especially in Florida in the summer....Let somebody else heat up their kitchen! One of my favorite comfort foods requires absolutely no cooking --- and frankly, just cools me off in the summer heat. My mom used to make this for special occasions when I was a child. I just make it routinely and hope I won't have to share! It goes really well with Rotisserie chicken, or just about anything. I think it makes a great workday lunch...but then again, I think I'd eat it for any meal. I make mine with no added sugar, but you can make it the full sugar variety, too.
Sunshine Salad (no added sugar)
1-24 oz container low fat cottage cheese
1 - 8 oz container sugar free cool whip (thawed)
1 - 3 oz package sugar free orange jello
1 small can crushed pineapple (in its own juices)/well-drained
2 cans mandarin oranges/well-drained
Put all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Stir it until it is a lovely light orange color. Place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour. Enjoy. Whew! That was so hard. Be careful who you let taste this amazing concoction or else it will go much faster than you intended!
