The Day After

Today was a pretty good day. I was woke up earlier this morning then usual.

In my Thanksgiving post I mentioned that we had a salad called 7-up Salad. It is a tradition of my sisters. I request for the recipe. It is below. 

7 UP SALAD

[When I put this into Weight Watchers Points Plus recipe builder it equaled 2 points each for 18 servings.]

9 x 13 pan = 18 servings

2 small packages or 1 large package lemon or orange jell-o SUGAR FREE

2 cups boiling water

1 - 12 oz can DIET 7 up [or any Lemon –Lime Soda

1 large can crushed pineapple, Juice pack drained (keep pineapple juice)

5 cups miniature marshmallows

1 large Bananas diced

Dissolve 2 small packages or 1 large package lemon or orange jell-o with 2 cups boiling water.  Add 1 - 12 oz  bottle 7 up, 1 large can crushed pineapple, drained (keep pineapple juice), 5 cups miniature marshmallows  , and 2 large bananas diced.

Refrigerate until firm.

Topping:

1 egg beaten

1/3 cup white sugar

1 cup pineapple juice

Cook above ingredients until thick and then cool. 

Mix 1 pkg. Dream whip according to package directions.

You can use any flavor, but we prefer citrus flavors the best. A Hoff family tradition for 31 years and counting!
