Ooooh, I

lemon! Recipe please

This reminds me of a pie we have in E Pa called "lush lemon". I wish I could get hold of the recipe, but it's a secret recipe

Jen

Hey guess what? I'm from PA...I'll email my grandma and get her lemon lush recipe and post it here.

HI! What part of Pa. are you from? I'm from the Lancaster area. I just LOVE Country Table in Mt Joy's lush lemon pie

I used to work there, but the recipe was "carefully guarded".

I'm from up in Mckean County, so a few hours from you.

I've actually never eaten my grandma's lemon lush...I'm more of a chocolate person. I just now noticed the pie part of your post...this recipe is made in a 13x9 inch pan, although it could still be the same thing. This is copy and paste directly from Grandma's email so anything that says "I" is her talking.

Use a 13x9 inch pan.
1st layer: Blend 1 cup of flour and 1/2 cup margarine like you are making pie crust. Add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (can leave out). Press evenly in dish. Bake at 350degrees for 20 minutes. COOL WELL.
2nd layer: Cream 1 (8oz) pkg of cream cheese; add 1 cup powdered sugar (confectionery sugar) and mix well; blend in 2 cups cool whip. (I use 1 9oz container)Spread over 1st layer.
3rd layer: Mix 2 small packages of instant lemon pie filling according to directions with 3 cups milk. (Don't use anything less than 2 %, I like whole other wise it won't set up right.) Spread over second layer.
4th layer: Top with cool whip. (I use another 9 oz container of cool whip for this too) Refrigerate and enjoy.
I especially like the chocolate peanut butter one too. Just add chopped peanuts to the crust and use chocolate pudding in place of the lemon and mix in 1/2 cup peanut butter with the cream cheese (layer 2).

You're not going to the BYC California Chicken Stock? It's June 5th. If that is the weekend you are heading up then we're out of luck. DH and I will be there at the chicken stock. If you're coming earlier or staying later then feel free! I'd love to chat with someone from home!

We have strawberries everywhere. I'm on a mission to eat all of them I possibly can - and leaf lettuce too - over the next 3 weeks until the season ends for both. I made a strawberry cake a couple days ago which DH & I already polished off. I'm going to make another one today, and some strawberry quick breads from Amish Friendship starter for the farmers market tomorrow.

In the meantime I'll be popping fresh strawberries in my mouth all day long as a snack . LOL
