Title: OUR LEMON PIE
Categories: Diabetic, Desserts, Pies
Yield: 8 servings

3 tb Margarine;
10 Graham cracker squares;
1/2 c Skimmed evaporated milk;
-cold
1 pk Dream Whip;
27 pk Equal sweetener;
2 Egg yolks;
2 lg Lemons; 1/2 cup juice
3 Egg whites;
3 tb Sugar;

Melt margarine on medium to low heat. Roll graham
crackers into crumbs with rolling pin. Mix crumbs and
melted margarine. Pat to make crust on bottom and
sides of pie pan. Chill.

Add cold evaporated milk to Dream Whip (do not add
vanilla). Sprinkle in 24 pkg. Equal. Mix and beat
according to directions. Beat egg yolks slightly, and
gradually stir in lemon juice. Gradually fold in the
whipped Dream Whip. Spread in pie crust. Turn on
broiler so it will get hot. Beat 3 egg whites frothy
(use clean beaters so whites will beat up as fluffy as
possible). Add 1 tbs. sugar and beat until blended
in. Add another tbs. sugar and 3 Equal pkg. and beat
until soft peaks form. Spread meringue over top.
Spread meringue to stick to the edges so it won’t
shrink when you broil it.

Put under broiler for 30-60 seconds until meringue is
lightly browned. IT DOESN’T TAKE LONG AT ALL AND IS
EASY TO BURN. The flavors will blend better if you
chill for 5 hours.

Omelets

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Creole Main dish
Eggs Cheese

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
***** NONE *****

8 Eggs

1/2 c Water

4 tb Butter or margarine

1. Mix eggs and water.

2. In 7- to 10-inch omelet pan or skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1

tablespoon butter until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water.

3. Pour in 1/2 cup egg mixture (mixture should set immediately at edges).

4. With inverted pancake turner, carefully push cooked portions at edges

toward center so uncooked portions can reach hot pan surface, tilting pan

and moving cooked portions as necessary.

NOTE: It is better to fill slightly underdone omelet; heat retained in eggs

completes the cooking. For a more authentic touch, add a few drops of hot

pepper sauce. Round out the menu with okra and rice.
