In Reply to: ISO.........LONG LOST FAVORITE FAMILY RECEIPE posted by Shane on January 14, 2001 at 19:43:26:
: Hi everyone...I just found this site and I love it-there are alot of great ideas and yummy receipes I cant wait to try. Does anyone have a receipe for a pan dessert that has saltine crackers for the botton and its topped with coolwhip and 1/2 cherry pie filling and the other 1/2 with diced pineapple?? I loves this dessert growing up and its very easy and inexpensise. My mom never got around to giving it to me and just recently she moved to FL and accidentally sold it in a yard sale with her other receipe books.....soooo all our family favorites are now being used by someone else:( I would love to have this..and it would be a nice surprise for my mom to get it back. Thanks so much for your help:)
