1 package jello

1 package cream cheese

1 large container whipped topping

1 can wafers sticks



Make a crust for bottom of spring cake pan using graham crackers, cookies or crumbs. Pack well. Line sides of pan with wafer sticks.

From Nutritionist: This is an easy spring time meal. The chicken and dressing can cook while you are visiting with Mother. The chicken provides the protein while the dressing gives carbohydrates. The salad will give vitamins and minerals. Make the pie ahead of time. All you have to do for the meal is slice and serve! The pie recipe may be altered with low fat whipped topping, low fat cream cheese and no-sugar jello. Since the carbohydrates in the dressing and pie are high, a diabetic will need to adjust portions. Place left-overs in air tight containers and send home with Mom to enjoy later. Happy Mother's Day!
