I have made this using peach jello and fresh peaches and it was fabulous, I bet the strawberry is just as good!!
That is one of my favorite desserts, but haven't made it lately. Thanks for the reminder!
Mmm.. I am not a big fan of congealed desserts, but this dessert is yummy!
Blessings to you and Harper! ... Scott and Dawson too!
One of my absolute favorites!! Okay, I have a lot of those, but still....LOVE IT!! :)
Hugs to you ALL!
This is one of my husbands favorite desserts. We usually use the 1/3 less fat cream cheese in ours. :)
Oh...another low fat recipe is to take a yellow cake mix and put a can of diet sprie or diet 7up in. That is it...mix it up and bake it like the box directs (no egg, oil or anything). Let it cool then top with fat free cool whip and fresh fruit! YUMMY! It makes a gooey cake...I love it. I keep the cake on the counter and just put the cool whip on what is going to be eaten at that time. That is how I do "strawberry short cake" now. Very low in fat and it is a good diabetic recipe too. :)
This recipe has been in my family for over 30 years. It has been passed down for generations and I just love it. We always have it on thanksgiving and Christmas. We make it a little different, but you got the main ingredients. Love the new recipe posts. Cant wait for more.
I do not blog but I really miss your Kelly's Korner Blog. I look forward to reading this on a daily basis. You are such an inspiration and just as cute as you can be.
Hope to see you back soon.

I love this recipe! We made it once in China (because it takes a lot of ingredients that we can't get in our city: pretzles, cream cheese, jell-o, etc.) Anyway, when we finally had all the ingredients it was January so we set it outside to chill. Yum!
I love this recipe! :)
I was on a person's food blog and she was using your recipes from this blog AND your pictures without giving any credit to you.
I was irritated and wanted to let you know. I can't remember the blog - I will find it and let you know...
Here is the blog - I noticed the poppyseed chix and swiss chicken recipes - I just didn't think it was right that she used your pics and didn't give you credit?!?

Glad you liked this!! I was the blog reader to share the recipe : ) It's a family favorite in our house. Blessings to you and your family!
MAKING THIS!
Hey Kelly! Will you post the recipe that you posted on your "personal" blog that a friend had brought over when you came home with Harper. All I remember is it had shrimp, dirty rice and cheese. Thanks girl!
YUMMO- I can't wait to eat this!!!
This is a great summer dessert to take to a Memorial Day picnic or a 4th of July celebration. I can't wait to make it this summer.
Love this recipe...except in my family, we eat it as a salad, not a dessert! Traditional for Thanksgiving at our house!
Hmmm sounds yummy. Definitely going to try it!
Such great recipes. I can't find your email address. Can you email me if you get a chance? Would really appreciate it.

I made this for Memorial Day and it was a huge hit! I decorated the top with blueberries and strawberries to form a flag. Thanks for posting!!!
Oh and I used Splendablend instead of sugar and reduced fat cream cheese and it was still delish!!!
Hi Kelly! I have been reading your blog(s) since Harper was born. Some of the girls from our Church (First Baptist Broken Arrow) went to see you when Harper was here in the NICU. I love reading your blog. It is very encouraging. I can relate to it in SO MANY ways! I am thinking about making this dessert for my in-laws this weekend. Would you suggest making it a day in advance, or does it matter? Thanks!
