What should I make for our Memorial Day Picnic?

Question

I was thinking more along the lines of dessert, and I wanted to make something light and summery...maybe something lemon flavored? Any suggestions would be great! (make sure you include the recipe or where I can get the recipe....thanks!)

Answer 2

There's a good lemon bar recipe on cookinglight.com. But it's listed under lemon squares I believe. They're really good.

Or you could do a pistachio pie, that's light and fluffy and pretty and good too!

1 Keebler graham crust
1 pkg. pistachio pudding mix
1 can (15 oz.) crushed pineapple, slightly drained
1 tub of Cool Whip

In a bowl, sprinkle the mix over the pineapple and stir. Wait 10 minutes. Fold in the Cool Whip. Dump it all in the crust and refrigerate for 4+ hours. It's awesome!
