Dream Salad

Another one from Jon's sister, Elizabeth. I'm not sure why this is called "Salad", to me it's Dessert!

2 sleeves Ritz crackers, crumbled (reserve some for top)
1/2 c. butter, melted
1/4 c. sugar
1 can sweetened condensed milk
6 oz. frozen lemonade, melted
12 oz. cool whip

Mix cracker crumbs, butter and sugar and press into pan. Mix sweetened condensed milk, lemonade and cool whip and spread over crumbs – sprinkle with extra crumbs and chill.

The inspiration

For a couple of years I have been typing up recipes and dreaming of getting them all into a book - one place that I can look for all of our go-to recipes we've compiled over the first 15 years of our marriage. But I hit a slump and became discouraged that this was never going to happen. Until the other night when I was talking to my friends Julie and Eric and they loved the idea, and Eric suggested that instead of a book, I create a blog! This way I could post what I already have typed up, it would all be in one spot, and maybe someday if I ever do actually get it put into a cookbook, it will be ready!
