Cherry Cheese Pie
This no-bake pie recipe came from a Thrifty Maid label for cherry fruit filling . Yum! Yum! Good!
If you don't like cherry, you can use strawberry, or no fruit filling at all, it's good any which way.

1 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
1/3 cup of lemon juice from concentrate
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 6 oz graham cracker pie crust
1 21 oz can of cherry fruit filling (chilled)
In a large bowl beat cream cheese until fluffy
Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth
Stir in lemon juice and vanilla
Pour into graham cracker crust
Chill in refrigerator for 3 hours
Top with fruit filling and serve
Double Layer Pumpkin Pie
Last but not least, is one of my favorites no-bake double layer pumpkin pie. I originally received this recipe from my cousin, Jennifer, years ago. Through the process of time, I missplaced it (lost it), but ran accrossed it again through the Keebler Company recipe cards. Oh what a happy day!
1 6 oz Ready Crust Graham Cracker Pie Crust
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 tbsp of milk
1 tbsp of sugar
1 8 oz tub of frozen non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
2 boxes ( 4 serving size each) of vanilla flavor instant pudding
1 can 16oz of Libby's 100% pumpkin
1 tsp of ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp of ginger
1/4 tsp of cloves
Beat cream cheese, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1tbsp of milk until smooth
Gently stir in 1/2 of whipped topping
Spread on bottom of graham cracker crust
Pour 1 cup of milk into a bowl and add pudding mixes, beat for 1 minute
Stir in pumpkin and spices, mix well
Spread over cream cheese layer
Refrigerate 4 hours or until set
All easy to make, just some take more time than others. Have fun over the holidays, and be thankful for what you do have, don't worry about what you don't have.
In other words, "Don't Worry, Be Happy"!
