Grandma had so many different Jell-O salads...but this is the first one I found in my recipe files.
Grandma Mary’s Jell-O Salad
3 small boxes jello, 4 cups boiling water. Mix until jell-o is dissolved. Add 1 can matching pie filling. Mix well. When jell-o starts to gel, add 1 tub of cool whip and mix together.
(Methinks I took this recipe verbatim from a phone call.)

Lemon Jell-O Cake
I received this recipe as part of packet at my bridal shower, from friend and fabulous baker Marilyn Rands. It's fast, it's lemony, and it's super-crazy-moist. Enjoy!
This might also be nice with other flavors. White cake with orange Jell-O and orange glaze?
1) Mix together: 1 yellow or lemon cake mix, one small package of lemon Jell-O
2) Add and beat for 3 minutes on medium: 4 eggs, 3/4 cup water, 3/4 cup oil
3) Bake in a 9x13 pan 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
4) Glaze: 3 cups powdered sugar, juice of two lemons plus the lemon rind. Should be thin to go into holes (I needed more lemon juice).
5) Immediately while hot poke with a meat fork deep holes all over the top of the cake. Pour glaze over, pushing it into the holes with the back of a tablespoon.

Pink Salad
Can I call this "my" recipe if I couldn't find an exact match in the first 20 google hits on "Pink Salad"? They all had sweetened condensed milk, pecans, pie filling, beets, or potatoes (??). So, here is my traditional, Easter, Pink Salad. I make it every year, I grimace as I buy the ingredients and empty all the packages into my bowl, at least 3 people groan and say "Oh my" when I take the lid off, and yet...we all eat 3 helpings each!
Ingredients:
1 small container Cool Whip
1 large container cottage cheese (1 pound?)
1 package strawberry flavored Jell-O
Mix together in a bowl. Don't try to use sugar free anything, it will taste bitter and separate. If you want to feel a little better about this, mix in a can or two of fruit cocktail or other fruit that you like. For the family gatherings, I normally use 1 large Cool Whip, and two of everything else. It almost fills my largest Tupperware bowl! Make sure you let this rest in the refrigerator for a few hours, so the gelatin and sugar can dissolve and the tastes can meld.
Enjoy!
