5 Layer JELL-O

Light, delicious and pretty dessert. And so easy! This is not a new recipe... but the first time I've made it.
Ingredients
4 pkg. 3 oz Jello (lemon, orange, lime, strawberry)
4 pkg. Knox unflavored gelatin
1 can sweetened condensed milk
DirectionsMix 1 pkg flavored jello with 1/2 pkg of unflavored gelatin. Add 1 cup boiling water. Stir to dissolve. Cool to room temp and pour into 9 x 13 glass pan. Refrigerate for 15 minutes (and make sure your refrig is level!)
Mix 1 can sweetened condensed milk with 1 cup boiling water. In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 pkg unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Let stand a few minutes and then add 1/2 c boiling water to dissolve gelatin; add to milk mixture and stir to combine. Cool to room temp and pour 1 cup of milk mixture over first layer of jello. Refrig for 15 minutes.
Repeat for next three flavors. Let jello set. Cut and serve


*Use Fat Free Sweetened Condensed milk for: 2 Points!

Knox Gelatin: 25 Calories x 4 servings                                        = 100
FF Sweetened Condensed Milk= 110 calories x 10 servings   = 1,100
SF Jello (6oz. pkg) = 10 calories x 8 servings                            = 80
SF Jello (6oz. pkg) = 10 calories x 8 servings                            =80        
                                                                                      1,360/12 servings = aprox 114 cal/serving
*no fat or fiber

Non-Fat Frozen Yogurt

1 (32oz.) carton Non-Fat Yogurt (I used Dannon Light&Fit Vanilla)
3/4c. sugar

Mix sugar into yogurt until dissolved. Freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
That's it!

*Next time I will use Plain Non-fat yogurt and less sugar or entirely Splenda to cut down on points. I figured 3 WW points per 1/2c. serving for this recipe. If you use entirely Splenda you can have a whole 1c. serving for only 2 WW points.

Sushi!

I LOVE Sushi! I have been eating a lot of it recently on my trip to California because it's not available near my hometown in Southwest Wisconsin... and I CRAVE it! Going out to eat can make me nervous because you have to estimate points.. and I OVER-ESTIMATE, leaving me hungry and falling short of my Daily Target. I try to plan ahead before I go out so I'll know exactly what to choose.
