Koolaid Pie

I've heard about a recipe for Koolaid pie and was able to taste a piece while living in GA. Has anyone else ever heard of this? Any idea where I could get the recipe?

Thanx for the help,
Jessica

No-Fat White Sauce

I remember having a recipe once for a no fat white sauce. Does anyone have that recipe? It was great because you could use it with vegetables or fish, etc. Thank you in advance!

Recipes for Someone With Colitis Disease

Colitis Disease? A friend came to visit me over the long weekend and informed me that she had Colitis. She could not eat anything with Fibre. We live on fibre. I asked her how she copes? Very difficult as even Doctor cannot help her with recipes and what to avoid, etc. Does anyone know of a site or any delish recipes that I can send her. Thanks!
