I use granular Splenda. Grilled chicken with lemon is great on a grill for outdoor or indoor. And lemon lime pie is a great way to end any meal!

2 egg whites, beaten egg whites

Add the powdered milk to the egg whites beaten; beat. Add the vanilla mix, salty and sweet n ' low, well. Press the mixture into the pie plate and bake at 300 degrees 20 minutes or until done.

1 cup evaporated skim milk
1 pkg (4-part) lemon-flavoured jelly
lime-flavored Jelly 1 pkg (4-part)
1/8 teaspoon salt
