My baby is 21 today! That is so amazing and hard to believe! How could a tiny little "Pipsqueak" grow up into such a wonderful young lady so quickly?
And what did Sarah pick for her special birthday meal?
Snow on the Mountain* (some folks call this recipe Hawaiian Haystacks), Lime Jello Salad, toasted crusty bread, and FunFetti cake with orange sherbet.
Sarah, we wish you the very happiest birthday ever! Happy 21 on a snowy Wednesday--what a perfect birthday gift just for you!
~ Your family
* recipe follows
Snow on the Mountain
Cream Sauce:
- 1 4-oz can mushrooms
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups cooking chicken (I add more)
- 2 cup chicken broth (may use broth from boiled chicken)
- 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chopped piemento (small jar)
Saute mushrooms and pepper in butter. Blend in flour and seasonings over low heat until smooth and bubbly. (This takes a while.)
Remove from heat and slowly add broth and cream. Stir constantly. Return to heat and bring to boil over low heat. Boil 1 min. Heat through. Serve over rice.
To pile on top of mountain:
- chow mein noodles
- shredded cheddar cheese
- diced green onion
- diced celery
- diced tomatoes
- crushed pineapple, drained
- slivered almonds
- flaked coconut (to represent the snow)
This cream sauce can be done ahead of time and heated through at time of serving, and all the toppings can be chopped and waiting.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!!!!! Wow 21.. how'd that happen so fast!! Hope you have a great day! (your meal sounds WONDERFUL!!!) and what better way to celebrate then with some SNOW!!! Have fun today.. hope you feel special!
