Chicken a la King

Sisters, here is the recipe you have been asking for since the R.S. Christmas Dinner...it is easy to make and heavenly to eat. Enjoy!!
Chicken a la King Recipe
Cooked chicken cut into pieces, enough to fill a gallon bucket (icecream bucket\0
3 Cans of Cream of Chicken Soup
1 Can of Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 Bunch of Celery ( about 8-10 stalks )
1 1kg bag of frozen Peas
Whipping Cream
-Chop CELERY, add just enough water to barely cover the celery. Cook until celery is done.Do not drain. Set aside.
-Mix CHICKEN and SOUPS, add celery mixture. Stir and cook until mixture is hot. (make sure you stir it often so that it does not burn.)
-Thaw PEAS a bit under hot water. Drain. Add to mixture.
Cook for another 1/2 hour.
-Add CREAM to the mixture during the last 15 minutes or so. The amount of cream depend on how thin you want it. ( I usually add about 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup ) Use more if it is too thick. It will NOT taste the same if you use milk!
** This recipe freezes very well!
-Serve this yummy recipe over Puff pastry (croissants), small tart shells, or toast, noodles, and even rice,
This recipe serves about 20 - 25 depending on the size of the shell you use.

Festive Poppyseed Salad

The 2009 Relief Society Christmas Dinner had such a mouth watering menu! The Romaine Salad served was so unique and full of such taste bud tantalizing goodies. I knew you would want me to get the recipe for you!
I begged and begged Sister Brooks for her recipe...well okay, no actual begging.
Lori is always such a generous soul to share with us. (Thanks again Lori!)

P.S. This picture of a romaine salad, is similar but not as beautiful as Lori's recipe.
I wish I had an actual picture of the real salad for you.
I need to carry my camera with me at all times in case my taste buds start humming for joy again!
