Julia's Collections

When my mother passed away 20 years ago, my sisters and I had the not-so-fun job of going through her treasures. No one spoke for her recipe collections, so I grabbed them. You see, my mom was a fantastic cook. It seemed a shame to me to have those recipes go unclaimed! Well, here we are, 20 years later; and those recipes have rested in their special place on my closet shelf waiting to be tried . . . .

Tonight's Dinner - Chicken Supreme with Rice / Pineapple & Cottage Cheese Salad

Decided to split dinner tonight with Marian & Nolan. I made Chicken Supreme with Rice and put it in two pans. High fat alert. But it was tastey.

CHICKEN SUPREME WITH RICE
3 cups cooked rice
2 whole chicken breasts, cooked and chopped
5 hard boiled eggs, sliced
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
Layer the above in order twice in a casserole dish.
Sauce:
1/4 tsp. curry powder
3 tbsp. lemon juice
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 soup can milk
1 cup mayonnaise
Mix sauce and pour over casserole. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Garnish with half can of onion rings (optional) and bake another 10 minutes.

I also made Pineapple & Cottage Cheese Salad for them because it had cottage cheese. There is a logic to that if you think it through.

PINEAPPLE & COTTAGE CHEESE SALAD
1 pkg. lime Jello dissolved in 1 cup hot pineapple juice - cool.
1 pkg. cottage cheese
1 cup pineapple
1 cup whipping cream - whipped
Mix in Jello mixture after it starts to set. Can add maraschino cherries & nuts. Very good.
