Kenmore Honored Harvest Time entry by Michelle Burgmeier, Iowa State Fair
I found parts of this recipe while looking through my Grandma’s cookbooks after she passed away. This recipe is very special to me since it could easily be found in my Grandma’s kitchen. All the produce (except the mushrooms) in this recipe were harvested from my garden at home & the chicken was raised & dressed by my family & I. These are all traditions that I’ve learned from my Mom that she learned from her Mom. While chicken & rice is a very comforting food it is also very nostalgic knowing this is a sauce that came from my Great-Grandmother. In my family, everyone is needed in the field at harvest time; I also have a full-time off the farm job, so it is imperative that meals be quick & convenient. Its very important that my family eats a good wholesome meal while working long hard hours. This recipe is a highly demanded one, even by my pork & beef loving husband!
