Birthday Dinner

 

 menu

Winger's Chicken

rainbow jello

homemade rolls with butter and jam

popcorn

cheesecake for dessert

Every year on this birthday the menu is the same.  Sometimes I'll fix a salad, but it's not necessary.  The table might look bare but my kids think the meal is perfect. The main dish is Winger's chicken.

This year I couldn't find Winger's sauce at the store but I found a recipe that is just as good.

Winger's Sticky Fingers Recipe:

6 Tbl. Frank's Hot Sauce (It has to be Franks Hot Sauce, no other sauce will taste as good)

4 Tbl. water

1 1/2 c. brown sugar

Heat hot sauce, water and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, until sugar is dissolved.


Here is where I found the recipe and you can find more details on how to make it:  (I used popcorn chicken instead of chicken strips.)

Here is the fun part of the meal. We don't usually play with our food but rainbow jello sculptures are the exception. Not only is it food but it is the entertainment!!!

And for dessert:

This year it was store bought cheesecake, and of course, ice cream!  The kind of cake is the only thing that changes from year to year.  The rest of the menu always stays the same.

I made a candy poster with starbursts and small Reece's peanut butter cups for a decoration.

  It turned out so well I think I will make one for every  birthday this year and choose the birthday person's favorite candy for the poster. 

Happy 18th Birthday Landon!!!
