Hawaiian Haystacks

this is a fun meal. you have maybe heard of it if you live in utah. you have probably heard of it if you are mormon. and you have definitely heard of hawaiian haystacks if you've spent any time in the BYU dorms. they are a heritage halls staple. ryan has never heard of hawaiian haystacks. he kept calling them "hawaiian mystery haystacks" because he was at the grocery store with me as i listed the ingredients and he was interested in seeing the plot develop.

hawaiian haystacks ingredients:

- 1 cup rice per person

- sauce -- which in our case was 1 can cream of celery, half a can milk, and a spoonful of sour cream, heated up in a saucepan, but in your case may be cream of chicken and this is also where you add in the cooked chicken if you're into that

- shredded cheddar cheese

- chopped celery

- chopped green onion

- pineapple chunks

- chow mein noodles

other options include peas, olives, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc.

this was actually a lot more delicious than i remember it being. i really liked it and ryan liked it too, he took this meal into double overtime. that is the march madness term for thirds. on a side note, thank you to daylight savings time for providing daylight during dinner time. i will probably include more pictures of my actual food plates now.
