Hawaiian Haystacks

I actually found this base recipe on another blog, but it works well for us. I leave out the onion, only because my family doesn’t love them, and follow her recipe.

Our toppings are fairly simple, because I only do simple.


Hawaiian haystacks (a la Dawnyel)

Cheesy chicken and rice base (see blog link above)

Toppings:

Chow mein noodles

Pineapple

Mandarin oranges 

Olives

Green peppers

Cucumbers 

Coconut

Almonds

The possibilities are endless!! (My friend told me they do fresh chopped tomatoes, frozen peas—defrosted. I’ve also seen celery and green onions and maraschino cherries. Yum!)

Soft Sugar Cookies and Buttercream Frosting 

We have used these recipes for years. Neither is figure friendly, but they are so delicious.  Dawnyel’s soft sugar cookies  1 cup shortening  2 cups sugar  1 cup sour cream 3 eggs 5 cups flour 1 tsp. Salt 1 tsp. Baking soda 1 tsp. Vanilla Mix together and chill for an hour. Roll out and bake at 375 degrees for 5-8 minutes. Buttercream Frosting  1 cup room temperature butter  1 cup shortening  Whip together. Add 5-8 cups powdered sugar  3-5 Tbsp milk 1 tsp flavoring (my personal favorite is coconut extract) 1 tsp vanilla Mix until the right consistency. If it’s too loose, add more sugar, if it’s too stiff, add more milk. My frosting always tastes better than canned frosting! And it’s easy to make. I just end up covered in powder.
