Hawaiian Haystacks

 

 
If someone asked me to name a few meals that reminded me of my childhood this would be one of them! In fact my older brother, Stetson asks for this meal almost every year for his “birthday meal” that my mom cooks. And being that I am headed to Hawaii next week I only thought that it would be fitting to fix this meal before we head off! The best thing about this meal is that it is so versatile. This plate in the picture would be mine: layered cheese, tomatoes, pineapple, mandarin oranges, lots of coconut, slivered almonds,Chinese noodles, and sour cream all sprinkled with salt and pepper! My boys like just cheese and Chinese noodles and sometimes my oldest will add a couple of tomatoes. The possibilities are endless!
