Hawaiian Haystacks

Something new I found and I just have to give it a try.



4 cups rice, cooked

1 cup skim milk

3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (I prefer to boil it in water with complimentary seasonings until tender)

2 cans cream of chicken soup, lowfat

1 green pepper, diced

1 bunch of green onions, diced

2 cups green peas, cooked

1 can crushed pineapple

Lemon Pepper

French’s Fried Onion Toppings

Other topping ideas: diced tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, raisins and chow mein noodles.

Boil and shred chicken. Cook rice. In a small saucepan, heat milk and soup. Once it has thickened, add the shredded chicken. Add lemon pepper to taste. Let each person create his or her own haystack. Layer rice, chicken sauce and a variety of vegetables and fruit. Sprinkle with French’s Fried Onion Toppings or with chow mein noodles.

"Out Of The Rain" by Debbie Macomber

I have recently been reading "Out of The Rain" and absolutely love Debbie Macomber's style of writing. This book gives two completely different takes on marriages and I have found it very interesting to read. It has definitely kept my attention so much so I recommend anyone who is romantic at heart, loves to read, and especially loves to 'escape' in a book to pick this one up.

The pic above takes you to Amazon (no I am not an affiliate, just a book lover) where you can purchase it or you may even find it at Wal-Mart like I did. Either way, if you decide to pick it up and read it or if you already have read it, leave me a comment and tell me YOUR opinion on it.

Happy Reading!!

New Outlook

I finally got everything unpacked after the move recently. I am still in decorating mode as i have so much more room here to work with!

I have been so busy with kids, work, softball, tornadoes (yes I said tornadoes). Thing have just been crazy around here. Hopefully it is all settled down into a groove and my posts will become more regular. That's the goal at least. I already revamped the bloggy blog here now I just have to get back to regularly scheduled updates : ).

Stay Tuned!!
