Menu Planning

O.K.  The menu planning was o.k. for a few months, but my week hardly ever panned out how I had planned, so I am just going to post one recipe a week that I am planning to make.  
I got this recipe from my friend Ali, and it is absolutely the best haystack recipe I have ever had!

Hawaiian Haystacks...
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup flour
2 cup chicken stock or broth
additional 4-6 tsp. chicken bouillon
2 cups half and half
3 cups chopped cooked chicken

Melt butter in saucepan, add flour and cook until bubbly.  Then add Broth, bouillon, half and half until smooth, thick, bubbly, and warm.  Then add chicken.  If it is too thick, add a little more chicken broth.  Serve over rice with all your favorite haystack toppings.  My family likes pineapple, chow mein nooddles, cheese, peas, etc.
Enjoy~

I too, love the "weekly" menu, it motivates me to get mine done and maybe try something new! Also, I can't get the recipes that you have listed to pull up, a black page just comes up. Maybe it's just my computer blocking it..... I dunno. I loved haystacks as a kid and haven't had them forever! Thanks for the reminder!
