CHINESE SUNDAES
Everyone has a version of Chinese Sundaes. Many of you might call them Hawaiian Haystacks. This dish is fun to fix and serve. I love all the combinations of the different flavors, especially the crunchy noodles and pineapple!
If the man of the house wants to start cooking for the family..... This is a great dish he could add to his list! LOOKS HARD BUT IS SUPER EASY!!! Maybe you want your kids to start cooking more. A bonus with Chinese Sundaes it can be made just the way you like it. Each person can customize there dish! It can be made meatless with extra veggies! I like it sweet with lots of coconut and pineapple! You can find this recipe in my first book under Tradition!
