This is such a great dinner, at least in our house, because it gets the kids involved and they get to choose what they like to put on their "haystack".
Begin by cooking 1 lb of chicken, cut up into cubes. I usually just boil it with some rosemary.
In a saucepan, combine 1 can of cream of chicken soup, 1/2 cup milk, and the cooked chicken. Too easy? I thought so! Heat it on med to hot.
Make some minute rice.
On a plate, start with the rice, then put a spoonful of the chicken mixture on top.
Now the fun part.
Pile on as many toppings as you want. Here is a list of what we usually have:
chopped green peppers
shredded cheese
crushed pineapple
sliced water chestnuts
cashews/sliced almonds
shredded coconut
chow mein noodles
if you can think of something else that you like...just add it! That is the great part, you can have whatever you want on it, or dont!
Mix it up and enjoy!

3rd Favorite Dessert...Apple Dumpling Heaven...(can I really keep doing this?)
This is seriously the best thing that has ever happened to apples. Ever. If you are a health nut, please stop reading this now. I know a lot of people who take recipes and try to make them healthy by cutting stuff out of it. PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT HERE! This recipe will never be the same if you cut back. Just skip it. But I suggest you at least try it before you banish it.
The ingredients:
2 granny smith apples, peeled
2 cans crescent rolls
2 sticks of butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla
cinnamon
1 can MOUNTAIN DEW
thats right, I said it, Mountain Dew. Who would have thought???
First, cut each apple into 8 slices (that makes 16)
Roll each slice in a crescent roll
Place in a greased 9x13 pan
In a small sauce pan, melt butter.
Add vanilla
Stir in sugar, no need to dissolve, just stir it in quickly
Pour this majically calorie free mixture over the apples
Now pour the MD all around the sides and in between the apples. It will look like a lot of liquid, but it all soaks up, leaving a little sauce after it cooks.
Sprinkle cinnamon on top
Bake at 350 for 40 minutes
Divine if served with vanilla ice cream
Now, go step on your treadmill for a few hours.
