Hawaiian Haystacks

      

     We first made these Hawaiian Haystacks a week ago, and they were so good we couldn't wait to make them again!  They are chalk full of a variety of your daily vegetables and the sweet and sour sauce is great!  We also like a bit of soy sauce on it as well.  This recipe requires a bit of chopping, but overall is very easy to make.  Another plus is that it is very filling.  Enjoy!
