Week #12: Hawaii, USA

Lahaina Sunset

Aloha! Grab your ukuleles and flip-flops and settle in for some laid-back island cooking, because this week we're traveling to our 50th state: Hawaii!

We traveled there a few years back, so we'll share lots of stories and info gathered during that trip (today's photos were taken while we were there.

Later in the week, we'll prepare an oven-baked version of the centerpiece to any authentic luau. Before that, though, I'll make a yummy-sounding fish dish from one of our souvenirs from that vacation, "A Little Hawaiian Cookbook" we bought there. I'll probably track down a chicken dish, too, that we can grill up on the weekend.

But, my first post will come later today. We're heading out soon for a potluck Easter dinner with the family, so I've made a Hawaiian cake for the feast.

So, check back later and stay tuned all week! We're bound to enjoy much ono ono (absolutely delicious) cooking.

Mahalo! (Thanks!)
