April 29, 2011

As if I haven’t eaten my bodyweight in cake pops enough lately I got this guy as a Friday treat today. Good thing Starbucks is not next door…

I am not the one who invented the chocolate-macadamia nut combination. This much is true. But there’s nothing wrong – not. a. thing. – with improving upon something that’s already fabulous!

Sunrise at Haleakala

April 28, 2011

It’s funny: when I graduated from college I started working for Starbucks which meant early mornings (i.e. waking up at 3am for a shift that started at 5am). Then I was a personal trainer, which meant I could totally sleep in til a whopping 5am every day. WHEE. Now I have a job that starts [...]

Scenes from Maui II

Oreo Pudding Cake

April 26, 2011

When a recipe starts off with a picture like this, you know you’re in the right place. Can you believe that when I was younger I hated Oreos? Neither can I. There were so many random things I disliked, and for whatever reason I was hellbent, for the longest time, on never eating an Oreo. [...]

Leilani’s

April 25, 2011

When we went to Maui on our honeymoon we stayed in Ka’anapali at the Westin and ate at Leilani’s (virtually right next door) about 3 times – and every.single.time we ordered a Mai Tai, fish tacos, and Hula pie. This time when we went to Maui we didn’t stay at the Westin, but we knew [...]
