Hawaii Food and Recipe Blog

Aloha! More on where I’ve been later - right now I saw this item which caught my eye in the Honolulu Advertiser. Apparently Whole Foods has opened their first store at the Kahala Mall. It’s the first “organic” chain retailer to make inroads to the islands and according to the article, the resopnse has been very positive.

I guess when I think of Hawai’i, I think of fresh, healthy and wholesome foods. Well except for the Spam, of course, which at least falls under delicious if not exactly organic or healthy. So I was surprised that there wasn’t a larger organic food movement already established.

I’m back from the most awesome vacation ever! My mom, Karen and I had a blast in Hawaii and I will be working on getting all our photos digitized and uploaded today so I can share some pictures and great recipes/food stories with you. Keep checking in and mahalo nui for being patient as I get it all finished!

ALOHA!

No other heading will do - it’s official, I am going to be traveling back to Oahu April 2nd. I promise to take beaucoups of pictures of the area (and the food of course!) and to pick up a few new cookbooks while I’m there. Obviously the blog will be a bit quiet while I’m gone but boy oh boy, won’t I have a lot to talk about when I get back!

So question - anywhere I should try and hit while I’m there? I will be in Oahu from April 2nd to April 8th, we’re staying in Waikiki and if there are any "must see" restaurants I want to know about them!

I can’t wait - I already picked up a big carton of Dole Pineapple Orange juice. I’d drink straight pineapple but after a couple glasses the acid really makes my lips raw Still it’s great to know I can get it any time I want a little something tropical! Although when you visit Hawaii you’re more likely to see Guava Nectar on the table than pineapple, which is also yummy!
