Ginger Vanilla Applesauce
What do you do when you’ve got a handful of apples too soft to enjoy eating on their own? You make applesauce, because it’s easy. And delicious. I’ve eaten homemade applesauce, though I hadn’t made it myself before today. There … Continue reading

Homemade Haupia
Some times I get homesick. I’ve lived in Oregon for over eight years now, but Kauai will always be a part of me. Besides, I still have family–blood related and not–living there. Mostly I get homesick for the ocean; being … Continue reading
