Returning food to the sacred
A while back I wrote about the amazing lime bounty I was getting from my friends Roxanne and Shane. Their tree just bursts with limes every year and they are wonderfully generous with their fruit. At one point I had so many that I froze the juice, but also kept the zest, in order to […]
I must say, I have loved having our friends, Rox and Shane, share the bounty of their lime tree with us. For weeks it seemed that every time I went over there for my thrice weekly swim, I walked away with a bag of home grown organic limes. I used them on everything; in my […]
Our CSA box has been bringing such a juicy variety of goodness lately. Between the box and our friends with fruit trees, we have been eating quite well. I wanted this salad to be simple, fresh and colorful. The dressing is super light and only enhances the natural flavors of the beet and the […]
My dear friend Susan Teton is an amazing Chef and one of the wonderful treasures Jon and I have discovered here in Maui. Susan was on of the people I met early on in my journey into Maui and as you all know, Maui for us has been among other things, about food food food. […]

I just keep thinking, two more weeks, two more weeks and THEN it will all get attended to. It makes me laugh somewhat and honestly? […]
I’ve started to make Frittata’s on Sunday. Only on Sundays. I’m not sure why, but I like the idea of a hearty late breakfast/brunch dish that allows me to use whatever filler vegetable and herb ingredients I have on hand without much thought. It’s easy, filling, and a dish that seems to add to the […]
