Returning food to the sacred
Last Saturday, Jon and I took a long drive around the north east end of the island. There is a gorgeous retreat center just past Hana, and I was on a scouting mission for a possible retreat I’ll be hosting next Fall. It was the perfect excuse to grab our cameras and just take a […]
We really don’t tend to be dessert people in this house. On occasion Jon and I will have a small bowl of vanilla ice cream – his with chocolate on top and mine with a sprinkle of cinnamon. But thats generally it. After dinner, we simply don’t have dessert. In my quest to find gluten […]

I have been cooking up a storm in the kitchen, ever since I came off my cleanse. Trying out easy and casual dishes with a bit of a different twist has been my interest lately. Tacos are a favorite here, and I found a recipe for a salsa verde that really inspired me. These tacos […]
