Curried Chicken Salad


I don’t often use meatless meat. Beyond Meat Grilled Chicken - Free Strips are an exception and taste fantastic. Whole Foods carries this and also offers a few other flavors. Beyond Meat Grilled Chicken is one of the few brands I think has a great straight from the grill, smoky taste. If you are exploring a vegan or vegetarian foods meatless meats can be a good transition tool but it is not recommended to eat large amounts of processed soy. The key to trying meatless meat is not expecting it to taste like meat. If you try it just as it is not expecting real meat I think you will really enjoy it.

Pumpkin Carrot Soup - a winter dinner


My sister’s Christmas card this year included a recipe for Hot Toddies. Sean and I always love a good cocktail so Hot Toddies it was for cocktail hour. It also inspired a warm winter dinner. The refrigerator is almost completely empty after Thanksgiving and not quite time to buy for Christmas yet. This soup is a product of what was in the house and the desire for something warm.


It is rare that we get rainy days in Hawaii where it is pouring all day and the temperature stays in the low 70s. Today was one of those days. Living in Hawaii makes you appreciate rainy days in a new way. When the sun is shining it’s hard to stay inside and clean, cook or organize your gadget drawer. (I know we’ve got it so hard don’t we...)

Panzanella

  I can’t think of a better drink on a hot day than a chilled glass of dry French rose wine. Panzanella is a perfect accompaniment to Rose for a light lunch. Yes, I occasionally think of what I want to drink first and then pair the food. For those of you that are trying to stay warm in the cold of winter this will transport you to a sunny deck on a warm spring day.
