My best meal in Maui

Another day, another acai bowl. Kyle got one too.  Twins! We went to return our puzzles and decided to stay for the craft because why not? So they each decorated a beach ball before we brought them to the pool with us to test out. 🙂 Some things are SO pricey in grocery stores which makes sense because they come all the way from the main land.  But then there are times when I’ve been shocked at specialty foods that are somehow cheaper in Hawaii.  Like Field Roast’s vegan CHAO cheese.  What the what!!?  I haven’t… Read more >

Another rice recipe

Two recipes in one week!  When the kitchen mojo strikes you have to grab hold and ride the wave!  Talk about mixing metaphors.  Whatever, you get the idea.  I was feeling inspired when we got back and made up another dinner that I wanted to share. The star of the menu is Nom Nom Paleo’s lemon date sauce. If you recall I made it here.  It’s from Ready or Not, the cookbook I have mentioned the most so far this year.  If you don’t have the cookbook yet what are you waiting for!?! Anyway, I… Read more >

Is it bleu?

I don’t have a photo of my brekkie, but I had the rest of the previous day’s acai bowl.  And ANOTHER maca ball.  Gah, they are so good!  I’m definitely keeping Choice in business while we are here on the island.  After that, me and my hula girl went out to the beach for the Marriott’s bubble mania fun. Followed by some time at the pool.  She really fell in love with the slide this morning. For lunch I walked down the beach path to the Westin’s poolside cafe, Relish Burger Bistro.  It’s hard to… Read more >

Singing the Marriott’s praises

These two <3 As soon as they woke up in the morning they got into the same bed. And as soon as I busted out some miles in the gym I hopped over to Choice.  For the first time, I placed my order online so it was ready and waiting for me as soon as I arrived.  Easy peasy!  Now why did it take me so long to do that!?! By the way, my foot is finally feeling normal again!  I went on a run along the beach one morning and it was ok but… Read more >

Back to the Marriott

Check out at Honua Kai was at 10 so we decided to take our time that morning and get a last load of laundry done before packing. I had a maca ball with a macadamia nut milk latte (!!!) from the hotel’s cafe after an hour on the elliptical (watching bravo crap on tv per usual). Kyle took the kids for a last hurrah at the pool while I packed us up and then we were off to adventure the afternoon away until the Marriott was ready for us to check in. Sometimes empty bottles… Read more >
