Hawaiian Martini

Mon, 15 Jul 2002 06:46:48 -0400

Roy Yamaguchi's national chain of Hawaiian fusion restaurants serves a martini that will have you singing "Tiny Bubbles" with your imaginary monkey friend Cecil. Whole bottles of Skyy vodka, Stoli Vanil, and Malibu rum are dumped into a giant decanter along with some sugar and pineapple chunks. After three days, when all the hunks of pineapple are floating, the cocktail's ready to be served -- shaken, not stirred -- in a chilled martini glass. Prepare in advance of your next swinging cocktail party since the recipe makes around 36 drinks. -- posted by Loves2Teach

Fruity Freeze

Thu, 19 Sep 2002 22:35:54 -0400

This is something I created when I had excess fruit and hot weather. It is fabulous in summer, very cold and refreshing as well as healthy. Reminds me of a fruit slushy or sorbet but much cheaper and tastier. Can be made with whatever fruit you prefer, I keep frozen fruit in the freezer in zip lock bags now, just to make this and lately that's been every day! Prep time does not include freezing time. -- posted by dale!

Fri, 05 Mar 2004 20:00:07 -0500

Most people make charoset for Passover using the same recipe that people around the world have used for thousands of years -- apples, walnuts and wine.

Big Fruit Salad

Mon, 09 Aug 2004 20:00:11 -0400

After an OVERLY hearty, boring, rich, oily meat and potatoes kind of meal I really truly feel that everyone only wants one thing; something that's not overly hearty, boring, rich, and oily! That is why I made this dessert salad that is also a great snack, bunch, and even a full lunch sometimes. -- posted by MizEmerilLagasse

Raspberry Coconut Cake With White Chocolate Icing

Tue, 21 Sep 2004 20:00:23 -0400

I made this cake from a vision, lol. I have seen these things called "Dream Bars" up on this site that have raspberry and coconut flavors mixed in them, and I just couldn't help but want to make a cake that had the same flavorings. When I first made it, I was really nervous when I took it out of the oven because it began to fall, but little did I know that it had turning into an incredibly moist, sponge-like cake. It soaks up the raspberry jam and takes up the flavor and color of it. It is really a pretty cake, and very tasty I might add. I hope you enjoy it! -- posted by MizEmerilLagasse

These are savory fritters filled with pineapples, habanaro, chives, garlic, turmeric and are very addictive. Serve as an appetizer, top some grilled meats, seafood or a side to a salad. Diced red pepper mix along the pineapple would be very good in this as well. -- posted by ~Rita~

Lava Flow

Tue, 01 Aug 2006 15:37:19 -0400

While temporarily stationed at Hickam AFB in Honolulu, Hawaii I had my very first Lava Flow experience. Needless to say, it was love at first sip. These are VERY good and VERY addicting. This is the closest, easiest, and best duplicate of the true Hawaiian lava flow, so ENJOY! And if you ever get the chance to go to Hawaii for yourself, you've just got to try 'em on the beach with their fresh pineapple. GOOD STUFF!!! (Prep time is freeze time for strawberry mixture, and cook time is approximate mix & blend time.) -- posted by F-16 momma

Oatmeal from the Tropics

Thu, 26 Jul 2007 18:17:25 -0400

This is a very yummy oatmeal I made up this morning.:) Mmm...a great reminder that summer is on it's way when when it's chilly in the spring! This is more for people like me that need a lot of calories. However, you can easily reduce the calories by ommitting the coconut oil and using regular milk or water. Not that it's as yummy then.;) Time does not include soaking since that is optional. -- posted by Missmagill

My boyfriend hates sweet potatoes. It's been rainy here forever, so I decided to get creative one night, serving these as a side dish for us and our three kids, with a lovely salmon with shiitake ragout and pesto capellini with pomegranate spritzers on the side. It's a little sweet, a lot rich, simple to prepare, and totally delicious.
