About this Cook
I am a Navy wife, mother of 2. I am originally from Honolulu, Oahu one of the Hawaiian islands. I learned how to cook from my mom and my husband who knows how to put recipes together. I started cooking as soon as we moved away from Hawaii. I miss Hawaii with all my heart so to feel closer I bring my culture and cook the great flavored foods from Hawaii.

Kalua Pig in a Slow Cooker
This is ono (delicious) the best way to cooking our Hawaiian pork. All of my State side friends here on our Japan base begs me to cooking Kalua pig in the slow cooker. Everytime I cook mines I tend to add more liquid smoke, a pinch of black pepper and Hawaii soy sauce called Aloha Shoyu. Not too much. After my pork is cooked about 10 hours. I toss in chopped cabbage and diced up onions. Adding in a little more liquid smoke, Aloha soy sauce and black pepper. The aroma is the best! Aloha!

Truck-Stop Buttermilk Pancakes
I was afraid to making these delicious pancakes because all my past pancakes dont come out as great as diner style. To me this is the closest I will get to I-hop. For my husband this is the closest he will get to waffle house as he says. Thank you for sharing this I love pancakes and Ive been searching for that great tasting pancakes. By the way I added a little more vanilla.

Baked Apricot Chicken
Oh my goodness this is soo good! Thank you for sharing this recipe. My kids and husband loved it but I did a few changes. I went ahead and cut off the skin as the reviews had said. Then I seasoned it with season salt and pepper on both sides. Then I seared both sides of the chicken on a pan in olive oil. After I placed them in a pan and covered it in the apricot sauce. Using apricot jelly, onion soup mix, Italian dressing and a TBS of sugar. Yummy! Would make this again and share this. aloha!
