STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

DINNER AT HOME

Had some leftover Meat Sauce and Bell Peppers in the fridge so I made Stuffed Peppers.  Topped with Mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese and a little Basil.

SHREDDED BEEF TAQUITOS

DINNER AT HOME

Craving Taquitos like we enjoy on our trips to San Diego so I made my own using an Air Fryer and low carb tortillas.  These were as good or better than most Mexican restaurants in Hawaii and up there with the San Diego ones.  I made them just like San Diego with Lettuce, Guacamole, Cheese, Pico de Gallo and Cotija Cheese.  So good!

NO FRY EGGPLANT PARMESAN

DINNER AT HOME

This is a great recipe for a non-fried Eggplant Parmesan.  Only problem was that I cut the Eggplant too thin.  Next time I will make slices minimum of 1/4" thick.  I used all three cheeses in this recipe.  Provolone, Mozzarella and Parmesan.  This was really good and will definitely make it again.

CAULIFLOWER FRIED RICE

BREAKFAST AT HOME

I'll put my Cauliflower Fried Rice up against any Fried Rice out there.  It is absolutely delicious.  This batch included Spam, Portuguese Sausage, Char Siu and Pork Chops.
Low carb and filled with delicious protein.

SHRIMP TEMPURA BURRITO

LUNCH AT HOME

I always make Shrimp Tempura Tacos so thought it would be nice to try a Shrimp Tempura Burrito.  Used a low carb tortilla and same exact ingredients as my Tacos.  Absolutely delicious!

ANUENUE - OAHU COUNTRY CLUB

Enjoyed a delicious Good Friday dinner at Oahu Country Club.  Food and service were great.
Love that when they say fresh Sashimi it is "fresh".  No chemical soaked fish here.  The Okonomiyaki Brussels Sprouts are delicious and everyone at the table woofed them down like candy.  I had Salmon and my Wife enjoyed the Miso Butterfish.  Both were great and served with the black Forbidden Rice.  Finished with Mud Pie!

SHRIMP TEMPURA TACOS

DINNER AT HOME

These Tacos are simple to make and have to be one of my top 10 meals ever.  Every time I eat these my eyes roll back and I think to myself "wow...so good".  I know that I post these a lot but heck I want to share this taco with the world!

This is one of my favorite home cooked meals ever.  We enjoy Salmon with Hollandaise Sauce all the time and never get sick of it.  Could easily eat this every week.

PASTRAMI AND SWISS CHEESE SANDWICH

LUNCH AT HOME

This delicious sandwich made at home really hit the spot.  All the flavors of a New York Deli in Hawaii.  Pastrami, Swiss Cheese, Pickles and Thousand Island Dressing on low carb bread of course!

FAIRMONT SCOTTSDALE PRINCESS

SCOTTSDALE, AZ

Took a quick weekend business trip to Scottsdale and loved the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess.  Great resort with many pools, cabanas, bars and fire pits.  I was able to dine at the Ironwood and Bourbon Steakhouse.  While Ironwood was good, Bourbon was great.  Staff was friendly and courteous from check in to check out.  Room was kept clean, stocked with water and they even organized my toiletries during turndown service.  I give the room staff a 10.  This resort has something for everyone especially if you like to swim or lay out by the pool. If you golf, the TPC Stadium Course is at your doorstep.  Definitely coming back here and hopefully with my family!
