Miscellaneous Mondays

Mondays is back upon us again and why do we love Monday's oh yeah Hawaii 5-0.  Oh the downside of Hawaii 5-0 in winter (there is a small one) is we realize we need to get back into bikini shape to be hanging along side some of our favorite guys. "The rest of the world lives to eat, while I eat to live." ~ Socrates


So as most Monday's begin we start to think about eating better. making wiser choices (like those phrases better). So thought today's recipe could accompany the healthy life style our H50 ohana inspire within us. So lets face it if Steve and Chin were catching dinner, guess we might need something healthy to accompany our main course.
