Hawaiian Toast

In Germany, you find this on many appetizer menus. I can’t say that I have ever seen one in America, but they sure are tasty. These are especially kid-friendly. I also saw these made with diced chunks of ham and pineapple and shredded cheese on crusty rolls. French bread is really nice for these. Any bread will work as long as it is sturdy enough to hold the toppings.

Pineapple – Coconut Muffins

This is something I came up with when I had some pineapple and wanted to make muffins. I hope you like it! SOURCE: Me 🙂

Cilantro Oil(Guam)

A quick spurt of herb oil does wonders for tuna, shrimp or scallops, polenta, risotto and cooked or uncooked salads. You can keep this oil in a plastic spray bottle! Clayton Babas, Executive Chef, at the Guam Reef Hotel makes this for the guests.

Hungarian Kifli (Christmas Cookies) With Dates

I woke up a few mornings ago thinking about a special Christmas cookie we used to make using my Hungarian grandmother’s recipe. I could remember the cookie, but not the name. Thanks to Facebook (who knew a friend in Cabo had a friend in Hungary!) I got the name but an internet search didn’t come up with something exactly like I remembered. I took the closest, which used raisins, and came up with this which is EXACTLY as I remembered, but much easier. NOTE: if you like the filling you might want to make about 1.3 times the amount to overstuff your Kifli. If there’s any left over roll it into balls, cover with sugar and call it a truffle. Hope someone out there enjoys this!
