Aloha from Maui

Aloha from the beautiful island of Maui!  I arrived at the The Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas late last night after a long day ( 14 1/2 hours) of traveling.   Yesterday included two layovers and one lost piece of luggage but I arrived ready to enjoy the peace and beauty of this wonderful island.   

My morning began at 5:30 A.M. with a stunning 2 hour walk on the beach complete with the surprise viewing of two different rainbows..  

This was a gentle reminder that life is full of promise and where there is love….there is hope.

The black rocks on the beach will be my new collection…( I remember the movie “Something’s Gotta Give” )….

Then came my stop at Ocean’s Grill for breakfast.  The breakfast buffet came complete with Egg’s Benedict ( my favorite) and I added a Mimosa!!!  Next week I plan on featuring my recipe for Eggs Benedict for a Crowd that is EASY, EASY, EASY…and so good!  I’ll also feature a recipe for Mimosa’s and show you how to set up a Mimosa Bar for parties or brunch buffets.

 

Eggs Benedict…..

 

Mimosas…….

 

 

They also featured a beautiful buffet of Pineapple Portuguese Sausage….

Fresh Papaya with bright green wedges of fresh limes……

And a Cheese and Salmon Tray…

I have several ideas for next week’s posts including the Eggs Benedict for a Crowd, Mimosas and a make ahead Fresh Fruit and Greek Yogurt Bowl…..

 

My walk back was spectacular…..

Here’s to a great week of sharing new food ideas with you from the paradise of Maui!
