Mahalo, Summer!

Wrapping up the season with snippets from our island getaway and end-of-summer recipes.

Hi Bakers!

While it was one of the warmer days of the year today, it feels like summer is starting to wind down. I see that plenty of kids are back in school (mine don’t return until after Labor Day), but with our summer holiday behind us, I know things will be changing soon.

My family and I just returned from a week in Hawaii. It was a wonderful trip to celebrate the life of my grandfather. He was born in the small town of Kahuku on the North Shore of Oahu, and I am so grateful to be able to bring all my children back to where our family began. We spent the week mostly in the warm water, eating from the amazing local food trucks and farms, visiting with cousins, and finding bits of relaxation.
