Sushi Bake
This savory, satisfying sushi bake recipe is a local favorite in Hawaii. It's the only thing I make to take to parties anymore. Even at a smaller gathering, the baking dish is empty at the end of the night. Like most casseroles, this dish is very forgiving, so don't sweat it if you can't find an ingredient or aren't sure about the quantities.
Avocado Gazpacho
Chunks of fresh avocado are combined with a fresh, bright broth to make a refreshing chilled soup.
Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
I made these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies by modifying Beatrice's Excellent Oatmeal Cookies recipe. My boyfriend went crazy over them! I've never seen him enjoy cookies to that extent! He said I blew his mother's recipe away.
