Aloha fair foodies,
Brownie Points Blog is taking out some Hawaii time on the island of Oahu.
We’re in for the wedding of our Japan friends, with Oahu serving as the perfect middle meeting ground for Oregon and Japan- lucky us!
Several culinary gems have already revealed themselves to us: Portuguese doughnuts, amazing fish, and the best Chinese [...]
I’ve been using fruit smoothies to get in my daily fruit. The standard drink when I come home from work is usually frozen strawberries with soymilk and vanilla, though I’ve found a fun way to shake things up a bit: adding carbonated water.
