grocery yummies

Ok so I haven't gotten to eat out at any restaurants in the past couple days total BUMMER :( but I have been able to indulge in stuff I buy at Food Land like the following:

Don't know why its not straightened but anyways this is my new secret crush lol I can eat this bad boy in one sitting w/one BIG glass of milk lol

Have you tasted it??

Oh if you haven't you don't know what your missing :)

Today I was perusing through the store trying to figure out  what I was going to make for dinner. I came across the clearance section and saw some pasta. I LOVE TORTELLINI and when I saw a package I couldn't resist especially because it was only $2.50

I made some garlic alfredo sauce to compliment the pasta and it was a MATCH made in HEAVEN :) I felt like I was @ Bravo's if only there was garlic rolls lol 

Happy eating yall ;)

Kinda hungry after running the GAR

So we just finished running the Great Aloha Run and we had to go change our oil for our car. We stopped our usual spot for that Jiffy Lube in Pearl City. We were there pretty early so they did it pretty fast but while we were waiting we were trying to look for a place that had smoothies or frozen yogurt instead we found a place w/those bubble drinks......so we ordered:

We got the most popular flavor Honeydew

and mango

They were pretty good but, I still prefer Angel's one lol

We got these from a place called

They are new to this mini mall area and the food looked pretty good from the advertisements so...we couldn't resist we had to order lol

We ended up getting

Meat Jun w/mac salad tofu and salad beneath it

Not the best meat jun I ever tasted but it was alright...I had to at least try it, its one of my fav dishes

Loco moco w/corn, tofu and spring rolls

My fav spicy bbq pork YUMMY!

After having some lunch/breakfast we had to run some errands and started to feel that heat again and had came across a frozen yogurt place called

Some of the yummies you could add to your yogurt above and below

I got a cheesecake flavored yogurt, vanilla and red velvet

toppings I added was little pieces of cheesecake, some kind of pearl looking that was amazingly great, graham cracker crumbs granola and whipped cream

The above is the before and the below is the after

YUMMY!!!

This is a better pics of the pearl looking thing...its so cool because when you pop it in your mouth you taste it and then it just disappears. Its kind of hard to explain its one of those things you just have to taste lol

Anyways I had to drive home and I was so tired because I only slept 3 hours that night so I had me a

and my fav

What a day I got home and was POOPED!!! Don't know how I'm blogging this right now I need to be sleeping. Happy eating yall :)

Happy Presidents Day too

So today to start off my weekend a new place I had to try is a Japanese/French inspired pastry shop located @ Alamoana Shopping Center right next to Shirokiya on the outskirts of the mall.

             Unique, uh yeah! I heard about these jelly drinks that they have and I HAD to TRY IT! 

See the jelly at the bottom, the top part I decided to add soy milk $4.95. You can add soy milk or whole milk and whipped cream. You mix it and....

HEAVEN in a cup....btw this pairs well w/their custard cream puffs. BEST custard puffs EVER, PROMISE KINE lol

Some other things I got:

Keep in mind if you ever decide to go there I got 1 JELLY AU LAIT 1 cream puff, 1 caramel brulee and 1 acai cup and it came out to $15 so be prepared for the price if your willing to experience these fine desserts. I personally didn't care for the acai cup and the brulee needed to be torched at the top I could still taste the liquor that should have been burned right?....oh well too late lol

If I ever go back it would be to go and get another JELLY AU LAIT they were BOMB oh yeah and their CREAM PUFFS :)

It's always an awesome day when I get to try out a new place, so thankful that my hub lets me do it and grabs 

the bill every time  and so thankful for the internet to find these places 

Have a great day yall  and good eating ;)

BYUH Farmer's market

So I got an e-mail earlier this week that notified me about the farmers market happening at BYU-H. There menu included this Wagyu beef hamburger plate. I've never tasted it before and recently I've seen it a lot on menu's online. So, I thought to myself its worth a try right? For $7.98 you got a pretty big burger w/the perks: lettuce, tomato, sauteed onions, cheese, bacon and a side order of  roasted red potatoes. I really liked mine so much I bought 3 plates lol Ok, all 3 weren't for me just 1 the other 2 were for my husband and his friend who were cleaning our back yard. Nice gesture right? ;) keep working guys lol

My husband is so excited this year because our mango tree is flowering which means: MANGO season has arrived=happy family. We cut our tree last year to make room for our sons jumpers for his 1st bday and well we didn't get any mango's that season :( So after being patient were FINALLY going to get some this year!

Anyways I've got to rest up I've got to go work my butt off later today @ Zumba since I ate that HUGE burger...thanks for following :) good eating this weekend! I'll have more to show this weekend ;)

Farmers market @ Windward Mall

They have it every Wed and well today was my lucky day....well my hub had an emergency dentist apt because of a sore tooth and well he was lucky too because he wasn't charged a thing even thought we have no dental insurance lol So, while the hub was getting checked out I was perusing the food booths and Macy's HUGE sale YESSSS! It was so fun!

Here are some of the things I got to try:

There were chocolate nutella crepes, strawberry, banana and I think cinnamon. They were soooooo GOOD! We got 8 lol They add powdered sugar to it and OMG orgasmic!

The next one we went to was like a version of china town lol manapua's adobo, pork, hot dog, azuki bean you name it they had it. There was too much I couldn't fit it in my frame and there was so much people I couldn't back up enough to take a good pics so excuse the lousy pics...

I love these onion pastries....I always get them all the time. I think it might be a filipino pastry not sure

can't go wrong w/hot dogs for the kids

I wasn't full yet so I went by Ninja Sushi and got my favorite thing there:

Spicy Ahi Tuna salad:

Ok so I totally forgot to take a pics before I ate it so....this is close to the ending of my pig out session lol

The firs time I had this salad was in Mililani right next to the movie theater by Walmart and it looked more like an expensive salad and had better croutons and it was mostly spinach and the expensive dark green leafy lettuce. So to my surprise when I opened my box and saw this...??? I was like ughhhh what happened to my salad? Also the ahi wasn't even spicy it seemed like a cold ball of regular ahi...BLAH! Good thing there was a spicy dressing on the side that I poured all over lol

Next time I'm going to check with them before I order it. I really like their sushi but because I'm trying to cut back on rice....I try to get their salads obviously I'm not going to get it from windward anymore but I had to try it. After this JAHLOPYjunk  salad I washed it down with this drink I just tried today:

Some of my friends told me I had to try it. It was on sale and so I figured what the hell go for it. I personally don't like how aloe smells but I had to try it for myself since my friends swear that its good. The thing that got me was there is aloe pulp in it, you know like orange pulp in orange juice? So I took my first drink and I was actually surprised at how good it was. I'm not really a juice person but I liked it. I read the ingredient and there is only like 6 ingredients: water, aloe, cane sugar, honey, and vitamin c. The bottle is 2 servings and 1 serving is like 60 calories or something like that. Its worth a taste right? So go for it the next time you see it in the store.

Oh yeah and I forgot to mention on my way walking out I bought some of the bread/cracker I had at Ruth's Chris its called Sesame Lavosh

Its so yummy and light yet rich. Its hard to explain you just have to try it lol

Anyways that was my day of tasting :) Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

bye bye

Ruth's Chris for Vday

So we had a $100 gift card and this is on of my husband's favorite restaurants and so we went....of course we went crazy when we ordered but who wouldn't?

This is what we got:
First off we got bread/butter and a cream cheeseball of herbs and cheese w/these crispy cracker thing that is to die for!!! I could totally eat like 3 or 4 baskets of the crackers...its seriously YUMMO!

The appetizers that we wanted to try was the:
* "Rockefeller"the one in flames lol it was a mix of oysters/onions/cheese and spinach on an oyster shell
I think the real reason why I ordered this was because it had flames and sizzled(you know 2 things important in your love life ha ha ha ha ha) It wasn't great, it was alright. Would I order it again prob just to see the flames but it was missing something. I don't know if I needed a lemon to squeeze over it, some sweetness or some kind of heat. 

*The veal osso busso ravioli:Saffron-infused pasta filled with veal osso buco and fresh mozzarella cheese. Served with sautéed baby spinach and a white wine demi-glace
I loved this one, flavorful, lots of sauce and glad I tried it


*Seared Ahi Tuna:Perfectly complemented by a spirited sauce with hints of ginger, mustard and beer 
I've tasted better, it was cold, seemed like it was sitting in the fridge and the wasabi wasn't mixed well so it was slapping me in face lol

Main Dishes- Cow Boy Ribeye steak: One of the juciest steaks I've ever tasted 

 Garlic lamb chops: Seriously had a food orgasm eating this w/the sweet potato pie SERIOUS!!! The guests next to us were totally like wth!! lol

Sides- sweet potato pie w/peacan crust:A MUST! One of the best things I've ever ate

 Spinach salad: I don't think its necessary, you came to a steak house to eat MEAT right?

vanilla Haagen daz to wipe it all down

It was creamy, so this gets a thumbs up

I know I know I know...I need to get a camera because the IPHONE is not cutting it and is not doing the food justice at all....so don't worry I'll be getting one this month :)

After eating we stopped by star bucks and got a few things ;)

Then homeward bound we went...I had a great time!

Random eatings

My family and I were in town to visit my sister-in-law who just gave birth and we stumbled into a Food Land because my hub was complaining he was hungry and we were driving in circles looking for the hospital trying to go through the back roads. So, Food Land it was and as I was walking around marveling at all the good foods(keep in mind this was like a super food land not like the one close to my home in Laie) there was a poke station, salad bar all sorts of cool things.
I got a steak plate and wanted something sweet so I got:

It was pretty good but would have tasted better nice and warm. I've never seen this so I had to taste it. We kept walking and saw the poke station and me and my hub had to try some of this and some of that lol

We were very satisfied after our little trip. We then headed to the hospital content and ready to meet baby.

Baby boy of Falon & Francis Meredith 10Ibs 20z 22in long born @ Kapiolani Hospital 2/3/2011

Afterwards we went to Party City the new one in Kalihi and I was blown away by their selection. I felt like I was in a dream. I wanted to get everything there but I had to keep in mind I was trying to keep it simple lol Anyways this was much of the excitement that happend Thursday evening.

I will post more tonight after Hazel's bday party tonight. Happy Friday and to good eats to everyone! cheers:)
