So I’m traveling in my second home of Oahu when my Sister and Law and wife said we had to make a lunch stop at a great little place just 10 min. from Sandy’s beach.
Sweet Home Waimanalo doesn’t look like much from the outside with two parking spots and 4 park bench style seating in front, but the smell coming out of their slow cooker was amazing.
Warning: There is bread in the above photo but you can still enjoy this recipe without the loving embrace of Hawaiian sweet rolls.
Ok so this past weekend we decided to check out a cook book that came with our Christmas gift (a slow cooker): Williams-Sonoma “Slow Cooker”
I know it’s been a week since the last post (or more) and I’ve been doing a lot of eating and documenting, so expect to see some cool videos and “On the Grind” reviews next week.
I wanted to post my lunch from the other day which was super easy to put together because it was made of 100% left overs. The chicken came from a rotesiere Chicken we baught for dinner, the bacon was pre fried a couple days ago and the spinage and onions were in the fridge. 5 minutes to prepare and even shorter amount of time to eat.
Make packing form home easy by having plenty of left overs and experiment with throwing fun salads together (I rarly use the words fun and salad together).
The simpler it is, the easier it is to stick with it. Now go raid the fridge and make something.
This place is a hidden gem in Costa Mesa. The Old Vine Cafe located in “The Camp” under Bikram Yoga is my go-to place on the weekend for a great breakfast. I’ve been going to the Old Vine Cafe for the past two years and I get the exact same thing each time the Omelet Espana; Egg, Artichoke, mushrooms, bell pepers, etc.
Shabu Shabu or Hot pot is a style of dinning where you cook thinly sliced beef (or other meats; pork, crab, chicken, etc.) cooked in a pot along with a variety of vegetables. Shabu Shabu is a great year round meal.
This past weekend we ventured into California Shabu Shabu located off of Baker and Bristol in Costa Mesa.
