Go-To Guacamole

One of my favorite things about going home is eating all of my favorite foods my Mom makes. One of the staples in our house is southwestern food like tacos, chili, enchiladas and fajitas, so guacamole is made almost weekly to eat with whatever we’re having. While I love my mom’s recipe for guacamole and could easily eat a whole bowl of it by myself, it does have onions in it which I am no longer able to have. This recipe is my own version, based off of hers with a little twist to make it almost as good.

Hawaiian Pineapple Pork Bowl

This summer, our family took a two-week-long trip to Hawaii to celebrate my parent’s 35th anniversary. While in Hawaii, I loved trying all of the fresh fruit and Asian-inspired foods that you can’t normally get on the Mainland. One of my favorites was the Kalua Egg Rolls from The Hideout in Waikiki, located at The Laylow hotel, where we stayed while in Honolulu. They were filled with Kalua pork, pineapple jam, and island coleslaw. This is my healthier and easier to make version of those egg rolls, but if you’re ever in Waikiki, definitely try the original.
