Ono Broiled Sushi

Published on October 17, 2006

Ono Broiled Sushi is another yummy recipe that I got from my friend Lori. I had to put this recipe in Da Original set, cuz it definitely is a winner and a hit at all the potlucks! Eaten with crispy Korean nori (seaweed) makes it addicting! Be warned that you may not have […]


Sunday BBQ

Published on October 1, 2006

This Artichoke Dip has always been a favorite of my kids from when they were a lot younger … it must be all that cheese! What kid doesn’t like cheese? The only thing about this, is the more cheese you put on the top … the more it will harden as it cools. I […]


So You Think You Can Salsa?

Published on July 19, 2006

There are so many different variations of salsa but this Ono Corn Salsa is a little unique. The original recipe was from It’s Chili In Hawaii on King St. I modified it a little using a different sauce. It has fresh vegetables, canned corn and the only sauce that I use is the Thai […]


Spicy Soybeans

Published on May 29, 2006

I love edamame (soybeans)! My friend Lori gave me this recipe for Spicy Soybeans and whenever I make it, everyone enjoys it. I ate a version of it at Pineapple Room, but I think Lori’s version is much tastier and so ‘finger licking’ good. It is very addicting … but what the heck, soybeans […]


Nori Edamame

Published on April 18, 2006

I remember seeing a super simple recipe for soybeans that were mixed with Nori Tsukudani (seaweed cooked in soy sauce, sugar and mirin). Since I love soybeans, I thought I’d try it.
Use the shelled edamame (soybeans) and just add a spoonful of tsukudani of your liking. I think the recipe said […]


Drunken Shrimp with No Hangover !

Published on March 4, 2006

This Drunken Shrimp is such a yummy pupu (appetizer)! My brother, Glenn, always makes this when we get together for potluck dinners at his home. You must use the small shrimp (51-60 count) since the shell is much thinner. It is marinated with flour, Hawaiian salt, pepper and of course, Gin! There is […]


Sun Dried Tomato Dip

Published on December 8, 2005

The Sun-Dried Tomato Dip is so creamy and yummy! Its a nice change from your usual clam dip or onion dip. I love eating this with pita chips but it is delicious with tortilla chips too. I even used it as a sandwich spread when making a turkey panini sandwich. It gave it a […]


Are You Nuts For Nuts?

Published on

Swedish Nuts are a sweet, buttery and crunchy treat for your palate. Just be warned that it is very addicting. Once you start munching them, you’ll be surprised that you are quickly at the bottom of the container. You can also use it to top your favorite salad.
This would make a great homemade […]
