The Best Acai bowl EVER!

I'm lately obsessed with acai bowls for breakfast or lunch. After taking my kids to the park with my dearest friend Sarah she suggested we stop at a place called the "Health Bar" for some grinds. It's in Kapahulu in a tiny shopping center in the back of Kapahulu on the corner of Kana'ina and Monsarrat....
From the outside I thought it was a health food store but little did I know the awesome wonder I was about to sink my tastebuds into. There's not a lot to look at inside either so you're not missing much there. However, once you try this acai bowl you will be hooked....forever!

Behold!!!! THE MANA BOWL...This heavenly and healthy contains: blended frozen acai, mixed berries, strawberries, bananas, granola and honey and bee pollen. That's it! Who knew a wanna-be goji berry from the Amazon could taste so awesome. I mean sooooooo AWESOME. The granola they use is scrumptious and they put just enough honey and the acai taste is perfect....mmmm, I wanna go get one right now.



If you listen to radio in Hawaii....as Taka would say," Looks Onoricious!"

I'm definetly into eating...I'll never be rail thin, darn

I had been hearing about the awesome little bakery, "Hokulani Bake Shop." And cupcakes are the new couture in cake lately so I decided to try them out for my BFF's wedding shower. This was the most awesome cupcake...or even cake for that matter. I ordered the Guittard Chocolate with chocolate frosting. It just explodes with the most awesome chocolate taste in your mouth. And there are even these tiny little chips of chocolate in the cake itself...and the frosting...I want a tub of it to smother on my eggs and steak even.
These are the cupcakes that I had made for Kalani's 3rd birthday. The frosting on top is meant to look like fire cause his theme was fire trucks. They did a pretty good job. I ordered 30 and gave out 20 and my husband and I loved them so much that we horded the last 9 for ourselves.....mmmmmmmm-mmmmm!

This is a random thought: I love it when I buy something and it is filled to the top. It's always these little things that make you happy. We bought this honey and when I went to take off the freshy-seal it was full to the top and I felt satisfied that I got my money's worth. Thanks honey!


So once I opened the honey I had to make my favorite power breakfast!
Greek Yogurt Num-Num:
1/2 cup plain Fage greek yogurt (preferably o% fat)
3 large strawberries cut into small chunks
big handful of your fave granola (Quaker rocks or "Eating Right" brand from Safeway)
small handful of raisins (if you like raisins)
big drizzle of honey over the whole thing
TADA!

DO SOMETHING AWESOME AND FUN TODAY!
