Flash Back Thursday - Hawaii 2014

On May 28th 2014, my boyfriend and I went to Honolulu and Maui, Hawaii. It was one of the best trips of my life and it's hard to believe it's already been exactly a year since we went.

Here we are at the Los Angeles Airport...waiting for take off! I had been to the Big Island the year before and was excited to get to go again. Hawaii is my most favorite place on Earth.

 We landed in the Honolulu Airport. I will tell you, the air is so different from California air. I don't know how to explain it.

Incredibly beautiful water

The most delicious drinks you will ever have

The breakfasts were UNBELIEVABLE!

 I think I had the best coconut shrimp I've ever had in my life!

We went to this little whole in the wall place called 49ers...incredible food!

We went to the Dole Plantation and got their Pineapple Whip!

And had some lunch there....I got their chicken teriyaki. So good.

Went back to Tiki Joe's because I had to have more coconut shrimp!

Now we are in Maui

Lunch at Cheeseburger in Paradise. Yes it was heaven!

Sunset from our hotel condo from Maui

 Breakfast in Maui....benedict crab cakes...to die for!

Dinner at Koa.

Got this delicious frozen chocolate covered pineapple bar from a road side stand.

Dinner cruise

 Hawaiian ice. Too much sugar for me. Gave me some nasty stomach issues.

Back to Cheeseburger Paradise on our last day in Hawaii

 Last dinner in Hawaii....Mama's Fish House

Hated to say goodbye to this beautiful place. I'm still missing it everyday.

Beets done TWO ways - Vegetarian Style

First, I roasted golden and red beets. Then I made a Greek yogurt sauce to drizzle over them.

Then I  made a gluten free sandwich with Persian cucumbers, tomatoes, golden beets, and avocado

Delicious.
