Hawaii

The 50th and final state admitted into the Union, Hawaii is a series of islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It is the furthest south of any U.S. state, further south than the Florida Keys, on roughly the same latitude as Cuba. The first human arrivals to the islands appeared more than 1,000 years ago, having island hopped from Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Polynesians brought pigs and chickens. In the 18th Century, Captain Cook brought cows, goats, and horses. Edible plants like taro, sweet potato, coconut, pineapples, and sugarcane were all brought to the islands to be cultivated in the rich volcanic soils. Today, Hawaii is known for growing coffee, macadamia nuts (originally from Australia), sweet Maui onions, pineapples, Ahi tuna, and sugar cane. But perhaps Hawaii is best known for the luau, a traditional feast that centers on the roasted pig, which is buried in the ground and cooked slowly over white-hot stones.

Cream Cheese Frosting II

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by luvinnout
This was the first time I've ever made frosting and it turned out delicious. I used this frosting with the cake balls recipe.

Cake Balls

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by luvinnout
These are very good. I made these with the Betty Crocker chocolate fudge cake mix and the cream cheese frosting recipe from off this website dipped in white chocolate. I was having a cupcake themed birthday party so I found this idea on a website (http://bakerella.blogspot.com/2008/01/chocolate-cupcake-lollipops.html) and shaped them into baby sized cupcakes instead of balls and dipped the tops of them with white chocolate and sprinkles and m and m's for the cherry...then I put them on the ends of a sucker stick, so then they looked like suckers.

Raspberry Lemon Muffins

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by Sara
These were interesting--very GOOD interesting, that is! I made a few *slight* changes: I used sour cream in place of the yogurt (I didn't have any on hand) and omitted the sugar on top of the muffins. I also doubled the amount of lemon juice. I felt that the muffins could have used a LOT more lemon juice and zest. The raspberry flavor was powerful but I could barely taste any lemon. I love that these are so low in fat and they really finish well. I do have to admit- after the first few bites I took, I was not impressed. They are a bit plain, which is why I think they need more lemon juice. However, these muffins really grow on you after a while, and I even started craving them! So, give these a chance and you'll love them too! Thanks for the recipe.
