A couple of days ago, I got the news that my cousin had moved to Hawaii. Jen has always been a true Island Girl. Yes, that’s Jen as in the Broccoli Salad I posted a couple of posts back. I have invited her to Guest Post as she is a great cook and an amazing photographer…I am so looking forward to what she has to contribute!!

The cooking of Hawaii is amazing and historical – fresh produce and fresh fish, the Japanese influence to the strange, intriguing influence of WWII, aka Spam.

I want to share the contrasting beauty of our very different landscapes.

This mountain picture is my very favorite – when I sent it to people I had to say “This is not a postcard!”

This is the picture that Jenny sent me. You can just imagine feeling the warm, balmy ocean breeze.

Both are stunningly beautiful in their own way! I wish Jenny all the happiness in the world in her Island Adventure.
