Every Friday on any island of Hawaii, it’s Aloha Friday.
Friday on the islands is similar to casual Friday on the mainland. The day of the week where the feeling is laid-back, leisurely, and looking forward to the weekend. Aloha wear is often worn too.
This weekend it’s Cinco de Mayo, so our weekend meals will honor and be inspired by one of my favorite countries and its food, Mexico.
Here are a few of my favorite Mexican inspired recipes…

This is one of the first real cocktails I ever drank, and still one of my all time favorites, especially when Michael makes it…
