I'm so glad a bunch of you have tried some of my recipes; I love hearing from those of you who do! Cooking and baking are a huge passion of mine. Here's one I tweeted about awhile back, but forgot to share.
One of the best salads in my life was at Merriman's on the Big Island. That rolling drive away from the shore and over to the restaurant was completely worth the amazing tropical salad I had. Mine had grilled shrimp on it and I think this recipe would also welcome that addition. Is it summer yet?
