The crust for this recipe has a delightful coconut flavor because I use coconut oil instead of butter. The naturally occurring saturated fat in coconut oil is good for you and improves heart health, boosts your thyroid, increases metabolism, promotes weight loss, and supports the immune system. Combine that with the health benefits of lilikoi, and you have a traditional dessert bar that’s about as healthy as you can make. Makes 18, 3-inch bars. Continue Reading →

“We can’t really farm at the Kealia gardens anymore,” Hannah says mournfully. Her Chinese accent has a sweet, little girl lilt. Her husband is quiet, his English isn’t as strong as Hannah’s. “The nene (Hawaii’s endangered State bird) eat everything. The only thing they don’t eat is leeks and green onions, so that’s all we can plant there.” Continue Reading →
