Waianuhea Bead and Breakfast is no longer in business but this breakfast recipe is still delicious!
What baby boomer traveler doesn’t love to eat? Trying recipes at home, based on regional dishes that you’ve experienced on the road, is a great way to keep the travel memories alive.
From time to time, I share recipes from my travels, contributed by the great chefs and cooks that I meet along the way. Here’s a favorite created by Randy Goff from Waianuhea Bed and Breakfast (now closed) located on the Big Island of Hawaii.
I’ve already told you about the outstanding breakfasts at Waianuhea Bed and Breakfast (now closed). Besides a hot main course, each morning meal was accompanied by homemade bread.
My favorite? Randy Goff’s delicious creation that was chock full of fresh coconut, macadamia nuts, carrots, and zucchini—all organic and locally produced. Randy has graciously shared her recipe with me to share with you.
