Jerry's Pizza Mill

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 10:00:00 +0000

It's been over a decade since I last went to Jerry's Pizza Mill. Although the pizza shop is a lot smaller now, they still dish out great food & service.

In addition to pizzas, they have subs, salads, pastas, and more!

Jalapeno Poppers

Garlic Bread

The Jalapeno Poppers were good, and the Garlic Bread, although it looked plain, was quite garlicky!

Waialua - pepperoni, sausage, ham, mushrooms

Jerry's - pepperoni, pineapple, jalapeno, garlic

Portuguesa - ham, onion, boiled egg, olive

BBQ Chicken - BBQ chicken, onions, cilantro

Although I think a couple of the pizzas could've used a bit more cook time and could have had a bit more char on the crust, they were all tasty. My favorite was the Waialua.

Service was very friendly and accommodating.

Jerry's is a great neighborhood pizza spot!

The Vintage Hawaii

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 10:00:00 +0000

I feel like Wahiawa is an epicenter of thrifted & vintage finds, with a number of amazing shops & even garage sales selling antiques, memorabilia, retro furniture, and more.

We stopped at The Vintage Hawaii, and we were waxing nostalgic about a lot of what we saw there — dishes, sewing machines, and a rice dispenser our parents / grandparents had.

The shop has remodeled (photos taken before the remodel).

It's a great place to check out for fun and unique finds!

Green & Fit Mama Superfood Bars

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 10:00:00 +0000

I finally got to try some Green & Fit Mama Superfood Bars!

I picked up a variety at the Mililani Farmers Market.

Each bar is packed with healthy, nutritious ingredients, and they taste yummy! They are made from scratch, and gluten-, grain-, soy-, peanut-, and dairy-free!

Vanilla Mango

Activated Charcoal

Cacao

Blue Spirulina

What I think is interesting about the bars is that you eat them frozen (they are not hard to bite into) - talk about the perfect summer treat! My kids loved them too!

Farmers Market Salsas Taste-Test: Andy's Bueno Salsa vs Da Tomato Guy

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We did an unofficial, just for fun taste-test between two Farmers market Salsas - Andy's Bueno Salsa vs Da Tomato Guy (got them both from the Mililani Farmers Market).

We got Andy's Cilantro Salsa and Da Tomato Guy's Mild Salsa.

We scored each salsa based on factors such as flavor, consistency, and ranked them based on overall favorite.

Both were great salsas, and they each scored high, with some favoring Da Tomato Guy and others favoring Andy's, but Da Tomato Guy beat out Andy's Bueno Salsa by just 4 points.

It was a fun and tasty activity!

An Evening of Flavor and Dance at Four Seasons Resort O‘ahu

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 10:00:00 +0000

I was thrilled to have been invited to An Evening of Flavor and Dance at the Four Seasons Resort O‘ahu. This collaboration with Ballet Hawaii showcased the artistry of both the culinary team at Noe and the dancers of Ballet Hawai‘i, as performances enchanted guests between thoughtfully-crafted courses.

I have been a fan of Noe since the resort opened (it is my favorite restaurant on the island), and the food was amazing, as expected.

And to be so close to the talented and elegant ballet dancers while they performed really gave us a greater appreciation of their finesse and strength, as they did pirouettes and hops en pointe while dancing amongst trees and guests.

The food and dance transitioned seamlessly throughout the night.

Hokkaido Uni Toast | Milk Bread, Umami Brown Butter, Cremosa Ricotta, Finger Limes, and Chive Oil

‘Ahi Carpaccio | Smoked ‘Ahi Tonnato, Charred Hearts of Palm, Sea Asparagus Salsa Verde, Taggiasca Olives, Caper Berries, and Ho Farms Radishes

Maldera Buffalo Mozzarella with Mezzaluna Ravioli | Artichokes, Lion's Mane Mushroom, 36-Month White Cow Modenese, and Black Winter Truffle

Porcini-Crusted Snake River Farms Filet Mignon | Delicata Squash, Kupu Farms Micro Cress, Kabocha Squash Purée, Porcini, Foie Gras Emulsion, and Marsala Veal Jus

Pavlova | Whipped Laie Vanilla Panna Cotta, Roasted Strawberries, Lilikoi Curd, and White Chocolate Dust

It was such a special, unique event!

Visit Anchorage: 49th State Brewing

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 10:00:00 +0000

49th State Brewing is one of the busiest restaurants in Anchorage. With multiple floors and outdoor seating, the huge space was always packed with a line whenever we passed by.

The restaurant was also where I had my favorite meal while in Alaska.

King Crabby Grilled Cheese

The King Crabby Grilled Cheese with a seafood chowder was the highlight. The sandwich consisted of a crab meat blend, Appenzeller Swiss, and cream cheese. The chowder was amazing, as well as the accompanying Brewpub fries. It was comfort food at its finest.

Award Winning Smoked Wings

World Famous Yak Burger

Crab Artichoke Dip

Baked Mac-N-Cheese

Highly recommend adding steak and bacon to the Baked Mac-N-Cheese (extra charge) for a hearty meal.

Mexican Street Corn

We loved everything, and the service was excellent too.

Okayama Kobo Bakery & Cafe

noreply@blogger.com (Nat) — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 10:00:00 +0000

I had some time to kill and decided to finally stop by Okayama Kobo Bakery & Cafe in Ward Village. I’ve driven past this place so many times, and there always seems to be a line out the door. Today was no exception. Thankfully, the line actually moved at a pretty good pace. But let me tell you…the smell while you're waiting is torture! With all those freshly baked breads and pastries coming out, it definitely makes it hard to decide what to get.

We ended up picking up a small variety to try:

Cinnamon Roll

Salt & Butter Roll

Chocolate Croissant

Kobo Kuma (Bear-Shaped Custard Bun)

Everything we tried was delicious, and the bread is so pillowy soft!

The bear-shaped bread was especially cute, with a sweet custard filling inside.

It's definitely on the pricier side for bakery items, but the quality and taste are there. Sometimes you just have to treat yourself!

I'm glad I finally stopped in after driving past it so many times. Now I understand why there's always a line—and I'll definitely be back for more!

Nori Bar - Ward Village

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 10:00:00 +0000

I met up with some friends at Nori Bar at Ward Village. Even though I don't eat a lot of raw fish, I was fine meeting up with them there since I knew there were non-raw fish items on the menu.

I ended up getting the Tonkotsu Ramen. It was so delicious — one of the best ramens I've had in a while! My friend ended up getting one too even though she was nearly full from eating a few hand rolls.

Tonkotsu Ramen

Maguro Avocado Roll

Blue Crab - Truffle Kanimiso

A5 Miyazaki Wagyu

It's a small eatery with just a few counter seats, and there really is no service staff - at least there wasn't when we were there, because no one ever refilled our waters.

The food was good though (one of my friends said the nori was excellent), and I was pleasantly surprised by just how delicious the ramen was!

The last time I went to Hi Pie Bakery & Cafe, they were still in Waialua. I finally got to visit their Haleiwa spot, and I picked up some cookies and a cheesecake!

"The Best" Chocolate Chip Cookie

The cookies were chewy on the inside, with a sight crisp on the outside - just the way I like them!

OREO Cheesecake

The OREO Cheesecake was luscious and rich. It was very good.

I look forward to visiting again!

Noe at Four Seasons Ko Olina

noreply@blogger.com (Nat) — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Our Mommy Lunch Bunch got together to celebrate our MLB member and Hawaii Mom Blog Lifestyle Correspondent Nadia’s 50th birthday. Since this was such a special milestone, we decided to take her somewhere special — Noe at Four Seasons Ko Olina.

When choosing a restaurant, I also had to keep in mind that one of our MLB ladies is gluten-free. Thankfully, Noe offers gluten-free pasta that can be substituted in their pasta dishes, which made choosing a place a lot easier!

My friend was craving the main lobster tail, but it normally comes with gnocchi. She asked if they could substitute the gnocchi with the gluten-free pasta, and they were happy to accommodate her.

The birthday girl and I both ordered the rigatoni, while our other MLB member ordered Noe’s signature tagliatelle (sorry, I didn't get a picture of this dish!). All three dishes were excellent!

While we waited for our entrees, we were served their house bread with olive oil — perfect for holding us over until our food arrived.

Of course, no birthday dinner is complete without dessert! The restaurant brought out a cute slice of cake with a candle for Nadia, but she also wanted to order her favorite dessert from Noe — the warm olive oil cake. And lucky for us, it happens to be gluten-free, so we could all enjoy it together.

Noe really is a beautiful spot for a special occasion. We saw quite a few people celebrating with leis, as well as couples who looked like they were enjoying a special date night. The setting at Four Seasons definitely makes it feel like a place to celebrate.

Parking: Valet parking only, but it’s free with restaurant validation for up to 4 hours.

"Old School" Sandwiches - Corned Beef & Mayo

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 10:00:00 +0000

One day someone told me about mixing corned beef straight from the can with mayo to make sandwiches, which I never heard of.

I searched online and found an entire thread of how this was an “old school” thing locally (Libby's + Best Foods).

So, we decided to try that sandwich (added some onion), along with egg, tuna, and bologna sandwiches — the kinds of sandwiches many of us ate back in the day.

I couldn't believe it, but the corned beef + mayo sandwiches turned out to be the fave of all the sandwiches.

It was a fun lunch experiment!

Breakfast at San Paolo Pizzeria

noreply@blogger.com (nadiablogs) — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 23:19:12 +0000

Eggs Benedict

Known for their AYCE pizza dinners, San Paulo Pizzeria is also open for breakfast Friday through Monday. Located in the former Outback Steakhouse on Ala Moana Blvd., San Paulo serves classic American breakfast dishes like eggs benedicts and omelets, but also features a signature Brazilian breakfast as well as salads, sandwiches, and pastas.

The restaurant is large and spacious, and the service was friendly and attentive. I had the slow cooked beef short rib eggs benedict, and it was delicious! I also enjoyed the pancakes which were cooked perfectly - fluffy with a crisp edge.

Visit Alaska: Potter Marsh

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 10:00:00 +0000

On our first full day in Alaska, we went to Potter Marsh in hopes of seeing moose.

As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, I saw a bunch of people crowding around something, and I wondered if it was a moose.

And it was!

It munched on greens near the lot, as the crowd looked on.

After several minutes of watching the moose and taking photos, we started the walk along the boardwalk.

There were overlooks where you could see all sorts of birds.

We saw this pretty tree swallow!

At one end of the boardwalk, there was someone with a telescope who said we could look through to see a bald eagle in its nest. I'm not sure if he worked for the Department of Fish & Game or was just someone who frequented the area to look for wildlife, but he also mentioned that the moose we saw is a young bull that started coming around two weeks prior.

He also mentioned that because it was unseasonally still cold and not much greens were around for moose to eat, they haven't been coming around to the marsh as frequently.

I felt quite lucky we saw a moose!

Mille Fête

noreply@blogger.com (Nat) — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 10:00:00 +0000

I recently stopped by Mille Fête in Chinatown, which is in the space where Little Village Noodle House used to be. Little Village was one of my favorite Chinese restaurants, so it was fun to see what was there now.

I actually came in with a mission: I needed to pick up a special box of treats for a friend I was meeting for dinner that night. Once I walked in, though, I knew I was in the right place. Everything was so beautifully displayed, and there were so many pretty desserts to choose from. I hand-picked a few treats for my friend and then, of course, the boys spotted the frozen treats.

We ended up trying the Raspberry Lychee Rose Sorbet and the Rocky Road. Both were rich and flavorful, but also really refreshing on a hot summer day. Definitely a good way to cool off!

And because I apparently hadn't bought enough, I decided to get a slice of the Passion Fruit-Orange-Guava Cake to take home. At $16 a slice, it was definitely a splurge, but YOLO! I brought it home and shared it with my significant other. He really liked it—but I purposely left out how much that one slice cost.

Mille Fête is definitely a good place to keep in mind when you need something a little special. Just be prepared to splurge a little!

It had been years since I last visited Izakaya Danji, so it was nice to be back — especially with friends! One of my friends and his wife come here often, so they took the lead with ordering, and everything was shared family-style. I have to say, sometimes it’s really nice to let someone else take over the ordering!

The food came out pretty quickly, and everything we tried was amazing. My favorites were definitely the chicken wings, sashimi, and corn. The corn was especially good!

We had the tan tan udon to close out the meal, which had quite a kick. Even though my friend requested a 0.5 spice level, it was still spicy!

It was a great night of good food, good friends, and lots of sharing.

Parking: There’s a small parking lot available, or you can park along S. Beretania after 5:30 p.m.

Forgotten Island Now in Theaters!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 10:00:00 +0000

About the film:

Your best friendship is worth fighting for.

DreamWorks Animation, the studio that brought you unforgettable bonds between a boy and a dragon in How to Train Your Dragon, an ogre and a donkey in Shrek, and a robot and a gosling in The Wild Robot, now welcomes a dazzling and emotional story about two lifelong best friends who must come together before they drift apart in Forgotten Island.

The new original film is written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado and is produced by Academy Award® nominee Mark Swift, the filmmaking team behind Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

Grammy and Academy Award® winning supernova H.E.R. and Liza Soberano (Lisa Frankenstein, Alone/Together) star as high school graduates Jo and Raissa, who have been best friends since grade school but are now about to embark on separate life paths.

While celebrating their last night together, Jo and Raissa stumble upon a mysterious portal that transports them to the fantastical island of Nakali, packed with magical and mythological creatures they grew up hearing stories about from their Filipino families.

Some of these figures will become friends, some foes. Joined by well-meaning-but- hapless weredog Raww (Dave Franco) and a small-but-mighty pack of pals, Jo and Raissa must face The Dreaded Manananggal (Tony winning icon Lea Salonga), the most feared creature on the island. When they discover that the memories of their entire friendship are the price for returning home, Jo and Raissa will race to find a way to leave the island before they forget each other forever.

The film’s all-star voice cast also includes Emmy nominee Jenny Slate (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Dying for Sex), Manny Jacinto (The Good Place, Top Gun: Maverick), BAFTA nominee Dolly de Leon (Triangle of Sadness, Ghostlight), global comedy superstar Jo Koy (Haunted Mansion, Jo Koy: Live from Brooklyn) and Emmy winner Ronny Chieng (The Daily Show, M3GAN).

Forgotten Island is a fun movie rooted in Filipino culture. Being of Filipino ancestry myself, I found many scenes relatable, and I love that the movie put a spotlight on Filipino culture, featuring Filipino language, foods, and traditions.

There were many funny moments throughout the film, and although at times the humor felt forced or went over some people's heads, lots of laughter filled the theater. My youngest son noted how there were lots of pop culture references, and I especially appreciated the soundtrack.

The messages of memories, family, and friendships throughout Forgotten Island transcend cultures and apply to everyone of all ages.

Forgotten Island is now in theaters!

Roy's Ko Olina is a fave of mine. We’ve always had outstanding service there, and a recent visit only exemplified the service level there.

When our food arrived, everyone’s dishes were placed in front of them except for mine — I was given a salad, which I didn’t order. Turns out, the chicken sandwich I ordered was taking longer than expected, so they gave me a salad to eat while I waited for it.

Most other places would have just apologized for the wait — and that would've been totally fine with me, because keeping guests informed is key IMO, but the Roy's team took it a step further, and I really appreciated that gesture.

The last time I went to Haleiwa Beach House was in 2019, and I commented that the service was painfully slow, and it would be a while before I returned again.

Well, I finally returned, and can happily say that service was so much better this time around.

Although the menu hasn't changed much over the decade it's been open, I like that my faves are still on the menu - the Kālua Pork Grilled Cheese and Beach House Fries.

Visit Alaska: Kincaid Park

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We went to Kincaid Park primarily because I was hoping to see moose (it was mentioned frequently in forums and social media groups as a popular moose-sighting park). We didn't see any moose, but it was such a nice park to visit for easy hiking trails and pretty views.

We partially did one of the trails, but it was way too cold for us the evening we visited (in the 40s), so we didn't walk very far.

There are playgrounds, a soccer field, various lookout points, disc toss stations, and more.

Hopefully we can visit again one day when it's warmer so we can explore more of the park.

Club Pilates Mililani

noreply@blogger.com (nadiablogs) — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:00:00 +0000

When I heard Club Pilates was coming to Mililani, I knew I had to join! In the past I had driven to Haleiwa for pilates and Kapolei for yoga, but those distances were keeping me from being consistent with my workouts. Having a Club Pilates right in my neighborhood is incredibly convenient and having a membership is keeping me accountable.

Now that I have taken 12 classes, here is what | love. The instructors are friendly and great.

Some are tougher than others, but all want you to develop good form and succeed. I love the different types of classes and the people I meet in them. I love that we are all normal people showing up for ourselves. Anyone and everyone can benefit from pilates, which strengthens your core and improves posture. I am officially in my pilates era!

I was excited that @cocoscravings808 recently popped up nearby so I could once again enjoy Cocobonz!

I was never really a fan of cinnamon rolls until Nat gave me a box of Cocobonz a few years ago.

They are made with milk bread dough, so they are very light and fluffy. A cinnamon + brown sugar + butter mixture is incorporated throughout, with a butter cream cheese whip for that indulgent finish.

Mad Pie

noreply@blogger.com (Nat) — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Madly Craving Pizza: Our First Visit to Mad Pie

It was Labor Day Monday, and my husband had a mad craving for pizza. The pizza place he really wanted to go to was closed on Mondays. So I did what I usually do when we need a Plan B—I started searching Yelp.

That’s how I came across Mad Pie in Kakaʻako. I had never been before, but the pictures looked good, so we decided to give it a try.

As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by a display of pizzas and cannolis. And let me tell you, everything looked GOOD.

It definitely got us excited to see what we were going to order.

The boys immediately knew what they wanted—cheese pizza, of course. My husband went with the Spinach Garlic Tomato slice, and I ordered the Fungo, which came highly recommended. We also decided to get a Caesar salad to share.

The salad came out first, which was nice to snack on while we waited for our pizza slices to come out of the oven. The only thing I would change next time is asking for the dressing on the side. It was a little heavy on the dressing for my taste.

Then the pizza arrived and we dove right in. The crust is made with sourdough, and it was exactly how I like my pizza crust: thin and crispy. The Fungo was delicious, and my husband was very happy with his choice too.

Even the boys, who are pretty predictable when it comes to pizza, loved their cheese slices. And apparently, they loved my crust too because they kept asking for pieces of it!

For dessert, I had my eye on the cannoli. I wanted to try the plain vanilla, so we ordered one to share. Well, the boys took one look in the box and decided they both wanted it, so they split it right down the middle and loved it.

They were nice enough to let me have a small bite so I could taste it—and yep, delish! I may have to get my own next time.

I'm really glad we ended up trying Mad Pie. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely go back!
