Almost two years ago, I spent a fabulous two weeks on the islands of Kauai and Maui. I had the great fortune of enjoying many wonderful meals at many different restaurants. Of course, two weeks at two islands isn't nearly enough time to sample even a fraction of the culinary delights offered. One of the fabulous restaurants that my husband and I missed is Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar. However, after conducting the Best Restaurant in the Pacific Hawaii Region poll, I was able to interview Chef DK Kodoma, who is also the owner of this restaurant, and

With a flock of fourteen chickens, rarely do we lack eggs at our house. Gathering about nine eggs a day on average, there are plenty to be used for cooking, baking, and as breakfast dishes.

I have been baking scones for over a decade. They're an often requested breakfast dish and a favorite among family and friends. Depending on which person you ask, the best scone filling varies: blueberry/white chocolate chip, cinnamon chip, chocolate chip. As you can see from this list, I have stayed with the sweet style of scones.
For a while now, I've considered making a scone that ventured into the savory side. My husband, especially, has shown an interest in trying a scone of this fashion. With a delayed Father's Day celebration occurring just the other week, it seemed the perfect time
