Maui-Style Onion Seared Ahi

I had the time of my life on the vacation of my dreams. I was fortunate to be able to knock one item off of my ever-growing bucket list: a trip to the island of Maui in Hawaii. During my trip, I stayed at a beautiful resort amongst some of the top hotels in Maui. The sights and sounds were as if I was temporarily living in a fantasy. Hawaii is known for their beautiful beaches and tropical shores, but it is also a mecca for delicious tropical dishes. While staying in Maui, I made reservations at the Lahaina Grill Restaurant. When my plate arrived, the entrée that I selected, the onion-seared ahi, was to die for! The dish was so good that I just had to try making it for myself at home. If the pleasure experienced by my taste buds was any indication, I knew that this would be one dish that would definitely impress my friends back home on the east coast.

Time for Action: Moms and Marketing to Kids Don’t Mix

On February 10, 2012, Ronald McDonald held court in a packed elementary school auditorium. Ronald was visiting the Lexington, Kentucky elementary school as part of his sweep of that state. The visits are meant to teach “the value of leadership and community involvement,” says Ronald, and kick off fundraising drives for Ronald McDonald Houses. According to WheresRonald.com, he’s planning to visit at least 117 more schools there this year. What mom would imagine you send your kid off to school only to discover an all-school assembly has turned into an advertisement opportunity for a fast food chain? Today, junk food marketing happens in so many places, and in so many ways, that it’s often behind parents’ backs and beyond our control. This school assembly is just one way McDonald’s does marketing. read more....

Consumer advocacy groups say if your baby formula contains, soy, corn or dairy, there is a good chance it also contains genetically modified ingredients. Unlike 60 other countries, the United States does not require formula or food companies to let you know they are using genetically modified ingredients on the label.
