Happy Halloween – Eat Local Maui Challenge

breakfast :: leftovers! 

lunch :: roasted turnips from Pono Grown Farms and rainbow chard greens gifted from a friend roasted in Olinda Olive Orchard oil and Pacifica Hawaii black lava salt. Persimmon gifted from my cousin Leilani at Protea Gardens of Maui. 

snack :: 3 jamaican lilikoi from woodworker guy at UpCountry Farmers Market. persimmon gifted from my cousin Leilani at Protea Gardens of Maui. slice of banana bread.

dinner :: 2 lau lau bundles from Keanae auntie who used Malama Farms pork and Kaenae lu’au and Hawaiian salt. Roasted white turnips from lunch above. 4 Honomu Goat Dairy caramels. 8 chocolates made with cocoa butter from Lavaloha Farms, cocoa powder from Lavaloha Farms, honey from Maui Bees, vanilla extract (beans from Locavore Store + honey mead distilled moonshine).
