Hawaiian Fried Rice
If you're like me you have half a ham left over from Easter. Ham sandwiches are awesome but you can only eat so many before you begin to resent them. My mom will take the bone and make some sort of amazing ham and bean concoction that would feed an army. I however, opted for fried rice.
Ingredients:
I love rice. I grew up eating rice three times a day! We even had it for snacks (porridge, cake, etc.) Growing up in a tropical country, with japanese, spanish and chinese infused dishes as our staple, this Hawaiian Fried Rice recipe definitely aroused my interest. It's like having summer in your plate!

This is a fun, easy and quick way to serve fruit for snack or dessert! You can always change the combination so you and your family won’t get tired of it. There are so many fruit options available from strawberries, peaches, avocado, pomegranates, banana, apples and more. You can use fresh milk one day and greek or fruit yogurt the next.
Here are some of the combination, of course, served in my very useful whisky glasses!

Smooth Avocado & Cream
Do you remember this smooth, creamy and think avocado shake that my family loves? Well, we found another way of enjoying it. It’s really so easy! Just prepare the avocado shake as seen here. Also, whip some whipping cream with a bit of vanilla extract, lemon and orange zest. Pour the avocado shake in the whisky glass. Pour some whipped cream on top of the avocado shake for a pretty layer. And top with your toppings of choice: cherry, strawberries, chocolate, etc.
You will love the creamy and smooth texture of this dessert. The contrast between the flavors surprisingly blends in so wonderfully. Do try this recipe. I hope you will enjoy it!
