Maui Part One: Road to Hana

Maui Part One: Road to Hana

Aloha again! Beings Nate and I spent the last week and a half exploring Maui, we have zero projects to share.  But who doesn't want to see other people's vacation photos? I personally love vacation photos. 

Nate and I explored almost the entire island of Maui.  We passed on a couple of stretches of road that would void our rental car agreement.  Pansies.

One of our days was spent traveling the Road to Hana. The drive is popular in Maui because there is so much to see and do. The trip is only about 50 miles but it's on a narrow two lane road with lots of one lane bridges.  I almost forgot the estimated 600 turns in the road.  The reviews made us think this road was sketchy and that I would be barfing my motion-sick little brains out.  I popped a Bonine and we hit the road with Nate behind the wheel.

Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

I've confessed my love for the cast iron skillet in the past.  (Here are our past cast iron skillet recipes: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie, Blackberry Cobbler or cheesy hashbrowns.)  Somehow I have never shared our all time favorite, the chocolate chip skillet cookie.  

We could also name this recipe  "Oh crap, I need to bring treats tomorrow".  It's delicious.  The recipe whips up quickly but seems fancy.  The cookie bakes in the cast iron skillet that has already cooked delicious bacon and cheesy hashbrowns.  So much flavor.  The cookie has a slight crunch on the edges but a super soft middle.  The skillet cookie is both Nate and I's favorite type of Chocolate Chip cookie.  And we are Chocolate Chip cookie connoisseurs.
