Hawaiian Beach Club Coleslaw

It’s fun to serve something and have someone call it extraordinary.  And that’s exactly the response I received when I handed Jeff (who actually IS a fairly un-biased critic) a plate of fish tacos with this (easy) wonderful Hawaiian Beach Club Coleslaw.  And I got the same response AGAIN with a pile of Slow Cooker Kalua Pork and this coleslaw on a buttery crunchy toasted bun.

Hawaiian Coleslaw

Jeff had just finished lunch about an hour before, but I needed a taste tester so I handed him this anyway and asked for his opinion. Never one to shirk from a duty, Jeff threw himself on that unexploded grenade and took a bite.

 

And then took another bite.

 

And then said… “extraordinary.”

And then proceeded to finish the whole thing and followed me back to the kitchen, looking around expectantly for some extra bits that just might have been left laying around.

Yep.  I think we have a winner.

Hawaiian Cole Slaw

This Hawaiian Beach Club Cole Slaw is inspired by the Lava Lava Beach Club on the Kona Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii.   If you’re ever on the Big Island you should drop by.  It’s a wonderfully relaxed place to sit with your toes in the warm sand.  Can’t you just picture yourself here…

Hawaiian Cole Slaw

The slaw is great on a Kalua Pork sandwich or on fried fish tacos (I’ll also be posting this one shortly too).  You can make it with packaged coleslaw, like I did with my wonderful pulled pork, or shave some green and red cabbage and omit the carrots – and use it on fried fish tacos.  Either way, it’s fabulous.

And if you’re looking for an OUT OF THIS WORLD summer activity – it’s also a perfect dish for a summer luau. While you’re a it, take a minute and click here to see just how much fun a Summer Luau Party can be!!   (And just how EASY it is to pull together with my recipes.)

Tropical Summer Salad with Orange Dressing

Tropical Summer Salad

After making ALL. THOSE. COOKIES. It’s time for a healthy summer salad.  But it needs to be quick and easy and delicious.  This colorful Aloha Dreams Tropical Summer Salad is just what the (cookie-expanded) waist-line ordered. It’s brimming with healthy fruits and veggies.  And it has a wonderful tangy sweet Orange Vinaigrette Dressing.

Tropical Summer Salad

The vinaigrette is super easy and well worth the effort.  It comes together in no time.

The rest of the salad is pretty great too.  The onions and seedless cucumbers add a satisfying crunch and the thin slices of mango and avocado are smooth on your tongue.  If you have a mandolin now’s the time to use it on the thinnest setting, otherwise just slice the mango and cucumber thinly by hand.  You (and your waist) will love it.

Mexican Street Corn Casserole

Mexican Street Corn Casserole

Simple and really delicious, this Mexican Street Corn Casserole will be a sure hit with your whole family!  It’s a winner.

Have you ever had Mexican Street Corn?  It’s one of my favorite things. A grilled ear of sweet corn is slathered with mayonnaise, sprinkled with chili power and lime juice and covered in cheese.  (I’m so in!)

Mexican Street Corn Casserole

They serve wonderful Mexican Street Corn in Puerto Vallarta.    I know this because one day I got the wild hair that we needed a Puerto Vallarta vacation.   Twenty minutes later on Google, I turned up Villa Amapas.  (I’m dangerous in this mode.)

What do you think?  Could you hang here with a good book?

Mexican Street Corn Casserole

Well me too!  It only took me about 3 minutes to become convinced this was our next vacation destination, and Jeff no time at all (Jeff is an easy mark).  So I called a couple of other couples who only took about 15 minutes to opt-in and we were off!

Welcome to Villa Amapas – Puerto Vallarta

Villa Amapes Puerto Vallarta

It is Amazing.  And with 3 couples you can rent it for as low as $300 per couple per night.   Would this work for you?

Villa Amapes Puerto Vallarta

Did I mention Villa Amapes comes with Lupe?  Lupe is an out-of-this-world cook.  This Mexican Street Corn Casserole is my take on one of Lupe’s fabulous recipes.  I’ll be publishing more of her recipes here in the months to come.  Here’s Lupe’s table waiting for dinner.

Villa Amapes Puerto Vallarta

Oh, and in case that wasn’t enough, Villa Amapas also comes with Miguel, Lupe’s charming husband, who magically appears with marvelous treats and cold drinks the minute you hit the pool.

Here’s the link in case you’re thinking you could stand a bit of this action.

Anyway, back to the wonderful Street Corn.  (Sorry – I got side tracked thinking of that infinity edge pool and Lupe’s cooking.)   I’ve taken the traditional Mexican street corn and incorporated it into one of Lupe’s fantastic casseroles. It has the same great flavors of Mexican street corn but with the all the easy-prep benefits of a casserole.

This Mexican Street Corn Casserole is very easy to make.  You can do it all in one bowl and one casserole dish!  The color is wonderful when baked, as it turns a nice orange on top and is very attractive.  In case you’re wondering what cotija cheese is, it’s a hard cow’s milk cheese from Cotija, Mexico.  Wonderfully salty and crumbly, it looks like this.

Mexican Street Corn Casserole

Your Mexican Street Corn Casserole is perfect for barbecues and loaded with flavor!  You can serve it as a side dish, or a dip (Jeff is enjoying the leftovers with tortilla chips as we speak).  You can even use it in tacos.  Enjoy!

White Coconut Texas Sheet Cake

White Texas Sheet Cake

This made-from-scratch white cake is the vanilla version of the original Texas Sheet Cake and is every bit as good as the chocolate version.

This cake gets better the longer it sits, so go ahead and make it a day ahead.  A dear friend introduced this deliciously rich sheet cake to me.  With its creamy frosting and light vanilla flavor, you’ll love it.   It’s a classic cake, moist and easy to make.  Wait to prepare the frosting until the cake is done cooking.  The frosting will set up quickly and will be difficult to spread if made too far in advance.

Instead you pour the frosting over the warm cake, so it kind of works its way into the cake and makes it incredibly moist.  It almost just melts in your mouth.  How great is that?

Every time I serve this I get great reactions. So, so good!

Like it?  Please tell your friends....

I'm hoping this site will really help them.   If you think so too, please take a minute and send them a link.

This cake is even better the next day.  It's designed to be made in a standard 13 inch by 18 inch half baking sheet to serve a large group, so don't substitute a different pan size. When ready to serve cut in 5 by 8 rows to produce 40 servings.

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 40 servings
Author: Betsy Edwards
Ingredients
For the Cake
  • 2 cups (8.5 ounces or 240 grams) all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon coconut extract
For the Frosting
  • 3/4 cup butter softened, but not melted
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons coconut extract
For the Topping
  • 7 ounces flake sweetened coconut
Special Equipment
  • 1 (13 x 18 inch) baking pan
Instructions
  1. Place oven shelf at the top position. Set oven to broil and spread shredded coconut on a baking pan. Place baking pan under broiler and toast coconut until it’s golden brown. DO NOT WALK AWAY DURING THIS, it goes from golden brown to burnt very quickly. Remove from oven and set aside.

  2. Preheat oven to 350°.  Grease a 13 x 18 inch baking pan.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt, set aside.

  4. In a separate large bowl, stir together sugar, water, melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and coconut extract until combined.

  5. Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just incorporated, then pour mixture into greased cake pan.
  6. Place pan in oven and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 18-22 minutes.
  7. While cake is baking, whisk together all frosting ingredients to a smooth consistency.
  8. Remove cake from oven and let cool 5 minutes, then pour icing over the warm cake. Spread to cover cake. Sprinkle with toasted coconut.
MAKE AHEAD NOTE:

  1. Can be made and frosted and kept at room temperature for up to 3 days. Cover it lightly with plastic wrap to protect it from dust, etc.  Cakes both frosted and unfrosted, cut and un-cut, are perfectly fine at room temperature for several days.  Refrigeration is only necessary if your kitchen gets very hot during the day (think bacteria feeding frenzy) or if you're making a cake that won't be served for more than three days.

    To refrigerate, wrap unfrosted cakes in plastic to protect it from absorbing any weird fridge smells and to protect it from drying out, and then unwrap it to warm up on the counter before serving. For frosted cakes, chill the cake uncovered for fifteen minutes to harden the icing, then wrap it in plastic wrap.

Strawberries and Cream Cookies

Strawberries and Cream Cookies

You would think Jeff would run like a rabbit from pink cookies.  I can’t even get him to carry my purse.  Even when it’s filled with his candy bars.  (Which, since I’m not a chocolate fan sometimes melt – in – my – purse.)  You know you love your husband when…

 

Strawberries and Cream Cookies

Anyway, did he shy away from these pink strawberry cookies??  NO WAY.  In fact, he’s announced we can have them anytime I’d like to make them. I suspect your family will have the same reaction.

I’ve been posting a lot of cookie recipes lately getting ready for our Church Youth conference.  I’ve been using our church youth and ladies and Jeff as my designated taste testers.   Hey, someone’s gotta do it after all.

Enjoy!  I’ll be getting back to more varied posts very soon.  (Like an incredable Kit-Kat Freezer Pie I’m working on!!!  Now how great does that sound?)

Author: Betsy Edwards
Ingredients
  • 1 box Strawberry Supreme Cake Mix
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350.

  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  3. In a large bowl, combine cake mix and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, and vanilla by hand until well combined.

  4. Pour egg mixture into bowl with cake mixture.  Stir until a dough forms. Be sure to fully combine. Mix in the white chocolate chips.

  5. Drop rounded balls of the dough onto your baking sheet. Since they flatten out quite a bit, make sure the balls are taller than wide on your cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.  

  6. Bake for 10 minutes. Do not let them brown in the oven. Once slightly cooled remove from sheets to finish cooling on wire racks.  Cookies will appear slightly undercooked, but that's ok. They firm up and flatten as they cool. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes. Enjoy!

MAKE AHEAD NOTE:

  1. Cookies will stay fresh, covered, at room temperature for up to 1 week.  You can make the cookie dough in advance and hold it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow dough to come to room temperature before spooning it onto the prepared baking sheet. Alternatively you can freeze your baked cookies up to 3 months. Or freeze your unbaked cookie dough balls for up to 3 months.  Bake the frozen cookie dough balls for an extra minute, without thawing.
