“Mauna Loa” is a name that resonates deeply with the spirit of Hawai’i. Mauna Loa, which translates to “Long Mountain”, is one of the largest volcanoes on Earth, rising more than 13,000 feet above sea level. It symbolizes both the beauty and power of nature, and its name evokes respect and admiration for the land and its natural wonders.

More than 40 years ago, in the shadow of the majestic Mauna Loa volcano herself, those at the company Mauna Loa® learned to grow and roast macadamias to produce a nutrient-dense nut. Becoming a Hawaiian icon in the process, their mission was “Bringing the mighty macadamia to the world.” Today, they are taking the macadamia further than ever before with a variety of bold new products which harness the vibrant flavors and exquisite tastes of Hawai’i.

With summer’s sweltering days and busy schedules at full tilt, there are two directions dinner normally takes in my house—quick-and-easy or light the grill (sometimes both)! With this in mind, choosing great ingredients and instant flavor boosters are key. I’m all about seasoning and sauces—a culinary market that’s bursting with new products. So, when I came across Bachan’s Japanese Barbeque sauce, I decided it was definitely worth a try. And it’s now a flav-orite of mine! Whether you’re looking to boost flavor for a healthy stir fry, or seeking the elusive umami flavor after hours on the smoker, this sauce does triple duty as a marinade, dip, or drizzle. Bachan’s is officially saucing up summer from here on out, one BBQ at a time.

While this cake looks pretty plain, it is a family favorite,
absolutely delicious and loved from coast-to-coast. It’s a crave food and a no-fail stand-by. My mother used to get requests for this cake all the time. I gave her the recipe, but she is the one known for it. Her best friend, Stewart Bristow, used to ask her to bake it every time her brother-in-law, Dr. Melton Bristow, would visit from California. He would call in advance wondering if my momma was going to bake THE cake. Moist, lemony and a delightful blend of flavors, this cake is a perfect accompaniment for brunch, lunch, bookclub, or as a scrumptious dessert served after dinner with a little vanilla ice cream.
