Sandy’s Pineapple Nut Bread Waikiki

This is so good! It makes you feel like you are at Sandy’s

Famous Resort on Waikiki Beach, just try it!

Ingredients:

¾ cup light brown sugar

6 tablespoons butter

2 eggs

1 can (8-9 ounces) crushed pineapple, un-drained

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, stir before measuring

2 teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

Topping:

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ cups chopped pecans or walnuts

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together the sugar

And butter; add eggs and beat just until blended. Stir in

the un-drained pineapple, vanilla, and 1 cup chopped nuts.

Sift together flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Stir sifted

mixture into pineapple mixture just until blended. Spoon batter

into a well-buttered loaf pan. Combine topping ingredients and

sprinkle over batter. Bake for about 1 hour. To test for doneness,

stick a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean,

the bread is done. Cool thoroughly before cutting. Chilling makes

this bread easier to cut.

This serves 10 or more.

Somebody please take Sheila's camera away.


Me and my camera.

I know who took her camera! LOL

I am having so much fun

I wonder who has my camera?

Fun time!

Steamed Green Beans

Steam the green beans and cool

Add some soy sauce, sesame oil and sesame seeds

Mix and serve at room temperature.

White Rice

Well you all know how to cook white rice,

Sandy used 2 cups of dry rice to make enough

for the 10 of us and what Sandy did was spooned

the juices from the Waikiki Chicken on top of the rice

And then some on top of the chicken when

She plated the food.

Big discussions going on here

Did she really say that?

I can't believe it!

Sandy’s Coconut Ice Cream

Her recipe for this coconut ice cream is a family secret.

I will try and get her recipe, but so far

She is keeping it a secret.

What she did she put toasted and chopped macadamia nuts

Over the ice cream along with a slice of pineapple and mint leaves.

This was so good!

She also had dried pineapple and macadamia nuts on the table

to nibble on.
