Back in Hawaii, we LOVED Buca's. Not because they had the best pasta ever, or because the bread was flaky and buttery, or even because they offered a $10 off a $20 purchase coupon.

It's almost been two weeks, and somehow, it's still so surreal. I'm moved by how quickly the community has come together, planned events in his honor and even started a scholarship in Ryan's name! In the midst of all this, of everyone's kind words, of photos being posted, I kept seeing this one pair of shorts. I know he has a bunch of incredibly bright, vivid Jams, but for whatever reason, these were stuck in my head. This week has been ridiculous for me. I've been working crazy hours, studying for finals, writing a paper, and trying to keep up with my work out schedule. Of course, being the procrastinator that I am, I decided that this week would be a great time to get some baking in. Hahaha.

This year, I'm once again participating in Kanu Hawaii's "Simplify the Holidays" campaign. It's pretty simple, as the title states, the goal of this campaign is not only to reduce the ridiculous amounts of trash accumulated during the holiday season, but to really focus on giving from the heart and spending quality time with the people we love.

When it comes to my schedule, I'm close to neurotic. I have various google calendars, color coded and sometimes, I feel like I'm planning out every second of my life. What can I say, busy is better than bored, right? Hahaha. In any case, I am the exact OPPOSITE when it comes to cooking and baking. I usually will decide what to make that day, depending on what I have on hand. I don't really make a shopping list unless I'm planning to make something epic, with those non day-to-day ingredients. This is where "fridge velcro" comes in.

An apple a day, keeps the doctor away...and this recipe used two apples. So technically, eating half a batch of these bad boys is totally legit. Right? Hahahaha. Chopped, enveloped in a fluffy cinnamon-y batter, deep fried and then glazed. These small bites of heaven are the perfect addition to a lazy Sunday, some late night productivity, and they even serve as an afternoon snack to fight post-lunch sleepyness!

A few months back, there was a massive bake sale in downtown. Massive as in, order sheets at an easy-up in Tamarind Park (Bishop Square), with signs and people navigating you toward tables upon TABLES of brownies, cookies, snack mixes, and chocolate dipped diet-destroyers, set up in a vacant store! :D
