SUBWAY ITALIAN BMT PROTEIN BOWL

LUNCH AT THE OFFICE

So happy that Subway has embraced low carb.  They now have Protein Bowls which basically is any of their sandwiches in a bowl.  I went with the Italian BMT with all the veggies, extra onion, jalapeño and Italian Dressing.  The salad was huge, full of great tasting meats and fresh veggies.  Price was $10 which for a lunch in Hawaii is a great deal.  I could only finish half.

BLACK PEPPER FILET MIGNON

DINNER AT HOME

We had an incredible Black Pepper Filet Mignon at EMC Seafood & Raw Bar on Santana Row in San Jose.  The meat was seasoned perfectly and cooked to a perfect medium rare.  My Wife fell in love with the dish and wanted to replicate it when we got home.  She did it and it came out pretty perfect.  Great flavor and perfectly cooked.  She added her own touch with Red and Green Bell Peppers, Green Onion.  This will now be on our favorite dinner rotation.

SASHIMI AND AVOCADO

APPETIZER AT HOME

We missed fresh Hawaii Sashimi while in California and got home to find the price had soared to $38 per pound.  These little slices of heaven cost me $13.  Delicious.

SHRIMP TEMPURA TACOS

DINNER AT HOME

Taco Tuesday at Casa de Santos was again amazing.  These Shrimp Tempura Tacos are a family favorite and some of the best tacos of my life.  These are up there with the Brigantine Fish Tacos in San Diego.  They taste incredible and are oh so satisfying.

CHEESE AND ROASTED RED TOMATOES

APPETIZER AT HOME

Enjoyed a nice Cheese Platter at the Vintage Wine Bar in San Jose.  Absolutely loved the Roasted Red Tomatoes with Cheese so I asked the waiter where they got the Tomatoes.  He went back into the kitchen and took a photo of the can.  I Googled the brand and bam....they were in stock at Whole Foods near my home.  Replicated the dish minus the bread to stay low carb.

AVOCADO AND QUINOA ENSALADA

DINNER AT HOME

My Wife absolutely loved the Avocado and Quinoa Salad at Mendocino Farms in San Diego and San Jose. She raved that it was the best salad of her life.  I decided to replicate the salad at home and it came out pretty darn good.  She loved it for dinner and lunch.

We were craving Prime Rib after our daughter texted us a photo of a delicious piece of Prime Rib she was eating at an upscale steakhouse near her college.  I googled "Best Prime Rib Honolulu" and EbiNomi came up with great reviews.  Decided to give it a try and it was great.

We ordered the Prime Rib ($25.95) and Garlic Shrimp ($16.95).  A bit expensive for lunch but as they state on their menu, they use top quality ingredients and portions are generous.  We asked if we could substitute Greens or Vegetables for the Rice to stay low carb but the gal said no.  Instead she said that she would put the rice on the side.  The Prime Rib was cooked perfectly and served with a delicious Au Jus and Horseradish Sauce.  It was really good and in fact, so good that my Wife decided she wanted her own and ordered another plate.  She devoured it.  The Garlic Shrimp is just as good as the North Shore Shrimp trucks but lacks the spicy sauce that we love at Giovanni's.  I asked for hot sauce and was given packets of Cholula Sauce.  Service was good and the food came out of the kitchen fast.

Definitely liked this place!

Golfing Royal Hawaiian is an adventure.  Like golfing in Jurassic Park.  The front nine is challenging and beautiful.  With small fairways, greens and lush surroundings, this course will definitely steal some of your balls.  The back nine opens up a bit more and includes stunning views that make this one special place.  We celebrated my Friend Felix's birthday here and it was fun and so beautiful.  A gem of a course that really doesn't get that much publicity.

 

SWORDFISH WITH AVOCADO BUTTER

DINNER AT HOME

After a long road trip to California it was nice to get back to low carb cooking at home.

Swordfish with Avocado Butter is one of my Wife's favorite dishes at the Brigantine in Del Mar so I did my best to replicate the dish at home.  Served with Broccolini with Garlic.
