That was [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/banana-bread-with-macadamia-nuts-438.htm/feed 3 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/aloha-cookies-409.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/aloha-cookies-409.htm#comments Mon, 01 Dec 2008 00:56:59 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/?p=409       I’m not sure “Aloha Cookies” is the best name, but it was the best I could come up with.  It was that or “Pineapple Coconut Macadamia Cookies”…and I ran out of breath trying to say it. :)  I went on a baking frenzy today and decided to come up with something new.  Hence this [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/aloha-cookies-409.htm/feed 0 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/mango-smoothie-307.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/mango-smoothie-307.htm#comments Sat, 17 May 2008 23:25:12 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/?p=307       When I was in Hawaii last September, one hotel we stayed at served tiny mango smoothies with breakfast every morning.
