Try Bobby V's for Pizza and Authentic Italian Meals

4/27/2013

0 Comments

 
At Bobby V's Italian Restaurant Pizzeria they say "The best way to someone's heart is through their stomach". It's true! We love Bobby V's pizza!

Bobby V's makes an authentic Italian thin crust, hand tossed pizza with delicious sauce. All homemade! There's a wide assortment of toppings available for you to choose from. The pizzas we've tried include: cheese, sausage and mushroom, pepperoni and one of their specialty combinations.  The pizzas were oven baked to crisp perfection. The toppings were fresh and combined with their sauce, It's a pizza lovers dream!
On the occasions that we have gone to Bobby V's Restaurant, we've found friendly, attentive service in a fun, casual atmosphere. The checkered cloths on the tables and Italian music playing in the background bring some Italy to Kauai!

The reasonable prices and great food make it easy to recommend Bobby V's.

Bobby V's Italian Restaurant Pizzeria is located about one mile north of the condo in Kapaa. Their address is 4-788 Kuhio Highway, Kapaa, HI 96746
They're across the street from Mc Donald's.

Open daily from 3 pm.  They also deliver! 821-8080
Here's a link to their website for more info.

Now I'm hungry for Bobby V's pizza; I need to book my next trip to Kauai!
Aloha Readers!

A Perfectly Lazy Day on Kauai

There's no shortage of fun activities to do on Kauai. You could fill an entire vacation with zip lining, hiking, surfing, helicopter tours...But, what about a perfectly lazy day? We  like to spend a few of these days when we're on Kauai.

Here's a Perfectly Lazy Day itinerary for you!
  • Sleep in until after sunrise. Watch the last of the pink and purple sky change to blue as you have a cup of coffee or tea on the lanai.
  • Breakfast of fresh fruit that you picked up at the nearby farmer's market the day before.
  • Relax and read your favorite book or magazine on the lanai.
  • Slather on plenty of sunscreen, grab some snacks, water, and the Tommy Bahama beach chairs. Walk 200 yards to the beach.  
  • Spend the afternoon looking at the beautiful, blue Pacific and feeling the Kauai sunshine. 
  • Head back to the condo. Take a nap. Wake up refreshed.
  • Stroll over to the Hukilau Lanai restaurant. Order a tropical cocktail and an appetizer (our favorite is Adam's Poke Nachos). Enjoy the view of the gardens, pool, and ocean beyond. Listen to sweet, live Hawaiian music.  For your dinner entree, consider ordering Hukilau Mixed Grill, it's a wonderful sampling of grilled fresh island fish.
  • After your delightful dinner, walk back to the condo along the beach. Notice the millions of stars and moon reflecting on the ocean.
  • Fall asleep to the sounds of waves hitting the shore. Dream of another perfectly lazy day on Kauai.

Got Spam?

4/13/2013

We may like Spam a little too much at our house.  My husband and children LOVE it!  I don't share their same adoration but, I don't mind eating it now and then.  How you prepare Spam makes all the difference!
Picture
My husband picked up this delightful little cookbook at a Kauai Thrift store. Can you believe that someone would give this baby up?!  Hawaii's Spam Cookbook has more than eighty recipes. Including several that use the other popular local canned meats...corned beef, sardines and vienna sausage. Some are admittedly a little unusual but, I found a few that sounded tasty!
Picture
Spam Musubi is by far the family favorite.  "The perfect handheld meal" my daughter would say! They're great to pack for the beach. Here's a recipe from the cookbook. Notice the author was not concerned about being politically correct! Ha!

You too can do the "Spam shaka" while holding your delicious Spam Musubi! I thought this Spam label was so awesome that I saved it with my other Kauai mementos.
Picture
This recipe gave me a chuckle because the author states that it goes equally well with Milk, Coke or beer! My husband and Father both enjoy Spam sandwiches.
Picture
One more recipe...Fried Spam. This is my favorite way to eat Spam. Try it with rice!
Picture
Here's a bit of the preface that includes some interesting Spam information.

This fun cookbook can still be found on Ebay and Amazon for you Spam lovers!

Thanks for reading my blog and I wish you all a wonderful weekend!
