Grandparents' Day at the Children's Discovery Center

    For Grandparents' Day, we were at the Children's Discovery Center again for another great event.  We had met Kyle from C.H.E.F.S. Hawaii at the Yelp even earlier this year and had talked about joining up to do something together in the future.  C.H.E.F.S. is a new non-profit that helps other non-profits with their food needs (like getting lots of people served on a tight budget)  They also have a community outreach component which includes teaching children about healthy foods.  They worked with Liane & Loretta at the Children's Center to create a special event for Grandparents' Day.  They had a cooking demo for about 20 kids who learned how to make a fresh salad using local ingredients including a lilikoi honey dressing.  It was super delicious and VERY photogenic.   Thanks, Kyle & all the C.H.E.F.S. volunteers, you guys did a great job educating Hawaii's grandkids!  Thanks also, to the Fairy Cakes staff & personal trainer, who volunteered their time (and cupcakes) to the event!




Super fresh local fruit.
