Fresh Italian Saturday Night

Four days of flying ended late Saturday as Hurricane Irene began to hit the Eastern seaboard. With the cookbook and Hawaiian Airlines 'Flavors Take Flight' contest in full swing, I came home to 2 wonderful cookbook additions, homemade by Dawn.

First up was a Yellow & Red Tomato Caprese Salad with a Balsamic Reduction Sauce.

And for the main course she made Spaghetti with Bolognese and Meatballs, topped with shaved Parmesan Cheese.

With bags of sauce ready to be vacuumed sealed and frozen, we'll have plenty to share later with friends or have a quick mean at one of those 'what's it gonna be tonight' times. Dawn has the recipes written and it will be added to the book and maybe posted here later. :)

Oh, and if you haven't voted yet for the contest, please take just a second to 'Vote me up' on the Flavors Take Flight' contest website. Here is the link:

VOTE UP BOBBY MITCHEL

Apparently, each Facebook user can only vote once. Thank you to all who already voted. Unfortunately, I'm still hanging out on page 2 of the main contest page. I'm still trying to make it to page 1, where the majority of the recipes are viewed by the average net surfer.  

Mahalo for flying with Captain Bobby Mitchel
