Each year on Christmas Eve, we have a Hawaiian feast. It’s usually at my parents’ house in California, but this year we decided not to travel due to the pandemic, so we just had a smaller 4-person version here in Texas. Instead of the usual lau-lau, I made a char-siu-style chicken, and also our staple kalua pig. Kalua pig is really easy and simple to make following this recipe from Foodland, and it turned out perfect! Mariko also made poké and mac salad for a delicious, traditional (to us) Christmas Eve dinner. 😊🎄🍴

I use a Fujifilm X-series camera for most of the photos on this site and my Instagram. Why not pick one up for yourself?

It’s been YEARS since I had kalua pig (from King’s Hawaiian, of all places haha). Looks really tasty in your photo, and I hope you had a good one!
I hope you had a nice Christmas! We sometimes stop by King’s to pick up a haupia cake… yum!
Looks fantastic! I’ve been toying with the idea of making mac salad at home.
You should! There’s an ongoing debate in my family on which is better: mac or potato salad. My mom usually makes a combo now, but my immediate household prefers macaroni (I’m the sole potato person).
