Grammas Green Dessert by Shannon K. I'i
This week from Lahaina Maui, representing Kaiāulu Initiatives we welcome Shannon K. I'i. Her organizationʻs mission is to rebuild Lahainaʻs landscape by creating a thriving watershed that supports and sustains both the environment and the community for generations to come. Great work Shannon! Today in the kitchen Shannon says she chose to share this dish because it reminds her of her grandmother. She made so many cool treats but this was by far her favorite and most easy to make. This was her grandmother's go to potluck dish for every church event she attended. When Shannon realized it had cottage cheese in it she thought she wouldn't like it but when it was complete and she got to lick the spoon she absolutely loved it!
