Here at Mahalo we have a large number of delicious food-related How Tos, all of which offer recipes, tips, and tricks on delightful beverages, desserts, and entrees. Here are a few of the most recent ones:

How to Make a Smoothie: A smoothie is a great on-the-go breakfast, or just a tasty snack. Make sure to use a healthy thickener, like yogurt or tofu, if you’re concerned about calories. Frozen juice concentrate or sorbet can make a great smoothie, but you’ll take a calorie punch in drinking it.

How to Make Apple Butter: With fall approaching, you may have enough apples to hand to make your own apple butter. Boil fresh apples in apple cider, add sugar and lemon, and then can–then you’ll have apple butter on hand all through the winter and fall.

How to Make Vanilla Icing: Nothing tops a cake like homemade vanilla icing. Our recipe will help you make a delicious batch: mix softened (not melted) butter, add vanilla extract and powdered sugar, and you’ve got icing. You can make it as thin as you like by adding milk.

How to Make Maple Syrup: If you’re lucky enough to live near maple trees, why not check out this How To? You’ll learn how to tap a tree, how to boil the sap, and how to store your freshly-made syrup so that you can enjoy it on pancakes for months to come.
