KELLEY SAYS: Barry and I like to travel the world vicariously through our children and through the meals they eat on their trips. The kids know to bring back menus from wherever they go.

BARRY SAYS: Some people get a T-shirt. We get menus. Which is fine by me.

KELLEY: Since one of the kids recently traveled to Hawaii, I decided to make Huli Huli Chicken, a traditional Hawaiian meal. It’s delicious, easy-to-make and relatively healthy.

BARRY: The freshly sliced pineapple marinated in the same sauce and cooked on the grill gives a nice bright flavor. It was a perfect, summertime meal.

KELLEY: In addition to pairing it with the pineapples cooked on the grill, I made the Smashed Cucumber Salad by Bianca Borges from Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street cookbook. You can find it here: https://www.177milkstreet.com/recipes/smashed-cucumber-salad.
