Friends,
I am beyond excited to announce that my dear friend (and 3-time New York Times bestselling cookbook author) Michelle Tam and I are hosting a five-day getaway on the North Shore of Kauai from September 9–13, 2026, with Byline Travel handling all the luxe details!
Yes, it’s around the corner, but if you can swing it and have the time off, come hang out with us in paradise.
This summer, I’ve been busy finishing up my next cookbook, working on the 2.0 version of House of Haas, and soaking up every minute possible with my boys who are home together for the first time in ages. One thing I didn’t plan? A vacation!
So after connecting with Byline Travel to plan some incredible trips together, Michelle and I dreamed up this escape to Kaua’i so we can slow down, eat really well, move our bodies, sleep, laugh, and get back to the routines that make us feel strong and like our best selves.
We figured some of you might need the exact same thing!
You can choose to stay at the jaw-droppingly gorgeous 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, an ultra-luxe wellness resort perched above the bay with lush mountains on one side and the sparkling ocean on the other, or at a secret beach house nearby. It’s the kind of serene, ridiculously beautiful place that makes your shoulders drop the second you arrive. (I honestly cannot believe I get to call this work!)
Either way, you’ll spend five glorious days eating fabulous gluten-free meals packed with protein and fiber, most of them prepared for us by a fantastic private chef. Because the whole point is to relax, not spend your vacation worrying about what’s for dinner.
We’ll work out, do yoga, hike, and take a boat trip along the Nā Pali Coast. We’ll also hit up a farmers market before Michelle and I teach a cooking class on how to make some of our favorite sauces. (And every single activity is optional, so you can choose how much or how little you’d like to do!)
There’ll still be plenty of time to lounge, wander, nap, stare at the ocean, and enjoy the fact that someone else is cooking and cleaning up.
When it comes to taking care of myself as I age, I have looked to Michelle for advice on everything, as she does all of the homework before implementing it into her life. So we’ll both be sharing the routines that have helped us navigate all the perimenopause and midlife madness, especially when life gets bonkers bananas.
Michelle and I will be eating, moving, relaxing, and hanging out right alongside you. This isn’t one of those trips where the hosts pop in for a quick hello and disappear.
And don’t worry, it’s not a boot camp. You’re not going to be dragged out of bed at dawn or forced to fill every second of your day. The whole point is to feel relaxed, nourished, energized, and very well taken care of.
Basically, it’s the trip Michelle and I want to take right now, and we’d love for you to come with us.
