Avocados

California Avocado Ramen

We are currently in the middle of a crazy wind and dust storm here in Utah. I’ve watched a trampoline, sandwich board sign, and a trashcan fly by so far. So while we hunker down and hope we still have a roof tomorrow morning, I’m going to share a new recipe with you! I have […]

My most recent post for Multiply Goodness went up last week while I was out of town. So if you missed it, here is the link. I wrote about one of my favorite things on the planet—avocados, and how we are like avocados. Have I peaked your curiosity? I hope so! Hop on over and […]

We are visiting family in Utah for the holiday, and just received a big box of gorgeous California avocados from the California Avocado Commission. Perfect for […]

With Memorial Day right around the corner, I’ve been planning what will be on the menu. This Cotija Chipotle Corn Guacamole, inspired by Mexican elote, is a must make! One of my favorite treats is elote, a popular Mexican dish of freshly roasted corn that is spread with mayonnaise, rolled in crumbled cotija cheese, then dusted […]

The inside of my refrigerator is starting to look like one big lab experiment. I seem to have developed an obsession with putting things in jars. There’s a batch of Mark Bittman’s easy kimchi, several jars of Three Pepper Jelly, some sliced variegated pink lemons marinating in honey, several different types of tsukemono (Japanese pickles) […]

I have two favorite flavors of soft cream (i.e. soft serve) in Japan: black sesame and sweet potato. If you had told me a little over 10 years ago that I would be saying that, I would have laughed at you. But 10 years ago this month Mr. Fuji and I moved to Japan for […]
