Asian Fruit Salad with California Avocados

Did you know that June is California Avocado Month? Woohoo!!! Oh darn, I guess I have to eat more avocados this month. (Yeah right, like I actually need an excuse!) My newest recipe that I developed for the California Avocado Commission is up on The Scoop, a fruit salad inspired by my travels in Asia! […]

Remember onigirazu, that cousin to onigiri (Japanese rice balls), that I wrote about a few weeks ago? Well I’m back, but this time with a formula that will set you free so you don’t need to look at a recipe when making one!

It’s picnic season! Are you as excited as I am? I love eating outdoors, whether it’s taking a picnic to the park, or sitting out in our backyard while Mr. Fuji grills up something amazing. Plus, we’ve got the Fourth of July coming up soon, which is a prime opportunity to serve a feast outside. […]

I am not a huge meat eater, with one exception—there is a huge pig-shaped spot in my heart—I love pork. Thankfully (unfortunately?) my friend Noriko understands. Last month we spent Spring Break in Japan, staying at Noriko’s house. Our kids had a blast spending every waking moment together, and are still bemoaning the fact that […]
