Coconut Curry Poached Halibut with Micro Arugula + A $250 Harmons Giveaway!

*This post is brought to you by Harmons Grocery Store. Last month I attended a blogger event, arranged by Rachael of Today’s Mamma, at the Bangerter Crossing Harmons Store. We started with a tour from Bob and Randy Harmon, and then finished up with a cooking class from Chef Kimberly Larsen at Harmon’s Cooking School.

I keep thinking that spring has arrived here in Utah, and then the weather will turn and we’ll get a new layer of snow on the ground. Mother Nature is such a tease. I’ve been watching the new issues of magazines show up on the newsstands, taunting me with spring flowers, and spring inspired dishes, […]

Have you ever had a dish that just sounds good, and so you go through a streak where you eat it all the time? Pad Thai has been that dish for me lately. I’ve been making it once a week for the past month. It has just been hitting the spot! If you’re not already […]

During the summer I embarked on an adventure to explore the world of sous vide cooking, which came to a screeching halt when we pulled up roots and moved. Well, I’m finally getting the cogs in motion again, and boy does it feel good! Life in general has gotten a lot more normal . . […]

Happy Valentine’s Day Eve!! I love this time of year. I love getting to celebrate love, in all its forms, just as thoughts of spring seem to be tickling the edges of Mother Nature’s consciousness. Here in Utah, things are already warming up, though I’m sure we’ve still got some cold spells ahead of us. […]

As I mentioned yesterday, I filmed a segment for Studio 5 that was all about onigiri. I had an absolute blast. Brooke Walker, the host, is a doll, and was a great sport making onigiri with me. The first time you make an onigiri, it usually falls apart (it takes one or two to learn […]

Yesterday I spent part of the day filming another segment for an episode of Studio 5 which airs today. My segment was all about onigiri (“oh-nee-gee-ree”). (My recipe for Honey Ginger Chicken Soboro Onigiri, which I made in the segment, is posted here!) Since TV time is short, I only got to make the briefest of […]

I’ve been dreaming about lemon icebox pie since my first taste. In 2003 Mr. Fuji and I ate Thanksgiving dinner with his dad’s in-laws in Jackson, Tennessee. For dessert I ate a slice of his mother-in-law’s lemon icebox pie, a classic Southern confection made up of a buttery graham cracker crust, a tart, creamy filling […]

Although our holidays were wonderful, they did not go quite as planned. Squirrel came down with a stomach virus a few days before the start of Christmas break. We left to drive to California 4 days later, thinking we were in the clear, because Squirrel had survived the stomach virus and no one else appeared […]

I adore Japanese hotcakes (Japanese style pancakes). They are sweeter and fluffier than the regular American style pancakes I grew up on. In Japan there is an uber popular hotcake mix made by Morinaga that makes perfect fluffy hotcakes every time, and seems to be the way most people in Japan make hotcakes at home. There […]
