Cheddar Gougères (Savory Cheese Cream Puffs)

This is one of my absolute favorite times of year. I love when we start to transition out of summer weather and into fall. It is still warm, but not crazy hot, and the markets still have summer produce but some of my fall favorites are starting to show up. PERFECT PICNIC WEATHER!!!! I’m sorry […]

I’ve recently had friends that live in New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas, rubbing in my face the fact that they’ve got Hatch chile roastings all over the place where they live. Not fair! Thankfully I was alerted to the fact that I was not out of luck. Harmons Grocery, a local grocery chain here that […]

There are some recipes that deserve a second look, and this is one of them. I posted this recipe on Savvy Sassy Moms 3 years ago this month. When I was brainstorming what I wanted to do for my Studio 5 segment this month, this recipe popped into my head. These scones are perfect for […]

What could be better than a weekend celebrating chocolate and cheese? This past weekend there was a 2 day long Chocolate & Cheese Festival at the Natural History Museum of Utah.

A couple of months ago my mom and I ran a 5k in Irvine. This was the first 5k I had run in almost 12 years, and my mom’s first ever 5k. Needless to say, we were a bit proud of ourselves. We celebrated afterwards with a visit to my favorite bakery, 85°C Bakery Cafe. […]

I no longer use an oven when I make pizza, I use a fry pan. This is not a technique I came up with, just one I fell in love with a few years ago. I recently posted some pictures on Instagram of one of our fry pan pizza nights, and got so many questions […]

“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien Every year on Christmas morning, as soon as my brothers and I were all awake and my parents gave us the go-ahead, we’d run to the fireplace to see what Santa had left in […]

The first time Mr. Fuji and I moved to Japan I was quick to notice the sandwich bread, known as shokupan, in our local supermarket: cellophane bags filled with thick square slices of white bread, and no heels in sight—and when I say thick, I’m talking one and half inches thick! Mr. Fuji told me […]

My Mexican Pizza topped with a fragrant tomato sauce, creamy queso fresco, red onion, and escabeche (pickled jalapenos and carrots) was inspired by a pizza I ate pool-side more than once during my trip to Cancun last month with Mr. Fuji.
