Fuji Nana’s White Chocolate, Orange, & Raspberry Pie

Happy National Pie Day! To celebrate today, I thought it would be appropriate to share a recipe from the woman who brought me into this world. My mom and I made this pie, a White Chocolate, Orange, and Raspberry dream, when we were visiting for Christmas. I have many memories of watching my mom make […]

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 […]

Have you ever said something about someone and it turns out they were standing right behind you while you were saying it? I have.

Thankfully I’ll be making […]

When I moved to Paris I had several bags of chocolate chips tucked into my suitcase so that I could whip up a batch of chocolate chip cookies if I got homesick. Luckily, when we moved to Japan, we had access to Costco, who conveniently carried chocolate chips, making room for other things in my […]

We’re citrus fanatics in the Fuji household, and so we love the winter months when citrus season is at its peak. The Fujilings love helping out in the kitchen when any citrus is involved, knowing that they’ll get to snack on whatever citrus we’re cooking with as we go. One of the varieties we’ve fallen […]

I recently made a tofu cheesecake for dessert—a no-bake, lightened up version of cheesecake that uses tofu and powdered gelatin. Usually when I make cheesecake, lightened up or not, I make it in some sort of cookie crust. As I was whipping up the filling for this cheesecake, however, the process reminded me of a […]

Vanilla pudding topped with a whipped cream layer and finished off with a sweetened purple sweet potato puree makes me weak in the knees. But let me back up a bit. A few months ago I received a surprise box of purple sweet potatoes from my friends at Frieda’s. I was literally jumping up and down […]

Merry Christmas Eve!! I can’t believe it is already December 24th. This month has flown by quicker than I could say Kris Kringle. We have especially enjoyed the Christmas season in our family this year, as Squirrel is more excited and filled with wonder about the magic and traditions of the holiday than ever before, […]
