Oyatsu/Snack

Apple Oat Bars

About 8 months ago I started craving an apple oat bar. This was weird because I don’t know if I had ever had anything like what I was actually craving. What I wanted was something that wasn’t like a granola bar…something a bit cake-ier, but not like cake. I wanted something that wasn’t overly sweet, […]

This post is written in partnership with RW Garcia. Summertime!!!! Some of my favorite things about summertime are food/eating related. (Though I could say that about any season, ha!) I love going on picnics, having a barbecue, the Fourth of July, and enjoying all of the fresh produce that is available in abundance. Bring on […]

Happy last day of February! To send the month out with a bang I am sharing a second super easy snack that includes my beloved avocados—California Avocado Nori Rolls. Part of why I love these so much is because I can cut up a bunch of veggies at the beginning of the week, put them […]

The girls and I are currently on the road. Mr. Fuji went to Japan on a business trip, so the Fujilings and I decided to go and have our own adventure instead of sitting around at home! We drove 916 miles from our house to Wenatchee, Washington (in north-central Washington) to visit my brother for […]

The arrival of spring always signals to me the start of California avocado season. I’m excited to be working with California Avocados again this year and am kicking off the season with a recipe for Fruity California Avocado Rice Cakes! If you are gluten-free or just looking for a change, this is a crunchy twist […]

It’s that time of year again when our kids are heading back to school. Good bye lazy days. Good bye sleeping in. But hey, I’m happy to be back on a schedule and have some time during the day when I have the house to myself to take back control of things. But when the […]

When Squirrel comes home from school she’s like a ravenous bear after a winter of hibernation. You’d think I don’t feed the kid based on how hungry she is! I try to shake things up once in a while in the after school snack department, and popsicles are an easy way to bring something new […]
