Berry Fudgy Chocolate Cupcakes—Merry Christmas!

The countdown is on at our house! My parents are flying in to Salt Lake City tonight, and my brother tomorrow night. We’re spending time with extended family tomorrow afternoon, and then my family and my in-laws are all coming over for Christmas Eve dinner. I love getting to be with everyone for the holidays, […]

Excitement is running high at our house. We are huge Star Wars fans at our house and are really looking forward to the new movie coming out next week. What better way to celebrate than with pie? So I whipped up a pie inspired by a character we all love to hate: Darth Vader. I […]

If you can believe it, Christmas morning is only 3 weeks away. I can’t quite believe it myself. Between now and then we will have school parties, work parties, shopping for presents, making presents, etc. I absolutely love this time of year and the magic of Christmas morning is hard to beat.

Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman, Be he alive, or be he dead I’ll grind his bones to make my bread. I have very distinct memories from when I was a little girl of my dad saying this in his deepest gravely giant-like voice as he stopped down the hallway. We would run […]

I have always loved my mom’s recipe for stuffed bell peppers, but when I was little I disliked the actual bell pepper. I distinctly remember eagerly eating the delicious filling and trying to avoid eating that juicy green shell. Sometimes I wish I could travel back in time and tell my younger self how good […]

Have you ever made something that just really hit the spot to the extent that it was what you wanted to eat everyday until it was gone? That was me a few weeks ago. Mr. Fuji went out of town for work and I was working on some new rice recipes, inspired by my recent […]
