Saffron Farro with Apricots and Pine Nuts for a New Year, New You

The Mediterranean Diet, consisting of higher levels of olive oil, vegetables, fruit and fish, has been becoming increasingly more popular as more and more scientific studies are published linking a causal relationship between eating a Mediterranean diet and prevention of disease. Then, in September of 2013, researchers from the University of Exeter Medical School in Britain released […]

I am super sad to see Pie Week come to a close. So sad, in fact, that you may just start seeing a pie a month around here. Plus, we have Pi(e) Day to look forward on March 14th, so all is not lost! As National Pie Day comes to a close, marking the end […]

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 […]

On the first day of Camp Blogaway in 2012, a friend and I were standing at the networking table, which usually includes promotional materials for bloggers and brands. There was a […]

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 can hardly believe we are about to greet the beginning of a new year once again. This past year has been full of so much—change, excitement, joy, surprise, and sadness—that it’s hard to believe so little time has passed. I always enjoy reflecting on what the past year has brought our family, and this […]

This post is brought to you by Redwood Hill Farm. I know we have yet to hit the New Year, but has anyone started their post-holiday detox yet? I’ve been craving fresh fruits and vegetables (especially the mandarin oranges from my parents’ trees here in California) and not really wanting to even look at any […]

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 […]
