We are at the tail end of apple season and I am sad to see it go. We have a fantastic source for apples here in Utah—Allred Orchards in Payson, Utah grows 8 different varieties of apples and sells them at a farmstand in Provo, Utah. Last month Bug and I drove down to the […]

What does pasta salad have to do with Halloween you might ask? Well, not much usually, but this year it was the dish I took to Mr. Fuji’s family Halloween party. I tried to think of a clever name, since the pasta does look a bit like brains, but by the time the salad was […]

With October 31st quickly approaching, we’re in a full blown Halloween frenzy in the Fuji household. We went to a church Halloween party this past Tuesday, we have a family Halloween party on Saturday, and all sorts of fun in between. The girls are counting down the seconds until they get to go house to […]
