Cheesy Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl

When it comes to breakfast, I’m a savory girl. I used to love my French toast dusted with powdered sugar and drowned in maple syrup just as much as the next kid, but then we moved to Japan for the first time back in 2002 and my palate began to change. Traditional Japanese breakfasts are […]

I think this may be my favorite recipe that came of my cookie cooking binge! Chewy chocolate chip hazelnut…how can you resist?!? The addition of mini chocolate chips and chopped toasted hazelnuts to my chewy almond cookie base makes a cookie that is slightly thicker, soft, and chewy. The mini chocolate chips give a fantastic […]

I hope you’re not sick of cookies yet, because I’m on a roll! These next two tweaks are my favorite. (I always like to save the best for last…even when I’m eating!) For today’s tweak, I took my chewy almond cookie base and turned it into a spiced molasses cookie.

Ok folks, here’s the next installment of my almond cookie dough base! Instead of chewy almond cookies, these are little cookie bites that have a bit more of a cake texture, but very similar to their larger counterparts.

I went gluten-free a year and a half ago (along with some other dietary restrictions) on the request of my rheumatologist as a way of naturally reducing some of my body’s inflammatory response (gotta love autoimmune disease!). Although I haven’t had a miraculous recovery (don’t I wish), I have definitely seen many benefits. For […]

This week I’m sharing a deconstructed version of Vietnamese fresh spring rolls with peanut dipping sauce, one of my favorite meals on the entire planet, over on The Scoop. This is a California Avocado Spring Roll Noodle Salad. It happens to be gluten-free (just make sure the miso paste and chili sauce you use are […]

Noodles made from fresh zucchini with roasted mushrooms, fresh veggies, and a light broth? A total win with the Fujilings. Even better? Squirrel helped make dinner! I recently teamed up with the Kids Cook Monday initiative as an ambassador. This initiative encourages families to set aside the first night of every week for cooking and […]

I’ve been trying to bring more variety to my breakfasts lately, as you might have seen by my chia breakfast pudding last week. Another item that I’ve been feasting on in the mornings is an açaí bowl. An açaí bowl is like cross between a smoothie and a bowl of ice cream, made with frozen […]

I have to admit that I shied away from the chia trend for a long time because I couldn’t think or say the word chia without the old 80s jingle of childhood running through my head. “Ch-ch-ch-chia!!” That combined with the disturbing visual of a clay head with green sprouts growing out of its scalp […]

Happy 2015 everyone! I must say that I’m happy to greet the New Year and shoo out the old. The end of 2014 about did me in. The Sunday before Christmas the flu hit me like a wrecking ball, and I’ve been in bed ever since. Have you heard about the mutating influenza strains? Yeah, […]
