Chilean Hot Dogs (Completo)

This post is a collaboration with Lightlife. It has been hot, hot, hot this summer. August is about the time that I no longer want to even look at my stove, let along my oven. It’s just too darn hot and I’m sick of the heat. So I usually convince Mr. Fuji to do some […]

Have you had chow chow before? No, I’m not talking puppy chow or misspelling “ciao” . . . I’m talking about the Southern condiment, a sweet and sour relish that adds a pop of color and a ton of flavor to whatever you add it to. I’m sharing my recipe, with a California twist over […]

One of the things that I love about traveling is how it influences my cooking. I came home from our trip to Maui with a sheet of paper filled with recipe ideas. I’ve already shared my Papaya Rawnola Bowl recipe with you, but there are more coming! Today I’m sharing my recipe for Tofu “Spam” […]

Is everyone enjoying spring as much as I am? I’m currently enjoying it even more than usual, because the Fuji family is in Japan for spring break right now, and the cherry blossoms, which are currently in bloom right now here, are one of my all-time favorite things to enjoy in life. I’ll be sharing […]

Miss Piggy once said, “After all the trouble you go to, you get about as much actual “food” out of eating an artichoke as you would from licking 30 or 40 postage stamps.” Growing up I always looked forward to the days when my mom came home from the store with a bag of artichokes. […]

I had planned on sharing a recipe for a fabulous endive salad with you as my next OnDiva post, but then this Endive Rice Soup happened, and all thoughts of salad sharing flew out the window, and it’s all because of a virus. The dreaded “junk” has been traveling through our community this past month. […]

Making tofu is just like making a simple cheese—you heat soy milk, then add a coagulant to separate the milk into curds and whey. You then ladle the curds into a mold to press them into a block of cheese, or in this case, tofu! I’ve written about making tofu before here on LFM, but […]

Today, as the next post in my Food Is Medicine series, I’m tackling the topic of whole grains, with the aid of an amazing recipe for sandwich wraps that features a wheat berry spread that will knock your socks off!

I’ve never met a taco I didn’t like. So when I discovered takoraisu (i.e., “taco rice”), a Japanese twist on the taco, while living in Japan, you can imagine that I was just a little excited to add another favorite to my taco family. In taco rice, rice takes the place of the taco shell, and […]

I have two favorite flavors of soft cream (i.e. soft serve) in Japan: black sesame and sweet potato. If you had told me a little over 10 years ago that I would be saying that, I would have laughed at you. But 10 years ago this month Mr. Fuji and I moved to Japan for […]
