La Fuji Mama

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 […]

Monday was Pioneer Day here in Utah. Pioneer Day is an official state holiday that is celebrated on July 24th every year to commemorate the entry of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into Utah’s Salt Lake Valley in 1847 and celebrate the bravery of the original settlers. A few years ago […]

This post is written in partnership with RW Garcia. Summertime!!!! Some of my favorite things about summertime are food/eating related. (Though I could say that about any season, ha!) I love going on picnics, having a barbecue, the Fourth of July, and enjoying all of the fresh produce that is available in abundance. Bring on […]

It’s that time of year when the weather starts to heat up and I start to crave something cold to drink. One of my favorites is a frappe (basically a fruit milkshake) and I’m sharing a non-dairy version over on California Avocado’s blog, The Scoop! It’s a Cherry Almond California Avocado Frappe and it’s delicious. […]

Have you ever had a cauliflower steak before? I know they’ve been around for a while now, but if you haven’t had one yet, you should! I love them. I’m sharing a bit of a twist on cauliflower steak over on California Avocado’s blog, The Scoop. These cauliflower steaks are roasted with a mashed avocado […]

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” […]

I am annoyed. Scratch that. I am super annoyed! It is April 28th and it is SNOWING! Excuse me? May starts on Monday and we have cold white stuff falling from the sky? Not cool. We had a long, cold winter this year and a cold spring and it’s starting to take its toll on everyone. I […]

Hula Papaya Rawnola Bowls…you need these. Let me explain. At the beginning of this month we took a family vacation to Maui during the kids’ Spring Break. This was our first family vacation with Monkey and we were super excited. Our trip did not disappoint. Not only did we have an absolute blast playing in […]

I love falafel. Though love may not be a strong enough word. Seriously. I recently combined falafel and avocado, and putting two of my loves into one dish is just about giving me heart palpitations. I whipped up some baked avocado falafel that are light little pillows that are made even more delicious when combined with […]
