California Avocado Bell Pepper Quiche Cups

How is it possible that it’s already the middle of June? The past few weeks have been a blur. We have been in the whirlwind of the end of school activities, Mr. Fuji and I took an anniversary trip to Cancun, Mexico, the Fujilings have been doing Irish dance camp, and we have weathered a […]

I’m excited to be working with California Avocados again this year and am kicking off the season with a recipe for Fruity California Avocado Rice Cakes! If you are gluten-free or just looking for a change, this is a crunchy twist […]

Spring is here!! Things are slowly warming up here in Utah. We had several days of temperatures in the 60s, but then it has snowed the past 2 days. Oh well, we’ll get there!

A few months ago on Periscope someone asked me for meatless protein ideas to pack in school bentos. I threw out a couple of ideas for her, but have been thinking about it every since. A few weeks ago as I was falling asleep (or at least trying to fall asleep), the idea came to […]
