California Avocado Spring Roll Noodle Salad

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 […]

The Fujilings have traded one addiction for another. Squirrel and Bug have all but forsaken their love for onigiri and now only have eyes for another—onigirazu. It’s true, and to be honest, I can’t blame them.

I love Spring! It puts me in the mood for two of my favorite things: tea parties and picnics. Why not combine the two? The great thing about a tea party picnic is that it doesn’t have to be complicated, and whether you’re hanging out with girlfriends or having fun with little ones, everyone will be happy! […]

There are some recipes that deserve a second look, and this is one of them. I posted this recipe on Savvy Sassy Moms 3 years ago this month. When I was brainstorming what I wanted to do for my Studio 5 segment this month, this recipe popped into my head. These scones are perfect for […]

We are currently in the middle of a crazy wind and dust storm here in Utah. I’ve watched a trampoline, sandwich board sign, and a trashcan fly by so far. So while we hunker down and hope we still have a roof tomorrow morning, I’m going to share a new recipe with you! I have […]

I’m back to pulling goodies out of my Kerrygold box, because April is National Grilled Cheese Month and this Sunday, April 12th, is National Grilled Cheese Day! The Fuji family loves grilled cheese sandwiches in all forms—classic grilled cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches stuffed with veggies or other goodies, etc. In honor of National Grilled Cheese […]

I’m a member of the Kerrygold blogger program, and recently received a box of goodies to cook with. Each month they give us a challenge, and the most recent challenge was to “Bring the Taste of Ireland to Your Kitchen.” I went back and forth on what I wanted to do, then settled on a […]

This past week has been a full one. Mr. Fuji was gone for 2 weeks on business to New Delhi, India and returned home last Thursday. To say we were overjoyed to have him back would be an understatement. He has been traveling consistently for work for the past 12 years of our marriage, but […]

Last April during our most recent visit to Japan, we took a side trip with some friends to Ikaho, a small town several hours northwest of Tokyo known for its hot springs. For dinner one evening we ate a kaiseki meal, a traditional multi-course Japanese dinner. It was spring, and every morsel of food spoke […]

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 […]
