Top 10 Favorite Recipes From Other Bloggers in 2013

On this, the last day of 2013, I’d like to pay tribute to all the incredible work that my fellow food bloggers have done this year. Earlier this month I was contacted by Becky of Project Domestication asking if I would be interested in doing a roundup of my 10 favorite recipes from other bloggers […]

I can hardly believe we are about to greet the beginning of a new year once again. This past year has been full of so much—change, excitement, joy, surprise, and sadness—that it’s hard to believe so little time has passed. I always enjoy reflecting on what the past year has brought our family, and this […]

This post is brought to you by Redwood Hill Farm. I know we have yet to hit the New Year, but has anyone started their post-holiday detox yet? I’ve been craving fresh fruits and vegetables (especially the mandarin oranges from my parents’ trees here in California) and not really wanting to even look at any […]

We had an absolutely fabulous sunny Southern California Christmas. Christmas in my hometown of Redlands, California is usually the most beautiful day of the year. Sunny, crisp and clear, and the perfect temperature that allows you to wear just about whatever you want. We’ve been enjoying all of our family Christmas traditions and our time […]

I adore Japanese hotcakes (Japanese style pancakes). They are sweeter and fluffier than the regular American style pancakes I grew up on. In Japan there is an uber popular hotcake mix made by Morinaga that makes perfect fluffy hotcakes every time, and seems to be the way most people in Japan make hotcakes at home. There […]

This post is brought to you by Green Valley Organics. With all the rich desserts and heavy meals that seem to accompany the holidays, I always like to make sure that I have something light and fresh up my sleeve to serve when the occasion arises. I love making a Waldorf salad to serve […]

I’m very excited about the special giveaway I’ve got for you today! I have an almost daily habit of brewing up a cup of Crio Brü for myself in the morning. (I’ve written about Crio Brü before: here, here and here.) Crio Brü is a brewed drink made from 100% premium roasted cocoa beans. Those who […]

Last week I pulled out the turkey carcass left over from our Thanksgiving feast and stuck it in a large stock pot, along with some yellow onion, carrots, kombu, celery, peppercorns, salt, ground black pepper, and water and let everything simmer for a good part of the day until the entire house smelled of Thanksgiving dinner […]

The first time I ever laid eyes on a persimmon was in 2002 when Mr. Fuji and I moved to Japan for the first time. It was love at first bite. The flesh is creamy and unlike anything I’d ever eaten before, with hints of mango, peach, and orange, yet a flavor all its own. […]
