La Fuji Mama — Bringing world flavors to the family dinner table.

Easy Holiday Canapé Trio

This month I am partnering with Whole Foods and Kitchen PLAY to help you out with your holiday entertaining. Although the holidays are all about spending time with friends and family, how often do we stress over what we are going to put on the table and end up spending more time worrying about the food […]

This post is brought to you by Davidson’s Safest Choice Eggs. I must be missing Memphis, because lately I’ve been craving all of the Southern foods I fell in love with when we lived there—collared greens, pulled pork, banana pudding . . . you name it, and I’ve been craving it. Thankfully I’ll be making […]

Living in the United States, it can be easy to forget what seasonality is. Fresh tomatoes in the middle of winter? Of course! What isn’t easy to forget however, is how much better things taste when they are eaten during their season. They are bursting with flavor. It used to be that we didn’t have […]

We are at the tail end of apple season and I am sad to see it go. We have a fantastic source for apples here in Utah—Allred Orchards in Payson, Utah grows 8 different varieties of apples and sells them at a farmstand in Provo, Utah. Last month Bug and I drove down to the […]

Now that we are in serious holiday mode (how is it that it is already November?), I’m sure that things around your neck of the woods are just as crazy as they are here! I love this time of year. I love the changing colors of the leaves, the crisp snap in the air, the […]

Happy Halloween from the Fuji family! What have you got planned today? Both of the Fujilings have parties at school, so I was up early this morning picking up unfrosted cupcakes from the bakery (no homemade allowed) for Squirrel’s cupcake decorating activity. I’m looking forward to trick-or-treating tonight! We’ve been having all kinds of goofy […]

What does pasta salad have to do with Halloween you might ask? Well, not much usually, but this year it was the dish I took to Mr. Fuji’s family Halloween party. I tried to think of a clever name, since the pasta does look a bit like brains, but by the time the salad was […]

On Thursday my kids will be dressed up in all of their Halloween finery to go out trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. I look forward to handing out candy every year, enjoying the variety of costumes that grace our doorstop. Some of those costumes are scary!! But even scarier than any of the goulish ghosts, goblins, […]

With October 31st quickly approaching, we’re in a full blown Halloween frenzy in the Fuji household. We went to a church Halloween party this past Tuesday, we have a family Halloween party on Saturday, and all sorts of fun in between. The girls are counting down the seconds until they get to go house to […]

In her newest book, Weelicious Lunches, Catherine McCord covers just about every possible hurdle you might face in packing a lunch for your kids to take to school. Not only does she go over her “principles of the perfect lunch,” but she addresses how to stock your pantry to be better prepared to pack those […]
