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

Jam Sessions

When I was in the fourth grade, my family moved into a new house across town. The house had a steep slope that started at the far edge of the backyard and dropped down to another street. Dirt trails switched back and forth across the hill, making it possible to reach different sections of the […]

We have had a full week at the Fuji house, including multiple trips to Home Depot, a garden, Disneyland, a visit with Noah’s Ark, and an unfortunate Kindergarten classroom incident: 1. Last Friday we finally got going on this year’s garden. After a family trip to Home Depot, the Fujilings and I spent time in our […]

A couple of months ago my mom and I ran a 5k in Irvine. This was the first 5k I had run in almost 12 years, and my mom’s first ever 5k. Needless to say, we were a bit proud of ourselves. We celebrated afterwards with a visit to my favorite bakery, 85°C Bakery Cafe. […]

Who knew that I would taste the best lemonade I’d ever tasted in the middle of a strawberry field in Oxnard, California? Random, I know, but those tend to be the best discoveries!

With Mother’s Day quickly approaching, I wanted to share a savory yogurt parfait that is so simple that even your kids could whip it up. (Just think breakfast in bed for mom!) The parfait will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to face the day.

Here are the random bites that have been happening in the Fuji family over the past week! 1. Last weekend was a busy weekend for our family. On Friday night Mr. Fuji and the girls went on a Daddy-Daughter Campout at Lake Skinner with our church congregation. It was an odd night for me, because […]

A drink sporting beautiful tart blackberries with hints of honey, lemon, and vanilla? Thoughts of this drink made me weak in the knees when today’s guest mixologist proposed it. Rachael White is a force to be reckoned with, and when I found out she had started a new blog, I thought maybe she would be […]
