Charred Corn Onigiri

TGIF! It’s been a long week in our neck of the woods and I am looking forward to a less-busy weekend. It has been awhile since I shared an onigiri recipe for you, so I’m rectifying that today! I love the flavor of charred corn, and after finding some beautiful corn at the store recently, […]

*This post is brought to you in partnership with Better Body Foods. One of my favorite non-dairy milks is oat milk, but I’m very picky about my oat milk. I’ve found that many of the commercially available milks either have added sugar (I’d rather be in control of how much sugar I add, thank you […]

*This post is brought to you in partnership with Outstanding Foods. I never get sick of combining the flavors of bacon (plant-based of course), lettuce, tomato, and avocado. It just doesn’t get old! I received a box filled with bags of the different flavors of PigOut Pigless Bacon Chips recently and after we devoured more […]

We are currently in Japan! (I can’t tell you how giddy that makes me to type that!) Mr. Fuji had a 2-week business trip to Tokyo and about halfway through his trip he found a really good deal on tickets and booked a trip for the rest of us to fly out and meet up […]

*This post is brought to you in partnership with Nasoya. I’m a huge fan of fermented vegetables, whether it be dill pickles, sauerkraut, Japanese tsukemono, or Korean kimchi. Since going plant-based, I have had less to choose from in the kimchi department. The classic kimchi recipe includes some sort of salted seafood or fish sauce. […]

I had a bit of an epiphany recently. I have said for years that my favorite food was sushi. But when I was making a batch of onigiri for the kids last month I realized that although I do love sushi, there is another food that is my true favorite—onigiri. The first thing I ate […]

When I studied abroad in Paris, the mom of the family that I lived with made a simple lunch of spaghetti sauced with ketchup on several occasions. The first time when I sat down to a bowl of it I think my eyebrows were somewhere up in my hairline. Ketchup had never been anything more […]

Chicken noodle soup has been an important part of Mr. Fuji and my collective family history since we were little. About a year after I began eating a plant-based diet, Mr. Fuji started throwing out little hints that he would love it if I veganized our chicken noodle soup recipe. I let some ideas bounce […]

In January, on an Instagram post, I asked what peoples’ favorite Japanese dishes were. It was really fun to see the responses. One of the responses was from @sandrajapandra who said that saba no misoni was her favorite. Saba no misoni is a very traditional Japanese fish dish of mackerel that is simmered in a […]
