Pressure Cooker Mushroom Ragu

I am in looooooove with my Instant Pot (an electric pressure and so much more!). My mom gave me one for Christmas last year and I’ve been a bit obsessed ever since. I feel like I was late to the Instant Pot party, but if you don’t have one yet, you should rectify that problem. I posted […]

My in-laws live in Draper, Utah, a city just north of us. Every summer they have Draper Days, an event that lasts for about a week in July and is filled with everything from a children’s parade, to a rodeo, to evening concerts in the park, followed by fireworks. It’s a blast. This past July we […]

Remember that Grilled Corn with California Avocado Crema that I told you about at the beginning of the week? Well I promised you a plant-based (vegan) version and today I’m delivering! With summer winding down we have got to take advantage of all the wonderful produce, including corn and avocados! This version replaces the crema […]

In addition to pulled pork nachos, another dish I fell in love with while living in Memphis was red beans and rice. Today I’ve got a quick and easy version for you that would be perfect served as part of your Labor Day eats. This version includes fresh chunks of California avocado for added pops […]

Is anyone else as excited as I am that it’s Friday and we have a three day weekend ahead of us? Mr. Fuji and I surprised the girls when they got home from school today with a little family trip to Idaho Falls. We are looking forward to some family time to explore, have fun […]

I’m a breakfast for dinner sort of girl, and a good tofu scramble definitely fits the bill! A few weeks ago I whipped up this tofu scramble for dinner, throwing in spinach, carrots, mushrooms, red onion, garlic, and zucchini from the garden. When I started cooking I had no intentions of posting the recipe. But […]

*Disclosure: This post is in partnership with Acorn Influence to support Sprouts Farmers Market Box Top Giveaway! Happy New School Year! Tonight is Back-to-School Night at our school and the first day of school is next Tuesday (August 16th). I know that the New Year for most of the world starts on January 1st, but […]

Avocado Pesto Dip . . . another reason to have a good pesto recipe in your wheelhouse (and I’m biased because I think you should use my Pistachio Pine Nut Pesto recipe that I posted yesterday). The awesome thing about this dip is how easy it is to make. Pesto + avocado + a bit […]

If you don’t have a ton of time to cook, or to try out new recipes, it’s always good to have a set of recipes than you know by heart and everybody loves. Pesto, in my opinion, is one of those recipes. It is one of those magical concoctions that comes together in minutes, […]
