Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges

Why didn’t the mother potato want her daughter to marry the famous newscaster? Because he was a commentator. Bahahahahahaha! Ok, sorry, I’ve got kids, remember? I currently live in the land of corny jokes! But in all honestly, I don’t think that “common-taters” exist. I love all taters. But sweet potaters do take the tater […]

Happy February Fuji friends! I’ve got a cookbook that I’ve been meaning to share for months. It has been mean of me to keep it from you, because it’s a good one! Farm to Table Asian Secrets: Vegan & Vegetarian Full-Flavored Recipes for Every Season by Patricia Tanumihardja. I’ve tried a ton of recipes from the […]

Happy Hump Day Fuji friends! It’s about this time of year when I start to feel like I’m n a rut when it comes to packing my kids’ school lunch bentos, or my work bentos. My girls occasionally buy lunch at their school’s cafeteria (they have a baked potato bar that I am 100% on […]

Merry Christmas my friends! It has been frigid here and I’ve been craving hot chocolate and herbal tea to keep me warm from the inside out. I figured this called for sharing a recipe that I brought home this summer from a trip to the island of Kauai, for vegan hot chocolate from Garden Island […]

Written in partnership with California Avocados. Bibimbap (“bee-beem-bawp”)…saw that 4 times fast and see if it doesn’t put a smile on your face. It does mine! It’s just a fun word. But it’s an even better dish and one of my all-time favorite foods! It’s a Korean rice bowl, and I’ve got a reimagined version […]

This post is a collaboration with Lightlife. It has been hot, hot, hot this summer. August is about the time that I no longer want to even look at my stove, let along my oven. It’s just too darn hot and I’m sick of the heat. So I usually convince Mr. Fuji to do some […]

Have you had chow chow before? No, I’m not talking puppy chow or misspelling “ciao” . . . I’m talking about the Southern condiment, a sweet and sour relish that adds a pop of color and a ton of flavor to whatever you add it to. I’m sharing my recipe, with a California twist over […]

Pioneer Day is an official state holiday that is celebrated on July 24th every year to commemorate the entry of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into Utah’s Salt Lake Valley in 1847 and celebrate the bravery of the original settlers.
