Kiwi muffins

Every single time for the past 15 years that we’ve gone home to my in-laws house, they always have to send home fruit. Sometimes it’s apples. Sometimes it’s oranges or tangerines or homegrown dragonfruit, but every once in a while, we’ll get some kiwi. And my husband will always say don’t you worry – I

Hot Pink Flower Kazari Sushi

I was one of those girls growing up who hated the color pink. I would not buy anything pink. I would not wear pink, except for ballet, because you really can’t avoid it there, but given a choice I’d rather wear that purple leotard – not the pink one. Give me the black tights –

Mickey Mouse Kazari Sushi

I am not really a morning person, but I’ve always had this positive association with getting up early and getting to see the sunrise – it always makes me really happy. And I think this comes from my childhood, where as a family… we weren’t really early risers if we could help it, but about

“A” Kazari Makizushi

I am an introvert. I’m a shy awkward nervous socially inept introvert – which means meeting new people is always a little nerve-wracking for me, but I can deal with the meeting new people. What makes it really really terrible is when there’s an ice breaker. Does anybody actually like this? I can never come

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Just like pretty much everyone else out there, I hated vegetables as a kid. I was not a fan of really any type of vegetables. Lucky for me my parents never tried to feed me brussels sprouts so I didn’t have the hate for brussels sproutts that a lot of people have, but in general

Traffic Light Kazari Makizushi

Life often feels like a series of stops and gos. Especially here in the time of covid. Feeling motivated, have good ideas, energetic for once? Let’s gooooo! And then you remember. We’re in the middle of a pandemic. Everything’s terrible. And energy? Who has energy these days? So be kind to yourself. Remember that everything’s
