Sushi American Style in Japan

This is one of my new favorites~! Fujimamas Firecracker Roll.
Very tasty. Many types of sushi rolls, well known in the USA are viturally unheard of in Japan. California rolls, spider rolls, and many more. This Firecracker roll has tuna, shirmp tempura, cucumber and a spicy mayo. A meal all on it's own. The mix of tastes and textures is quite something. Also fun to share. We've been making this one since the spring of this year. Totally terrific.

Summer Tasty Dinner

In Summer time many people don’t enjoy cooking. Too much fuss, too much fun to be missed outside. But summer is when the food is fresh, and a good healthy light meal is so satisfying.

I am an unapologetic omnivore. I respect vegetarians but I am not one of them. So it is kind of surprising that one of my favorite food blogs is 101 Cookbooks. The author Heidi is an amazing photographer, and creative chef. Her recipes are fantastic and though they are all vegetarian, I never even notice that. It is just good food. Not vegetarian food—just good food.

So even though this season is often not thought of as a big time for cooking… Try this is a great little summery- recipe. Fast, fun, healthy and delicious. Plus I love avocados and brown rice. And it is a snap.
