Meatless Mondays
Have you ever tried a vegetarian or vegan diet? It’s tough, because animal products are such a big part of the culinary world. It’s one of those things that you try with a super open mind and stick with it for maybe a week before dropping out. That’s why my family and I have decided,…

You know me. I love all healthy, and delicious foods. Who couldn’t?

Not so bad!
The first thing that my family and I do when at a Japanese restaurant is look for the Agadashi tofu!

When you’ve found a food that you’re into, it’s never a…
Party Mix Pleasures
Cheetos, Cheez-Its, two types of Chex cereal, Honey Combs, and Bugles; all topped off with Japanese Furikake seasoning and a sugary butter sauce.

To be honest, nothing there beats that…
Tonkat-Sue
Japanese Tonkatsu, or chicken/pork cutlet, is something that you must try. Whenever my mom makes it for dinner, I go crazy! It’s like fried chicken, but so much more delicious. Every now and then my mom will make us chicken or pork Tonkatsu. It’s a real treat, but whenever I’m chowing down on those tender, crunchy…
Sweet Kombucha
I’m sure all of you have heard of the trending drink, Kombucha, before, but the question is, have you actually tried it? I was walking around at Robert’s Market (Portola Valley’s “Safeway”) last week and the first aisle I visited was the drinks section. As my eyes skimmed over Arizona Tea, Gatorade, Izee’s, and all…
