First, I have to say thank you, thank you, thank you for all your warm, heartfelt, encouraging comments and emails on my last post.

Cheesecake Dip, O Cheesecake Dip, where have you been all my life? For those who know me really well, you probably know I am not a huge dessert person. In fact, we never have sweets in our house.

Savory, salty, sweet, and umami-rich teriyaki dishes are probably one of the most beloved Japanese foods outside of Japan. You may think teriyaki is a sauce, but ‘teriyaki‘ (照り焼き) in Japanese refers to cooking methods—either grilling, broiling, or pan-frying, and finishing up in a sauce or glaze until the dish has a nice and delicious luster. It can be applied to many ingredients, such as chicken, beef, fish, pork, and tofu....

Between my husband and I, we devoured the 9×13 cake in 24 hours!...
There are many different versions of cheesecake in the world, but the one my family keeps coming back to is soufflé cheesecake. After all, I grew up eating Japanese cheesecake, and it’s hard to resist its light, airy, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Today, I’m sharing Blueberry Cheesecake using my popular Japanese Soufflé Cheesecake recipe as the inspiration. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as my family did. What You’ll Love About This Cheesecake Thanks to the meringue (whipped egg whites), the cheesecake has a fluffy, soufflé-like texture, so it is lighter than regular cheesecake....
Pulse the florets several times until they break down into the consistency of small rice grains. You can chop them thicker if you’d like, but try not to over process them, or they can become a bit mushy. I’ve seen cauliflower rice recipes around - on food blogs, in magazines - and they’ve never really excited me until now. I dunno. It all just sounded rather boring in concept, but Patty and I have been enjoying cauliflower more and more lately, so she suggested I give cauliflower rice another look....

The Story of This Delicious Chocolate Almond Toffee I was never a candy person. However, I love chocolate and I used to be a serious chocoholic according to my mom. About a year ago when we visited Utah to ski, our family had the pleasure of meeting my blogger friend Rachael of La Fuji Mama and her family. She is a Japanese cuisine advocate and shares Japanese recipes on her site, as she and her husband spent years living in Japan....
My freezer is always filled with different frozen treats, to fit the needs of different people. That is primarily because both KR and I love entertaining. We always have friends over for a casual dinner or for a game night. Since we have friends who are vegetarian/vegan, don’t eat eggs, are gluten intolerant or Keto dieters, I try to cater to all of them in some form or the other when they come home....
If sandwiches are a common lunch menu in the United States, noodle dishes are the equivalent counterpart in Japan. We eat noodles all year round because nothing will keep Japanese people from their noodles. During the summer months, noodle shops offer extensive cold soba or cold udon noodle menus that refresh the palate and keep things cool. Home cooks in Japan make varieties of cold noodle dishes, and today’s recipe – Cold Curry Udon (冷やしカレーうどん) – is enjoyable to dig into during these sweltering days....
When the weather gets too hot, 1) your appetite goes down, 2) you don’t want to cook, 3) all you want to eat is something cold like Green Tea Shaved Ice to cool down. Sure, before I was a mom, I skipped a meal and enjoyed cold treats for lunch! But now that I have children, I have to think of QUICK and EASY (and cold!) dishes for our lunch....
One of our family’s favorites, sweet corn, is in season from June to October. While we spent the summer in Japan, I received a lot of recipe requests for Corn Potage and Japanese Corn Soup.

As the nights are starting to make a subtle shift with a touch of cool air, this Japanese Corn Potage or Corn Soup would be the coziest way to savor the deliciousness of the last of the season’s produce....

If you’ve ever been to a taco joint and ordered fish tacos, you’ve probably enjoyed it already. Or at least some version of it. It’s a pretty common addition to crispy fish. Grilled fish, too. And sushi. It’s so good drizzled over a rice filled sushi roll....
