What better way to kick off the holidays than with a nice festive cocktail? I began researching for cocktails at my annual Ugly Sweater Cookie Exchange and started to think about fun cocktails I could make that were Japanese inspired. I love Japanese plum wine and sake by themselves, so thought they would be easy […]
If you’re a mom like me and you see your kid eating fish with a smile on their face, it makes you jump for joy at the thought of all those Omega-3 fatty acids going to their brain. It’s a rare occasion in our household but whenever I make these Panko battered fish sticks (or […]
These last few months have been busy ones as we prepared for and delivered our 3rd child, Eleanor Akemi Kahn! My mom and in-laws came to help and stay with us for over a month combined and we are so thankful. Amongst the millions of things my mom did for us while here, she whipped […]
This is one of my favorite go-to recipes for my family, for guests, for picnics, you name it! It’s awesome for left-overs as my husband can attest to when he takes them to work. I just recently made this dish for my cousins who came over for a visit and they loved it too. The […]
This easy chicken recipe is a big hit for play dates, picnics, and parties. Leftovers can be re-heated in a toaster oven or a quick broil to get back the crispy coating. They taste great warm or cold and are a complete meal with gohan (rice) and steamed broccoli or spinach. This is my “go […]

I’ve had a bit of a hiatus from blogging recently due to some good and bad news. Good news is that I am in my 2nd trimester of pregnancy! Bad news is that I’ve had an aversion to most food and especially to cooking for the last 4 months. This has made it a bit […]
Growing up, my mom always bought certain brands of Japanese products, mostly from small Japanese markets that weren’t always that close to our house. We’ve come a long way since exotic “sushi” was featured in the movie, “Sixteen Candles”. Now Japanese food and sushi are pretty common and ingredients are fairly easy to find in […]
My kids are big on dessert, so of course, I try to trick them with healthy versions all the time. They love sliced bananas and/or strawberries with a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Homemade fruit pops are also one of our staples. I just love the Zoku instant popsicle maker because we can have instant homemade […]
I bought these super cool bento boxes at Pottery Barn Kids and I absolutely love them! It’s always a chore to figure out what to put in my kids lunches but for some reason, these containers make it easy because each compartment is good for different things (a fruit, a veggie, a snack, a main […]
