Food gifts: Happy New Year bunny! We could’ve gone all out and made “osechi”, a very traditional bento/meal for a new year with 16 different dishes, but it’s very time consuming and can cost a lot since I have to get many ingredients at a Japanese supermarket… and I’m lazy. So we just decided to make our favorite easy & lazy meal, sushi! But I thought it’d be too boring to have just plain salmon and tuna, so I added this

Food gift for Christmas: Snowman Cupcakes I must be loving Snowmen this year! I think I love snowmen because they work at any time during the winter. I think snowmen are perfectly acceptable for all of December and January...perhaps longer! I made this super cute Snowman Cupcakes and couldn't help but share them with you. To make these you will need: White cake mix (you can use another kind but I like how this keeps everything light and white) White frosting (I just used it out

carved butternut squash skull Halloween skull lantern out of a butternut squash, with a chunk leftover for some scrumptious soup (my fave kind of all time, not just du jour!). Yes, I do love pumpkins. But, of all gourds, butternut squashes are tops. There’s no better shape for a carved skull than the butternut squash. It is bulbous, hollow in the bulb (perfect place for a tea light), and has a narrow shaft (appropriate shape for the jaw line). This is my second

Food gift for Halloween How to make funny face lollipops These were supposed to look a lot scarier than they turned out, because we are making them as Halloween treats for Cameron's class.
