How to Make Temarizushi (ball-shaped sushi)

Foodwhirl fave La Fuji Mama has a how-to on making temarizushi (ball-shaped sushi). I’ve never tried this, but it looks like a great appetizer idea!

Not only are they fun and easy to make (especially with my handy-dandy little trick that I’m going to share with you), but they make a…

Summer Shrimp Sushi

Summer Shrimp Sushi

If you’ve never tried to make sushi rolls (maki) before, it’s a fun thing to try… especially if you have a little helper like I did.    It makes a great appetizer or first course for a dinner party–or add a salad or some steamed edamame, and I’d eat it for dinner by itself!

Over at Hapa Bento, Debra explains how! And here are some she reshaped in a fish shaped mold to make faux sushi. (Dot loves any kind of faux sushi!) Okey dokey! I’m out of leftover Easter eggs so this will be th…

April Fools is coming up, and what better way to celebrate with food that’s a little bit unexpected!?  This is a version of ‘Sweet’ Sushi that I’ve made for the past several years, and not only is it delicious & not TOO unhealthy, it’s unique and a lot of fun!  And vegetarian, too — no fish were harmed in the making of it.  If you’re doing an April Fools Party,…

I was out looking around for interesting things to do with corned beef and cabbage, and ran across this fabulous idea from The Cooking of Joy (one of my new fave food blogs!)..  How do you combine sushi and St. Patrick’s Day?  With St. Patty’s Day Maki, of course! Joy says: So after I blogged about receiving cabbage in my bi-weekly Boston Organics delivery and asked what to do with it, I had multip…
