Homemade California Rolls

California Rolls

My daughter just turned five. Presents poured in from all of the country — well, mostly from the Midwest. But one came from Japan!

This recipe is simple to throw together and perfect for an after school snack.

Microwave Potato Chips

If you know me you likely know I have an addiction. For the most part I manage it well, until I don’t. OK, that’s a lie. I’m totally off the wagon and headed to potato chip rock bottom. Last week, I even ate jalapeño flavoured ones. They were awful but I ate them anyway. I’ve long maintained [...]
