This is kind of a sushi burrito. I made Ahi Tuna Sushi the other day and cut up far too many vegetables for it! So, I have plenty of sliced cucumbers, carrots, and avocados that I only have so much time to use. I also […]
Fall is in full swing and I’ve been craving fruit and nuts in absolutely everything. Maybe it’s the thought of pie in the air? And probably a fair to do with growing up in apple country. But I consider fall a time for apples and […]
