I don’t know about you – but I am quitting this winter. I am quitting it so hard, that even as you read this, I am sipping a fruity cocktail on a beach somewhere. A warm beach, with palm trees, coconuts, and pool boys. Who needs a pool boy at the beach? Who cares! There will be pool boys (and if they want a good tip, they will be feeding me a steady stream of coconut rum). Bring on heatwaves, bring on sunscreen, and insufferably humid days. Bring on spring gardens, bad tan lines, and s’mores. Bring on massive piles of […]

Enchilada Pasta Skillet & a Le Creuset Skillet Giveaway
To wrap up an amazing year at Pass the Sushi I have one more killer giveaway for you. There are some big changes in store for the blog next year, some large goals for 2013, and a lot more sass and fun. But that’s for a future post. For today, in this crazy busy week, I have a simple weeknight meal for you and a chance to win this gorgeous skillet. Since receiving my Le Creuset skillet, I think all of my other skillets have grown jealous and accumulated a thin layer of dust. I find myself keeping this bad boy ready […]
Chile and Corn Chowder & a BigKitchen Le Creuset Giveaway
Our final Soup Kitchen Monday is here! I’m kind of sad about this one, as my inner obsession with soup really made itself known during the last 13 weeks. We’re going out with a bang though! The wonderful people over at BigKitchen worked some Christmas magic, and were able to send me a beautiful Le Creuset French Oven to whip up these classic soups and stews for you while I was running the Soup Kitchen. Talk about making the holidays cherry and bright! The French Oven has pretty much replaced all of my old stock pots, except for that giant over-sized one that I use […]

Triple Peanut and Chocolate Chip Cookies
It’s full on gift giving season now whether you’re ready or not. Lucky for you, I was brainstorming with a friend of mine and we came up with the idea of a great little stocking just for foodies! If you are looking for some inspiration for your culinary inspired friends, we got you covered! Wine Pump I can’t say how many bottles of wine have ended up being dumped down the drain after a party. Corks break and you don’t know how to properly store the leftovers. This cute little gift boxed vacuum / pressure pump from Peugeot removes air from the bottle to preserve your […]
Melon Granita
This last week was amazing. Fast. A blur. But amazing. A huge thank you to all the bakers, bloggers, and bidders who helped us raise $2812 in the Muffins for Muffin Bake Sale for Response-A-Bull Rescue!! Every item we had up for auction went, bids started coming in before the auction even went live and continued to fill my inbox all day long. My wonderful clients and friends at Captain Blue Hen picked out cupcakes and muffins and donated as well – and showed a ton of patience as I managed the bake sale while trying to ring them up. There […]
Braised Cola Onions & Sausage
This Braised Cola Onions and Sausage recipe is a hearty meal, perfect for those cool fall nights. And easy to throw together in a pinch. Most of the time I stare at into the kitchen waiting for a recipe to pop into my head just to find that although the pantry is over stocked, I don’t have a single thing I need on hand. Today’s post was different. I had direction. A group of fantastic bloggers was challenged by Williams-Sonoma and Le Creuset to show off the beautiful color of cookware; Quince. Immediately, warm comforting meals came to mind – […]
Quick and Easy Rocky Road Fudge
Yo Kita (said in my most Bitchin’ Kitchen Nadia G voice) what’s up with the wonky post schedule this week? Um, It’s Christmas, Fonz. I promise a normal week next week complete with New Years countdowns, resolutions and killer recipes. But for today, I just got done at the gym, my house is still a crazy hot mess, my cat has claimed my lap and my legs have gone past the tingly asleep stage to the omg you are going to fall on your face when you stand up and my dog has the most disgusting farts in the world. So for […]
Eggnog Frangelico Gelato & Hand Made Ice Cream Scoop Giveaway
You know that old saying that nice things come in small packages? Well that’s what comes to mind with today’s post. Even though the end of the year has been kind to me with the current BigKitchen Le Creuset giveaway going on (and another surprise giveaway next week) today’s giveaway is very special to me. It may not come in a bright orange box, and Santa can’t sneak it down the chimney, because this one is hand made just for you by my man. If you are a long time follower of Pass the Sushi, or one of the many friends in […]
Chicken and Dumplings get Mixed
Nothing says cozy like a quiet mountain cabin easily an hour from anything major with a large fireplace and a balcony with a view that goes on for miles out over the woods. Or a big pot of homemade chicken and dumplings. Lucky for me, that’s exactly how I got to spend Mountain Lake Hotel attending the first ever Mixed Con. Mixed was hosted by the bubbly Paula of bell’alimento and super organized Susan of She’s Becoming Doughmestic. The stunning old stone hotel was tucked off of Route 700 in Virginia and was the beautiful location for Dirty Dancing back in […]
Chocolate Chip Cookies and My Christmas Wish List
Chocolate chip cookies made with two types of chocolate chips will always trump single chocolate chip cookies. You need this cookie recipe in your life. I’m not good at Christmas Lists. Santa asks for a list and I can’t think of what to ask for (though, he will debate with me about the truth to that statement). My secret Santa has stated that he simply won’t get me anything I intentionally ask for. But the idea of getting out the crayons and doodling out a a recap of my years good behavior and some stocking stuffers brings out the kid in […]
Homemade White Bread
Homemade white bread, when it’s still warm from the oven, and slathered with butter. Comfort food and then some. There’s no better tasting bread than this recipe! Remember that whole bit about not being a spoiled brat. Yeah, throw that out the window because this year I was indeed spoiled rotten for Christmas. First of all, no one caught the holiday spirit in my neck of the woods, but I told my parents I refused to open presents without a tree. So, they put up the tree – just for me, because they rock. My boyfriend’s parents gave me my […]
About Pass the Sushi & Kita Roberts
Comic shop manager by day – food whore by night. Saving your inner fat kid one recipe at a time. Hi, I’m Kita, a web savvy girl geek and who can rock an apron like there is no tomorrow. I love to travel, mountain bike and run. All that requires good eats. This whole thing balances itself out. I have a minor obsession with the color red and hate cilantro. My favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip and I think that Twizzlers are best kept under the front seat of your car as an emergency ration. I know that diet […]
