I am a ‘doer.’ The type of person who doesn’t wait for anything else – if something needs to change, I change it. Its an amazing ability I poses that I have learned not everyone does. Some people just don’t change things. Or change things very very slowly. So, where I have not embraced my…

Grilled chicken kabobs are a recipe that uses fresh chicken breast and garden vegetables. Season them up, put them onto skewers and grill them up for an easy weeknight dinner.

This weekend hit the spot. It was perfect and I was able to start actually putting things into the ground. My BF put mulch and weed barrier down for me and his mom brought over some already established (… less likely for my un-garden-educated self to kill) plants over. So Sunday morning, which no real…
Honey-ginger glazed chicken is a sweet, slightly sticky, delicious chicken dinner recipe. These chicken bites have Asian inspired flavors and they’re as easy to make as they are to eat.

This no-knead artisan bread recipe is adapted from the cookbook, “Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day”. It’s a great recipe to use when baking Artisan bread for the first time.

Chicken manicotti is Italian comfort food at its best. Chicken, cheeses, and a rich tomato sauce tucked into pasta shells and baked up with even more cheese. Dinner never tasted so good. We’ve all danced around our kitchens fantasizing about being the next food network diva (I mean some of them are so boring, a…

Asian pot stickers are the perfect appetizer for a night of homemade Chinese takeout. These delicious dumplings are filled with ground pork, scallions, and ginger. My “Two New” for this week is a cheat, kind of. I didn’t get to make two new recipes this week because of an overabundance of work – at both…
Today’s blog breaks the Pass the Sushi rules. There’s no food – just ramblings from myself about the craziness that is my life. A few weeks ago my cats moved into my boyfriends house (which was a personal meltdown for another day as I generally don’t believe in living together). He (the bf) has a…

There’s something cute and charming about sitting around watching fireworks and relaxing. Unfortunately, that is not on my agenda for this year… The parents are hosting a shindig in the backyard for the 4th of July. Because, pre-made beef burgers and hot dogs are not even an option with my family at these kinds of…
Pass the Sushi is under construction. This is a temporary look until I figure out exactly what I want to do with the look. I am debating whether to stick with the original look and just clean up the code a lot or turn the whole thing around. I’m a girl, its my prerogative to…
So, with only a few more light switches and trim work to go my kitchen is almost back in tip top condition. I am both relieved to finally have a functioning kitchen again (just in time for the holidays) and kind of saddened by the fact that my house wont be filled with friendly faces…
Party foods are essential for any outdoor barbecue or picnic. So last week I threw my annual backyard get bash where I invite people from the comic book store, DND and a few other walks of my life to get together and chill. It usually rocks but this year had more stress involved then previous…
