I’m not saying another year has come and gone, but this cake ain’t for no one. This tic mark represents the year I officially turn ‘old’ according to my boyfriend, and that I have to start revising previous years for fear of the trade them in, trade them up policy. It’s ok, you should hear what I…
Timing is everything, and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time to score myself a ticket to the third annual Big Summer Potluck. BSP3 is the kind of foodie event that is a little more grounded from the usual food events and you aren’t going to find forums on…
A Classic juicy burger, topped with cheese and bacon. Yeah, you have it fixed in your mind. This Ultimate Steak House burger is that burger. So. Good. Let’s talk meat. The perfect fat kid meal for any time of year. Burgers. Is it thin patties on a griddle top that make the best burger or…
Clearly my attention span rivals that of my cat because there was much more to yesterdays post that I completely forgot about until later in the day… Yesterday, I joked about celebrating my 200th decline over at Foodgawker, but really I was just poking fun. I have long since gotten over the sting of yet another decline…
It’s time to start brainstorming for the upcoming Father’s Day weekend. When I think of Father’s Day, I think of fishing, grilling, beach trips and back yard sitting. Most of all I think of burgers, steaks, ribs, and dogs! Sure, celebrating dad by taking him out to a nice restaurant is great, but what dad doesn’t love…
Are you hungry? Well you better be for this round of the Great Cheesesteak Debate as the boys chow down on steaks from two of Delaware’s best known chains. **The following text is not Kita from Pass the Sushi, but rather Chris and Sean the two guys in charge of this weekly cheese steak…
The boys are back after a long hiatus for some real deal cheese steak lovin. They are taking it home to Tony Luke’s and Jim’s this week to see who can bring the beef and wiz in these two landmark Philly steak shops. So get your appetite ready and let’s see who can be called the champ –…
Just in case a savory breakfast is not what you had in mind for Mother’s Day, I figured we should sneak this French toast post in as well. And two recipes from the same book in two days? You should all know what that means. A giveaway! Remember when I said I was done with…
I bet you had just about written our little cheese steak debate off for good. But the boys are back, after a few weeks of training and down time, and they’re hungry! This week’s challenge is a hard one, because a good customer of mine is a loyal employee of one of the shops involved and…
The Great Cheese Steak Debate 2011 continues! Today’s battle pairs up a Philadelphia cheese steak haven, Steve’s with Leo’s Steak Shop in Folcraft. I know its been a few weeks since our last Cheese Steak challenge, but don’t worry, they aren’t a thing of the past. We are all anxiously awaiting the final throwdown between Philly…
This are getting hectic this holiday season, but the great cheese steak challenge continues with some local Delaware chains. Claymont Steak Shop and Pat’s are two locals hat I can remember throughout my entire childhood for quick weeknight meals when no one was willing to cook. When it comes down to it though, can either…
It’s another round of the Great Cheese Steak Debate, taking place on the streets of Philly this week. John’s Roast Pork versus Philip’s Steaks – Two steak shops I’ve never been to. But I can tell you that if I don’t get one soon, there will be one hungry Kita to answer to! **The following text…
The great cheese steak debate continues this week, in my home state of Delaware, where two small shops go head to head. You won’t find me driving to Philly for just a cheese steak, I have hoagie shops here I like to visit. I have never tried either of these shops out, but after three…
Cheese steak debate, week two! This one has to be one of the loudest debates – Pat’s Vs. Geno’s! Everyone seems to have an opinion (well, duh, this is Philly we’re talking about) but the thing is, I’m not a fan of either. I think there are many of other places that make a better…
Cheese steak is the perfect comfort food, but who makes the best tasting cheese steak? A friend of mine recently engaged his Facebook friends in a classic debate for our area; Who makes the best Philly Cheese Steak? Growing up near Philly, it’s in our blood to have an opinion on the matter and even more…
Black bean brownies are all of the rage, so I really thought I’d like them, but I didn’t. They can’t all be winners, right? As far as recipes go, this one was a failure for me. And frankly, it would be unrealistic to assume everything that comes out of my kitchen is covered in awesomesauce….
Martinis are happening for the 4th of July. Specifically, honeydew and watermelon martinis! We’re keeping it simple today, with the snippet from this month’s email. Summer has officially claimed the throne, filling the long days with heat, humidity and a million reasons to be outdoors grilling. But, I’m sure you’ve already got today’s menu all…
#Manfoodweek and the last of my Father’s Day menu for the week is one of those go big or go home type of meals. It can be summed up in two words “fat kid-tacular” as stated and copyrighted by my boyfriend who when asked to help choose the pictures stated, “It doesn’t matter. They are…
Boston cream pie is a dessert for dads everywhere. I’m my father’s daughter. Sure I’m not as tan as him, my eyes aren’t blue, and we joke around that I’m not his, but there’s no denying it. I’m his. 100%. And I wouldn’t change that for the world. My daddy is the world’s best daddy. He…
Iron skillet pan seared burger patties of perfection? Sold. The From Away Burger. This was a recipe I had to try. I am a meatarian any which way you slice it. I’ll enthusiastically take a slab of beef over the worlds most tantalizing desserts every single time. I’m not sure how my parents programmed me…
Chocolate jimmy sandwiches for Mother’s Day. I wasn’t sure how to cover this topic here on Pass the Sushi. My mother and I had an interesting dynamic, and I always considered Mother’s Day one of the holidays I could skip over without much concern. However, as a food blogger, I knew the Internet would be…
Irish cream fudge is the perfect sweet treat for St. Patrick’s Day. Or heck, any day that you want some creamy homemade fudge! It was about a year ago when I noticed I was no longer flipping through cookbooks just waiting for the next delicious thing to pop out at me. No, I was reading…
Angel food cake is a light, fluffy, fat free dessert cake that is delicious and really easy to make – IF you follow the recipe instructions and have some patience. I don’t win them all in the kitchen. I think it would be stupid of me to think I would. I’ve seen my fair share…
Challah is a special Jewish braided egg bread that’s eaten on the Sabbath and certain special holidays. It’s not fussy to make and can be prepared and baked up in just a few hours. I’m not a fan of false advertising. I get 3 or 4 emails a day from stores, clothing companies, etc. Nothing…
Cannoli cupcakes are sweet vanilla cake filled with sweetened ricotta cheese and bittersweet chocolate, then frosted with a rich vanilla bean buttercream. Amazing! And on the 5th day, she just couldn’t take it anymore! OK, maybe it was the 4th. Who’s counting? I’m fed up with typing about being sick (really – that’s not fun…
Ditch the boring toast! This recipe unlocks the secrets to the best French toast, a fluffy and flavorful breakfast that’s easier than you think. Looking for the best French toast recipe?

Had your fill of stuffing and turkey, made your way through the masses of people on Black Friday and still not feeling the jingle in your jolly? Well, I’m here to help with some awesome events to get you in the mood! Grab your mittens and come join Pass the Sushi on Saturday December 4th…
Salted caramel chocolate tart tastes amazingly like a Twix candy bar. Salted caramel and chocolate inside of a tender shortbread crust. The perfect dessert on good days… and bad days. In about 6 hours the alarm clock is going to go off… not once but at least 4 times with seven minute intervals before someone…
Asian pot stickers are delicious Asian dumplings filled with spinach, green onions, ginger, and pork. They’re a tasty appetizer, or serve them with a side salad for a light meal. Somehow this holiday weekend has turned into a 3 ring circus of sorts for me. Ever since the BF and I got together the one thing I…
Well, I finally went ahead and made a facebook page for Pass the Sushi… I kind of feel like a tool (but as it seems to be doing the girls at SiTs some good, hopefully it does for me too). Please check it out on the sidebar. Now, on to your regularly scheduled post.
The Baked cookbook brownies recipe will produce a chewy, rich, chocolaty brownie that your chocolate loving sweet tooth will love! I believe in buying butter in bulk. And unsalted butter at that. Without my bulk purchases of butter, today would have been an epic fail. Or at least a two trips to the store kinda day,…
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…
I pretty much live at my boyfriends house – though everything I own (minus my two fluffballs) is at my parents house or in my uncles basement at this point. I have previously written how its driving me nuts not having a space of my own…. Well, I guess this weekend that all caught up…
I’m loving my new layout. I wanted a throw back to my original idea but something that also tied in with Silhouette Graphics (not to mention, I’m a sucker for red). Check out the adorable image that Kittifiedmeow did for my about page! There’s more to come with the new design, I just jumped the…
This cornbread stuffed chicken recipe is going to make you a star at your dinner table! Chicken breasts are filled with moist cornbread stuffing and served with a creamy mushroom sauce. This week was awesome! We are almost done remodeling our bathroom on a dime. The tile’s been laid, the sink spray painted (yes, that’s right),…
I love my some Christmas cheer but everything gets so stressful at times. My uncles birthday is New Years Eve and that stinks cuz he never gets a party just for himself, but on the other hand, the whole world celebrates his birthday. Kind of. So we were finally able to get together Thursday night…
Oh wait, we don’t have a steamer… Most kitchens have an oven and a stove top. The kitchen I am currently doing most of my food fiddling in doesn’t. Not that it doesn’t. There is a space being occupied by an oven, but it doesn’t bake. There’s a stove top on the top of the…
This week is my birthday week and, as usual I am preparing for my b-day party. This year I cut the invites by half and don’t have the budget that I would normally have, so its burgers and hot dogs. Nothing too exciting, but hopefully things work out. Some friends are bringing food too 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…
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…
