If you can't find canned pumpkin in the store, you can roast your own. You don't even need a pumpkin, you can use kabocha squash, butternut squash, acorn squash, or any of the other varieties of hard winter squashes available at your grocery store. If you do use pumpkin, it is important not to use the "jack-o-lantern" type pumpkins because they are stringy, bitter, and not grown for human consumption. Look for sugar or pie pumpkins for best results. My favorite squash to roast is kabocha squash, which is typically available all year long in Asian grocery stores. [More]

I love teriyaki anything, and the addition of blueberries adds a little sweetness and increases the antioxidant value of this sauce. Use this sauce for your stir fry dishes, use it as a marinate for baked tofu, or use it as a dip for gyoza. If you wanted, you could even use it as a salad dressing, your imagination is the only limiting factor. [More]

For the love of sushi... After giving up fish for health and ethical reasons, many sushi lovers don't know where to turn. This tomato sashimi provides the flavors of the ocean and a familiar texture that reminds sushi lovers of fresh ahi tuna or salmon. After all, the sushi is actually the rice; it is the flavor that is paired with the sushi rice that is important. The time it takes to marinate the tomatoes makes it all worthwhile. You have to try this recipe! [More]

Yes, you can make a pecan pie without the use of corn syrup and eggs. The magic is buckwheat cereal and dates! Buckwheat "milk" sweetened with dates thickens perfectly when heated. I highly recommend this recipe for a holiday dessert or a sweet treat any time of year. [More]
