I hope you and your family enjoy Make-Your-Own-Sushi night as much as we do. One of my favorite things is linking the fun of cooking with the fun of learning! What is better than reading a book about sushi, and then giving a child the opportunity to make their own? My favorite sushi book I have found so far is, “First Book of Sushi (Word Snacks)”. If you haven’t figured it out already, I love sharing at least one fabulous kids book that goes along with my recipe. It is a tradition I look forward to sharing with our daughter as she grows. A chance to try mixing any variation of fruits and vegetables they would like, and a chance to enjoy the “fruits” of their labor. I think what I like best about Make-Your-Own-Sushi night is it give everyone in the family a chance to be creative. When preparing your sushi rice you can follow the directions on the bag for traditional sushi rice, or follow my recipe for a slightly sweeter rice that goes great with fruit. ![]() All you need to do is prepare the sushi rice, slice up your extra fruits and vegetables into nice thin strips, and pick up some seaweed wraps. Having a Make-Your-Own-Sushi night is really fun and easy. It may not be traditional sushi, but it is still super yummy and a great way to get kids to eat their fruits and vegetables. So we stick to simply vegetable and fruit sushi. We don’t make traditional sushi for two reasons, I don’t trust myself with preparing raw fish, and I think touching raw fish is icky. Now Make-Your-Own-Sushi(ish) night is one of go to meals for using up extra fruits and veggies. ![]() It looked like so much fun, so we bought a sushezi and tried it for ourselves. They were using a Sushezi to make their sushi. My go-tos used to be things like stew, soup, and casseroles, but then I was at a friends when I saw them making their own sushi in this really simple and cool way. I try to come up with things we can make together with some of the leftovers. Then my my husband asks, “whats for dinner”, and I think, goodness I have to make dinner too? It can get a little overwhelming. I feel like I am constantly making something to take somewhere. With all of these parties comes endless amounts of food. The season of parties, family gatherings, and social events is here! Between football parties, holiday parties, and birthday parties our weekends are officially jam packed from here until I become a hermit and refuse to go out in the snow. ![]()
