Life as a food blogger 📸🍽️
.
Expectation: Show up to every event with the best homemade food all the time.
.
Reality: I’m just a mom who likes to cook and share my recipes. And always thinking I have more time than I do, but then stress myself out because I have to cook the recipe, video it, pack it up, and get to the game on time 🤪
.
All jokes aside. I absolutely love what I do, but not gonna lie sometimes I stress myself out worrying about hitting everyone’s expectations of delicious and beautiful food. Even if it’s just for an after soccer snack. Working on not letting what others think or say bother me as much now days and just do what I love.
.
Happy soccer Saturday ⚽️!!
.
What’s your go to after game snack to bring?

Aloha friends. I’m baaaccck! I know, I know it’s been awhile. Let’s just say life has been keeping me uber busy. But food and cooking and sharing tips and tricks makes me happy, so I’ve made it a point to make time for it in my day.
.
Speaking of tips and tricks, I’ve got a good one for ya. Somehow the bread bag clip always goes missing or breaks at my house, but not to worry. This trick will save you some stress.

They also have chocolate covered bananas. What’s your favorite fruit to cover with chocolate?

Back to school means bring on all the snack ideas. One of my go to’s is onigiri. Japanese rice balls flavored however your heart desires.
.
Sometimes simple is best. A little bit of sushi rice and some @foodlandhi Maika’i Organic Nori Furikake makes for the perfect on the go snack. Fancy it up how you want. You can stuff it with tuna, ume, or even SPAM.
.
What’s your favorite onigiri?!?
