From shopping for fresh ingredients to the final touches on the plate, these recipes have become regulars on our dinner table because they resonate with the essence of family comfort.

Sushi at home is a creative, fun, and delicious way to spend an afternoon

My son Nick has a special place in his heart for homemade sushi and his favorite is the California rolls with salmon, egg, avocado, and asparagus. 

Nick and I started making sushi together when he was just 6 years old! He loved it so much, he even made his own sushi stand – it was incredibly cute to see. 

What I love about making sushi is that it’s easy and versatile. It’s perfect for getting the kids involved in cooking, and they can customize their rolls with their favorite ingredients. 

And here’s a mom’s secret: these bite-sized delights are also great for car meals when we’re in a rush! Whether we’re heading to Nick’s soccer practice or a family outing, I know that these quick and nutritious bites will fill everyone up.
