Oh my gosh! Earlier this week, I took a sushi making class with my coworkers from one of my dental offices as part of our team building exercises.
I’ve attempted to make California rolls on my own before, but they always came out a little disappointing. Something was always off, the rice always stuck to my hands, the rolls smushed, and it was soo time consuming. So I sort of gave up on it. Lol. Until now.
I wasn’t really sure what this class would be like, but it turned out to be so much fun. We learned how to make California rolls, Rainbow Rolls, and hand rolls. Plus, we got to work on our knife skills and how to cut fish for sushi. A fun and informative class.
Plus, we had to face a sushi challenge to create a Halloween themed sushi in 15 minutes.
If you get the chance, you try taking this class with Breakthrough Sushi.
Chocolate, Chocolate and More
Have you heard of the blog, Chocolate, Chocolate and More? Joan, the blogger behind Chocolate, Chocolate and More, passed away unexpectedly yesterday morning in her sleep leaving behind three children. She supported her family using the income generated by her blog. Although there won’t be new posts, any time someone visits her blog, the traffic will create income to support her family. So today, I’m posting several links to recipes of desserts that I’ll be dreaming of tonight.
These Mud Hen Bars look so delicious.
For those without an oven, these Chocolate No Bake Cookies.
These Black Forest Cookie Cups are perfect for entertaining.
Sugar Cake Cookies. Yes, please.
Another no bake recipe. No Bake White Chocolate Velvet Pie.
These Chewy Oatmeal Coconut Cookies look so easy to make.
3 Minute Fudge. I’m sold.
Brownie Bottom Cheesecake Bars. Brownies and cheesecake? Can I have seconds?

Not trusting my selection of fresh fish, I make a pseudo-sushi using imitation crab meat, cucumber and avocado– using a kit I bought years ago. One of these days I’ll have to research better on buying the appropriate fish. Nice post.
I think making sushi isn’t as easy as it looks! I believe it’s quite difficult to make! But your rolls look great!
I love the idea of sushi making classes as a team event! So much fun, and you get to eat it all at the end. What a brilliant idea!
Hello! I’ve recently started following your blog and love your ideas/posts. I’ve nominated you for the Liebster Award and hope you’ll check out my post when you get the chance and pay it forward to other bloggers!

What went into the cucumber salad on the side of the plate? It looks good!
It’s just thinly sliced cucumber, seaweed, and a little salt. =)
I’ve always wanted to take a sushi making class! I’ll have to look for one in Boston that is hopefully as good as the one at Breakthrough Sushi. Have a nice weekend, Andrea!
Oh, I’m not a fan of sushi, but I’ll check out other recipes:)
