I’ve been wanting a food dehydrator since FOREVER and after many years of anticipation….I finally decided to bite my tongue and get one. And of course, the first thing I made had to be apple chips because as you may know by now, I LOVE APPLES! Don’t fret if you don’t have a dehydrator though […]

Candy Japan review
A couple of days ago, I received a lovely package from CandyJapan. Candy Japan is a Japanese snack subscription site that ships snacks to your door all the way from Japan! Unlike most snack subscription sites, Candy Japan sends you TWO packages a month for $25. I know, it’s a complete steal right? I mean […]
Homemade caramel corn
I don’t know about you but I go through these bouts where I’m obsessed with certain snacks and lately it’s been popcorn.

Strawberry Daifuku

Most of the time the filling for Daifuku is red bean (anko) paste but sometimes a strawberry gets wrapped in there as well for extra deliciousness. I think that these Japanese cakes are the cutest things ever especially when […]
Chocolate almond Pocky!
Lil’ bun got a pack of chocolate almond Pocky from the critter the other day and when she finished them off, all she wanted was MORE of it. I swear they put some magical sprinkles in there to make them super yums or something. Anyways, I may not know what the “secret ingredients” that make […]
