#158: Japanese Ginger Carrot Salad & Miso Soup
When I was thinking about appetizers I wanted to make for this last recipe this go around, I wanted to try to make something that was a bit more of an appetizer for a meal rather than it being an hors d’oeuvre to snack on like our previous recipes this month. And so, after ordering…

#157: California Roll
I’ve been meaning to make a sushi recipe for a while now, especially after we made the onigiri recipe a few years ago, and I thought that the California Roll would be the perfect one to start with! The California Roll interestingly has a complicated origin story, with the roll’s invention being disputed, either being…

#156: Calamari
Calamari is one of my favorite things to eat when I get fried seafood. The crunchy exterior with a chewy, but tender center in a ring shape is just the best when made properly. But often when I order this appetizer at a restaurant, it’s usually lacking in some department. So, I typically pass over…

#155: Baked Brie w/ Fig Jam
When thinking of what appetizers I wanted to make this go around, I wanted to focus on appetizers that were quick to make, but I still wanted the recipe to be something that will impress your party guests more than just cheese and crackers. So, for our first recipe this month, I thought it would…

#145: Baguette (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33)
When I was planning out recipes for this month, I was really excited to make a recipe for one of my most anticipated games this year. But, when I was playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, I couldn’t find any food in the game other than giant pieces of meat for some reason(?), so I was…

#144: Petal Blizzard Layered Salad (Pokemon Sleep)
I was trying to think of different recipes to do for this round of AniMAY and we haven’t really been playing many games recently that have a ton of food to choose from, but I’ve been playing this mobile game called Pokemon Sleep, that has been a fun way to wind down the day feeding…

#143: Pot Pie (Xenoblade Chronicles X)
Another year of AniMAY means that it’s time to create another Xenoblade recipe from scratch and with Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition releasing earlier this year, I thought that we could make something from that game! There’s actually a few recipes to choose from in this game, but I’ve been meaning to make a pot…

#142: Shrimp Cocktail
The first time I had heard about this dish was actually from the animated movie, The Incredibles, when Mr. Incredible is lavished with what I thought was a very fancy meal, but it actually turned out to be quite a cheap and easy thing to make, even from scratch. Of course, you can buy pre-made…

#141: Lomo Saltado
When I was first looking into this recipe, I was surprised to find out that its roots are more Asian than it might seem at first glance. A famous and traditional dish in Peru, Lomo Saltado actually finds its origin from the Chinese immigrants to Peru from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who…

#140: Takoyaki (たこ焼き)
I’ve been meaning to make this recipe for a while now since it’s one of my favorite appetizers to get at Japanese restaurants as well as from street vendors whenever I visit Japan. Though, with takoyaki requiring special equipment to make, I was putting it off. But with us being a bit adventurous this month,…
