Favorite Sushi Place in St. Louis


My boyfriend did not like the idea of sushi. Cold, raw sea creatures wrapped in seaweed and other unknown things. Something cooked and warm sounded more suitable. He asked me where i'd like to go for my birthday dinner. I love sushi, so obvious choice! We were also newer to the St. Louis scene, and wasn't sure what was good. It took us a while to find this place, but once we both tried it we were hooked. He started his sushi journey with a tame maki roll; the middle roll pictured here called the Sakura Roll. The salmon is fried, with cucumber, avocado and spicy mayo wrapped in pink soy paper. Guess what part he didn't like? The soy paper was pink ;). Now it's our go-to sushi place. It's Wasabi Sushi Bar in Town and Country. It's close, and they have Tuesday $6 sushi roll specials. So, that is where we spend a lot of our Tuesdays! We powered through these last Tuesday. From left to right are the Wasabi Special, Spicy Mango, Sakura, Spicy Omega, and my favorite (and that is half gone in this picture) the Rainbow Roll.

I Ate: Pumpkin .....

Many people have asked me if I am obsessed with pumpkin spice. I would say that anyone who likes eating weird artificially flavored coffee, cheerios, cereal, and even pop-tarts because it has the name 'pumpkin spice' in it, or hitting up Starbucks everyday for their PSL fix is obsessed. I am not obsessed. That doesn't mean I haven't tried my fair share of pumpkin infused items that most would not rationally think would make it taste good. Let's talk about what I ate/drank recently that I would encourage anyone to try, and might change the minds of those that think us pumpkin lovers are crazy. Schlafly Pumpkin Ale This would surprise you. If the idea of eating froufrou beer turns you away from this seasonal flavor, I get it. I didn't try it until yesterday, which happened to be National Pumpkin Day. I thought, today I will try this in light of the holiday. AND it might suck. It didn't! Not overly sweet, not artificial. it's literally made from the ma...

Delicious Cocoa Smoothie on a Budget

It has been one hot summer. The only way to beat the heat is with something cold and refreshing. I have been hitting up Smoothie King just down the road from where I live. It leaves me refreshed, but also filled with extra calories and broke (they are expensive!). I have been experimenting for a few weeks to perfect a smoothie that is similar to Smoothie King, but is cheaper to make and has less calories. I love cocoa, and this frozen yogurt smoothie tastes creamy and delicious. It's just like a frozen hot chocolate. You'll need a good blender. I have a ninja blender, and it does a great job in creating a smooth consistency. Here's the recipe: Cocoa Yogurt Smoothie 2 small servings or 1 large serving 1 cup of water 1 T cocoa powder (not unsweetened. I use Ghirardelli Frozen Hot Cocoa Powder) 1 T powdered milk 2 T turbinado cane sugar (I use sugar in the raw) 1 scoop of Vanilla Protein powder (any kind you want--I use Elevation Whey Protein powder) 2 small sc...
