I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve signed up once again to be a brand ambassador for NAKANO and Holland House. It’s my third year working with these awesome products and their parent company, Mizkan. One of my duties is to let you know when they’re running a special promotion or contest, like NAKANO’s Splash Shootout [...]

Here’s how I usually make roasted vegetables – combine root veggies, olive oil, salt and pepper and some seasonings and cook until done. Since we were having company last week, I wanted to try something new and this recipe from Mizkan caught my eye. I’ve had much experience marinating meats, but have never tried it [...]

While I love how easy it is to use premade World Harbors marinades for Smoked Beer Can Chicken, there’s something to be said for making your own marinade. First, you can control what goes into it, so if you have a food sensitivity you don’t need to worry about anything making you ill. Second, making [...]

I wanted to make a Southern style Thanksgiving this year, so of course collard greens had to be part of the meal. While it’s a great dish for holiday meals, you can make collard greens any time of year, from fancy sit down dinners to backyard barbeque parties. Usually, collard greens are made with a [...]

One of my family’s favorite summer time appetizers is Caprese. Sometimes I think that we grow basil and tomatoes just to have this dish. Traditionally it’s made with red wine vinegar, but I enjoy it with Nakano Rice Vinegar, which I find has a lighter taste and doesn’t overpower the basil, cheese and tomatoes. This [...]

I’ve always used NAKANO Rice Vinegar to make sushi rice. However, now that I’ve become more familiar with their products, I use their rice vinegar in any recipe that calls for other types of vinegars. For example, this summer, we’ve been making a lot of salads, so I’ve been making salad dressing with NAKANO Rice [...]

The problem with making roast beef is figuring out what to do with the leftovers, since reheating overcooks and dries out the meat. Sure, you could thinly slice the roast beef for sandwiches. But my favorite way of eating leftover roast beef (or venison) is cold and in a salad. You can either thinly slice [...]

We’ve had a crazy fall season here in Colorado. Most days have been in the ‘60s and ‘70s until late last week when we had our first overnight freeze warnings. That meant we had to harvest what’s left of our tomato crop – our green tomato crop, that is. Since I got into canning this [...]

This summer NAKANO is encouraging us to splash it on! That’s right, just go ahead and splash their gluten free rice vinegars on veggies, pasta salads, grilled fish and chicken, and more. Inspired by some feta cheese and a gigantic seedless watermelon that my husband bought at Costco, I came up with this watermelon salad [...]

They’re all natural, gluten free, contain no preservatives, and have 50% less sodium than other rice vinegars. NAKANO Natural Rice Vinegar is unsweetened, has no sodium and can be used [...]
