I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

California Roll Jars

Tired of boring sandwiches for lunch? If you like sushi but don't like the fuss of making them, whip up a few of these California Roll Jars and you'll be looking forward to lunchtime!


Ingredients:
1/2 cup uncooked sticky rice (I used brown but white is good)
1/4 tsp salt
1 nori sheet
1 avocado, cubed
some cubed cucumber
some julienned carrot
1 can albacore tuna
1  1/2 tsps rice vinegar
1  1/2 tsps sugar

Your choice of garnishes: pickled ginger, sesame seeds, soya sauce
Rinse the rice then cook as per package directions with salt. Dissolve the sugar in rice vinegar and mix into the cooked rice.

Layer a base of rice in each jar, then start layering the rest of the ingredients. I used albacore but crab, canned salmon or (duh) sushi-grade salmon could be used but I'm not that adventurous! 
And don't forget to add strips of nori like I did in my first jar. Not a "roll" without the seaweed!
Top with a final layer of rice then add pickled ginger, sesame seeds or whatever floats your boat. Have a little container of soya sauce or tamari for drizzling.

When's lunch??
Makes 3 - 1/2 pint jars
