I've got a surprise for you guys!
What, you ask?! Our engagement pictures are done! And I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE them! Our photographer Adam did such an amazing job! If you want to check them out, head on over to his site and let me know what you think!
Andy and I love going out for sushi. It's probably one of our go-to things for dinner when we're in one of those indecisive modes. It's always a winner. But it can get a little pricy sometimes, so every now and then, we'll make it at home!
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked rice
1-2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
cooked shrimp
smoked salmon
cream cheese
Sriracha
avocado
cucumber
nori sheets
The great thing about sushi is that you can practically put anything you want it there! Just don't over pack!
The only real work you have to do is make the sushi rice. And that's just basically mixing cooled cooked rice with some seasoned rice vinegar (we don't really have a ratio, just add as much as you see fit!).
We made two different rolls here:
The first being shrimp, avocado, cucumber inside out roll with Sriracha dots on top.
And the second being a traditional roll of smoked salmon, cucumber, and cream cheese.
Both were equally delicious! I made a sushi post last year with a great how-to on how to roll sushi, so just check that out here!
Have you ever made your own sushi? What do you like to put in it?
These look incredible! I'm allergic to seafood, but would eat them in a heart beat if I wasn't! Your photos of the sushi are beautiful. Your engagement photos - *sigh - what happy photos! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWow, you makde awesome sushis! I really learnt a lot from you today!! The pictures are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI really like your engagement photos, my favorite is the one on the bench where you are looking at each other. The fortune cookie is so cool!
ReplyDeleteLove your sushi it's so pretty. I haven't made the inside out sushi yet. Just the nori on the outside, and nigiri
That looks delicious! Man - I haven't tried making sushi at home yet because it seems to be complicated and a lot of work!! I wanna try it out one day though!!
ReplyDeleteHave a Fabulous day!

I love sushi & made some for my son's bday couple of yrs ago. Chk out what I'd added @ Sushi “Birthday Cake”!
ReplyDeleteGoing to chk out your pix now! I'm sure u look lovely, Peggy!
Your sushi looks amazing! I love sushi, but don't eat it that often because it does get expensive. I really need to try making some.
ReplyDeleteYour engagement photos are adorable! What a great idea to do a picnic in the park. Thanks for sharing.
This looks great!I have always wanted to make sushi. You did a beautiful job. Thanks for the recipe, I was pleased to see it called for cooked fish. I'm a bit squeamish about the raw stuff.
ReplyDeleteWho needs to go to a restaurant when you can make sushi like this. Wow. Not only that, it's far more romantic! Going to swoon over your photos now...
ReplyDeleteNot to shabby for homemade. I took a class and mine still didnt look at tightly rolled. I wrapped plastic wrap around my mat to insure I didnt get any sushi rice stuck in them.
ReplyDeleteLove your engagement pics :) I agree that sushi can be very expensive when going out for it regularly, plus when you make it at home you can really add whatever flavors you like, not just what's on the menu!
ReplyDeleteVery nice sushi and beautiful pics; I like the B&W one of you near the tree.
ReplyDeleteMmm, I love homemade sushi. And yours looks so light and fluffy!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures, Peggy! You are really pretty :D I love the picture of the two of you on the park bench & you're looking at him... that's gorgeous! and the B&W ones are really cute too... You made your own sushi rolls! Really cool... Great job! :D
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are lovely, you and your fianace look so good and happy together. Years ago I took a sushi making class just to cut down on the cost of our sushi eating habit.
