Sushi Party!!

We had such a great time this past weekend making our own Sushi! We had a list of our favorite ingredients, and went to town! I am not going to say it wasn't a fair amount of work, especially for something I've never done before, but it was darn healthy and delicious.



The best part, we could customize our rolls (and eventually bowls)...but that part of the story comes later.

Our friends Liz and Aaron came over and we started with a ton of ingredients!

And I was on Chopping, Dicing, and preparing duty:
Then figuring out how to roll (since we've never done this before) - have I mentioned this before?

Getting your hands ready with what the internet said to use, Mayo (frankly we thought water worked better in the end) - Have I mentioned we've never done this before:
And then the rolling begins (Aaron was a pro!):


Ta Da! The final product, didn't Aaron do a great job on the rolling!!

In the end we had a fabulous time, and it was a super healthy meal, you could use whatever you wanted for filling, Grilled Shrimp, Chicken, Tofu, really whatever you wanted. And it was cheaper than buying it out...but it was time consuming.

Speaking of time consuming, we decided after rolling 4 sushi rolls, we made bowls... and they were delcicious too!



After we were done, I thought it would be fun to do this for an Engagment Party or some kind of dinner party, but maybe with a Professional Sushi Roller..
