Ikea Swedish Meatballs with Cream Sauce
The largest IKEA in the United States just opened in Los Angeles. It’s absolutely massive. They almost need to put in a trolley! This is about their iconic Swedish meatballs and the beauty of it is that you can buy them frozen after you buy your GRÖNKULLA, FLÄRDFULL, SMÖRBOLL and (I always buy) their paper napkins. I know a lot of people that do not live near an IKEA, so here is a recipe to make them yourself.

Shishito Peppers with Den Miso and Bubu Arare
I had these Shishito Peppers with Den Miso and Bubu Arare at Tokyo Fried Chicken Co. in Monterey Park, CA. I love shishito peppers and now have a new way to make them. About one out of every ten peppers is spicy. The person that gets the spicy one will have good luck! Bubu Arare can be found in Japanese markets or online.

This Spring Vegetable Soup is the perfect thing to “spring clean” your diet. Fruits and Vegetables that are in-season reap the most nutritional value. This Since lima beans are difficult to find fresh, I used frozen beans. You can substitute fresh fava beans in this soup.
