Hey guys!!!
Let’s talk about my dinner tonight!
I’ve never been a big fan of sushi, but tonight I felt like “rolling” together some of my favorite flavors; so here is my first ever homemade “sushi”.
I tried to avoid all of the ingredients that I personally don’t like.
If you do try this recipe, let me know if you liked it, and I’m open to any recommendations from you.
