Eating seasonally is no joke.
Fruit and veggies are so much more flavorful + nutritious during this time. Yum!
This seasonal sushi roll is so utterly fantastic that I had to share!
It's my new favorite. Hands down.
Asparagus [April-June 24]
Pineapple [March-July]
Cucumber [May-August] whoops jumped the gun a little!
Asparagus is so hot right now =)
Sweet + Refreshing!
Making this roll couldn't be easier!
Blanch trimmed asparagus in a thin layer of boiling water for a minute or two.
Then use one of my sushi tutorials to roll it up! <3

Serve with soy sauce for dipping and enjoy!
Make a few to serve as a meal or serve as a delicious side dish.
My photos came out so horrible. I was in a rush to eat! Sooo... Art Time!
Eating fruits and veggies in season is also a fabulous money saver!
Do you eat seasonally?

yum!!! I made some similar with raddish and spinach not too long ago...mmmmm
This combo looks so delicious and light!
This is gorgeous! I love eating asparagus and the like, when and only when it is in season...the wait is well worth it!
I just recently started making sushi at home (avocado rolls are my favorite)
Love your artsy sushi picture :-)
I should "artsify" my food photos like that, since they are all so lame!
This really tasted good? I'd never have thought to try that combo!!!
I agree vegan sushi is the way to go and definitely seasonal I look so forward to what my weekly CSA bag will contain :)
I try to eat seasonally mainly because the fruits and vegetables aren't always good out of season. I always eat watermelon in season!
yumm this is a mixture of my two fav sushi rolls...asparagus and cucumber!!!
and i still think your picture is beautimus!
I tried eating seasonally, but found that a meal consisting of only seasonings wasn't very filling, and all the dried chopped herbs stuck to the back of my throat.
bwahahah.
Reeeeally bad joke, I know.
Yes, I <3 seasonal veggies and fruits!
Yum -- that sushi looks AMAZING!
I loveee veggie SUSHI! So tasty and refreshing. I bought different color rolls last time I was at an Asian market. So excited to use them. Partyyyy!

i'm so bad about eating seasonally, but i do love asparagus, so perhaps i can start?!
still need to learn to make the sushi...headed to your tutorial now (for like the 20th time).
I try to eat seasonally, but I have to admit as much as I love root veggies, I am ready for the fruits & veggies of summer! I've been wanting to pick up a cookbook that is broken down into seasons for inspiration! Yum to your sushi. I love, love, love asparagus...& pairing it with pineapple?! Sounds amazing!
So true story, I was just wondering the other day when asparagus is in season! I've had the weirdest craving for it for the past couple of weeks! And I FINALLY bought a sushi mat so I can be like you and Christin! ;) I will get on this sushi making bandwagon...oh yes, I will!
Haha! Love the artistic take on your pic! I'm totally stealing that on the next pic I take that turns out less than stellar!
YUMM this looks amazing!!!
Yum! I have all of those in my fridge right now!
I eat seasonally because I get bountiful baskets. Have you heard of those?! I love them!
Omg, pineapple in sushi? That's genious! I wish I had a sushi making kit at home!!
This looks delicious! When you made sushi art, two of the rolls appeared to have asparagus hearts in them--nice work :)
We try to eat seasonally as best we can and now that our Farmer's Market is opening tomorrow, it will be even easier to know what's in season. Since it's a strictly local market, if they don't have it, it's not in season yet!
Love the art!
I don't really eat seasonally, but that's because I don't know a lot about it. I'm really interested in trying some day though.
Sushi looks great!
yummy! xx
I think half the reason this is my favorite time of year is all the fresh fruits and veggies that are available!
Also, mmmm homemade sushi. Few things are better!
hahah "asparagus is so hot right now". I always try to eat seasonlly but occasionally it doesn't happen. Like those dang peppers I ate yesterday that I just about died when they were rung up.
those look AWESOME, Jenn! I totally eat seasonally... without even meaning to. My body just tends to crave what's in season at the moment.
Mmmm that combo sounds so good! And the bonus- very pretty and springy too! maybe I'll make mine a rice salad, I like to let my sushi tools just sit collecting dust hahaha.
I eat seasonally somewhat, just based on those items being on sale and better tasting!
Yum! These look great! I could go for some asparagus with mango right now.. mmmm
I love this idea! My friends always want to go to sushi and I feel left out since I don't eat fish (their 'place" only has one dull veggie role). Pineapple in it = brilliant! I bet mango would be awesome too.
haha you are so cute! I wouldn't know how to even make sushi! I love that it has pineapple in it!
Love u friend!!
You are motivating me to start eating better...everything you post looks so delish! I'm already a big fan of all of this stuff, especially the asparagus, YUM! Have a fantastic weekend, my dear, keep the inspiration comin'! Heaven knows I need it!
I don't eat seasonally but I should...I eat whatever is available...cant wait for watermelon season in summer<3
GOOD LOOKIN SUSHI BTW ;)
Ohh... I have never added pineapple to sushi, but I am going to now! Thanks for the inspiration!
yummy!! this looks delish!! :-)
This sounds like such a great combo! I love sushi and eating seasonally!
oh brilliant, as usual Jen!
I didn't know that seasonal eating exists ...
I'm so lame.

I definitely eat seasonally! Especially with summer fruit such as strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, etc, they are so much cheaper and taste much fresher and juicier during the summer :)
I try my hardest to eat seasonally. I'm always so excited when asparagus is in season. I can't get enough of the little green spears.
I love sushi! Your tutorial makes it look so easy, so I should definitely try to make it...but I usually just buy it! Delicious!
I try to eat seasonally...I'm loving asparagus and strawberries right now :)
I love pineapple!! When I was preggo with my first, I literally ate a whole fresh pineapple every two days. I just couldn't get enough!
I don't like typical sushi, but I may like your take you just came up with!
Ooooh... I love the idea of pineapple in the sushi roll! I bet it would also be crazy awesome to do pineapple, avocado (starting to come into season in CA) and cucumber.
Those look great. The best vegetarian sushi I've had was with squash, apples, and sweet potato. So good.
I'll have to check out your tutorials. Making them at home intimidates me.
How funny! I love the art pic! I thought the first pic was great!
The things you come up with. I would have never thought but it sounds amazing maybe with a little avocado? eh? anywho awesome simply awesome
Mmm sushi I love! After my bf bought a sushi kit we've been obsessed with making it ourselves at home :D
This almost makes me want to eat asparagus (the one veggie I dislike). Love the veggie sushi idea though!
YUMO...I must try these! Actually, can you just make me some and send them my way. :o) Have a great weekend Jennifer!
I've been eating a lot of asparagus lately. It does not smell pretty around our house ;)
Eating seasonally is hard! I'm not very good at it.. But once my farmers market open up (next weekend Eeeep!) I'll be buying all local and seasonal produce :)
Pinapple sushi? oh my that sounds delightful!
aghhh I want some sushi now :)
I've never had sushi! Mostly because I don't really do fish...especially raw fish, but this I can get behind! Pineapple-yum! Happy weekend
I love that you make sushi at home!! And I try to eat seasonally as much as possible. It's the best and cheapest way to do it!
I loove sushi and now I'm craving it!
Love sushi....except for the pineapple part. No fruit in my food. :)
Loved your comment on my blog about Boston accents. I don't think they're dirty! I was entraced listening to them. It makes me smile. :)
PS....I'm on a plane again commenting on your blog. :)
I'm impressed with your sushi skills! I've always been intimidated to make it, but I do looooove eating it!
YUM!! These look delicious! I love avocado!
Whoa, these look AMAZING! I always complain about not being able to find veggie sushi in restaurants, but this looks way better than anything in a restaurant!
I am a little scared to make my own sushi, but you make it look so attractive,especially the fun veg combo you use, to make them. Love love it!
I love the addition of pineapple in this sushi recipe! Now that I think about it, I'm surprised more restaurants haven't begun adding creative fillings in their sushi...It's always fish, avocado and cucumber with an occasional piece of mango thrown in!
I try to eat seasonally, but sometimes I'm craving tomatoes in December or butternut squash in June!
I like the Warholicious pic--funky.
Thanks for posting a tutorial, I will make my own sushi one dauy. But when I have a place around the corner that's $9.99 for a lunch buffet, why make my own?? :)
yummy...i want some.
ah these are adorable and they do look so refreshing! i hate when i want to get a good picture of my food but i want to eat it so badly right away!! ha im just look ahhh oh well, that'll do! but these do look so cuteee and light!
never had that combo but i adore sushi! i seriously could eat it every day! yum yum yum
I try really hard to eat seasonally...I don't always succeed but I try!
I love that you make sushi. You constantly impress me Jenn!
Yes, I do eat quite seasonally. I can't wait until the farmer's markets come back for the summer. I love getting the fresh produce from there. It saves me money as well!
OOOOOH I think I my be able to get jon to eat this!!!! Happy Saturday!!!
YUMMM I LOVE SUSHI! But... I'm still getting into the whole raw fish other than tuna bit, so these seem perfect!!!
YUM pineapple sounds so good in this!
xoxo
Love the pictures! and yes i totally eat seasonally, the fresh berry season!
Freakingggg love sushi!
I don't eat seasonally, but I'm trying too more so! I just want to have bloobs all year round haha!
You make yur sushi so well girl! I remember when I first saw one of your sushi creations, I was jealous of your skills!
Happy weekend love!!!! xoxo <3
You have so many talents! I really want your husband to go to test pilot school so you have to move here and make me sushi :)
This reminds me! I have uneaten asparagus in my fridge!
seven-percentsolution.blogspot.com
Mmm... this looks delicious!! I love asparagus! I do eat many things year round, but I do try to enjoy them when they are in season. They not only save money, but I feel like they are fresher!
Did you edit that picture in picnik? I must know what effect that is!! HAHA
XOXO
I don't eat seasonally, but if you all keep telling me how to then I will. ; )
I made sushi with my friend and her parents one night... so so fun! (although it was a little difficult to get it together at first)
I don't know how I feel about pineapple in my sushi... I'm weird : /
CarissaExplainsItAll
cucumber sushi issss so refreshing, agreed. I haven't tried the others! i need to get out more! enjoy your sunday :)
These look so incredible! Though, honestly, I'll eat anything with pineapple :)
Asparagus in your sushi rolls...what a fantastic idea! Love it!
i don't like sushi but that actually sounds good! i LOVE asparagus! =))
I cannot believe you make your own sushi. I definitely need a tutorial. I have always written sushi off as something (like baked goods) better purchased than made- was I wrong?
Mmm, your sushi looks wonderful! I really love the veggies in there paired with the pineapple for a little sweetness...delicious!
ah these look so terribly delicious! I have GOT to learn to make sushi. I try to eat in season, but it is hard work! I should probably get a cookbook that talks about what fruits and veggies are in season...any recommendations?
Um, I will be right over. Make me these.....pleaseeeeeee?
I admire people that make their own sushi, it terrifies me to think of doing that!
Looks delish :)
Yum, this looks wonderful! Pineapple and asparagus go surprisingly well together.
Looks sooo delicious healthy and fresh! Great recipe Jenn!
OMG, girl. These look delish!
Sushi without fish?! I'm in!!!! I'm allergic to fish and seafood, so I don't do sushi, but this looks dang tasty!
Jen
Yum!! I love making sushi and am always looking for new recipes :) I was all about sweet potato a while back. But pineapple sounds amazing!
Yum! I haven't had sushi in forever and now I'm having a craving. I always eat better in the summer, too!
