Sushi makin' and 3 miles!

I have been wanting to make sushi for a long time. I was given one of those "kits" for Christmas like 2 yrs ago and it has sat in my cabinet with the bow still on it. OOPS! Well something told me not to throw it out when we moved a year ago into our new house.
Last night was the day that this...
turned into this...
I thought I did pretty good job.
My husband told me that I had outdone myself, so I guess it was good. LOL!
I have never made sushi in my life and actually never paid attention to them making at a restaurant. Its amazing the things you can learn off the internet. After reading a few blogs tips on what to buy, I headed off to the Saigon Supermarket by my house. I love that place.
And I made 6 rolls for under $10. Crazy Cheap!

My ingredients...
Tuna w/cayenne pepper, salmon fillets, crab meat, carrots, cucumber, avocado, chia seeds, and cream cheese. YUM

Here is some rolling pictures...
Cha, Cha, Cha, Chia!

And the finished products
California roll, spicy tuna roll, salmon spicy roll, and a seafood medley roll
It was actually really easy. I was actually surprised at how simple it actually was. Def will be making these a lot. I mean 6 rolls for $10, When we go out for sushi 4 rolls cost us around $50. So it is much cheaper to do it at home.

Thumbs up!

Oh and about those 3 miles, they happened on the treadmill, before the sushi making festival!
Again the boring treadmill, but I am excited about the hubby being off for the next 4 days so I can get some road running in. BAMMMMMM!
And give you guys a better training update, Outside rocks!

QOTD: Have you ever made sushi and if so, I would love your recipes.
Leave me a comment, I would love to hear from you:)
