I think that I did a topic like this last year, but I've already forgotten what we prepared! This year Sunny and her entire family, except for Grandma and I, are on insane diets, so we settled on Sushi, particularly since I had gotten Sunny a new sushi dish set and some nice (Japanese) chopsticks. She made a variety of sushi (though no rolls) with tuna and shrimp and a desert of watashitachi, those little dumplings made from flavored mochiko. But frying is now a Cardinal Sin and deep frying even more so, so she flavored the balls with maple syrup, microwaved them so that they were still soft inside, and chilled them in the freezer. They were very good, but we forgot the green tea. I was the sushi sous chef (try saying that three times, quickly!) so I got to cool the sticky rice with a hair dryer on "cool" and likewise, the mochiko, which has to be the stickiest stuff known to man. Everyone had a good time, and at no additional cost, here's Sunny in her "serious apron", looking as cute as ever:
