And summer is slowly (sadly) coming to an end. It actually is the end now and also the last of summer fruit. Two weekends ago, we went to the farmer’s market for some last summer fruit and vegetables. Blueberries were nearly dying but still yet alive and we found a stand selling super plump looking ...
Baek Jong Won’s Super Easy Cream Shrimp
Some days I want a hearty meal without having to do so much chopping, slicing, prepping. At times, I want to go the super traditional route with all the bells and whistles to get the most depth in a dish but other days, I want it super delicious without too much effort. And of course, I can lean on ...
Moist Korean Sweet Potato Bread
Did I already mention that Korean sweet potatoes (goguma in Korean) are one of my favorite foods to eat in the winter? When I visited home for Thanksgiving my mom stocked up on gogumas for me to steam in the microwave and roast in the oven. Just to emphasize how much I love these purple ...
Korean Sweet Pumpkin Pound Cake (Kabocha Pound Cake)
It's fall! and everyone is cooking up orange pumpkins in their kitchen but I am in my corner cooking kabocha squashes and Korean sweet potatoes. I love these two ingredients all year round but they are the star in the cold months. I've been experimenting here and there with these two and today's ...
Moist Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
A few weeks back, I baked an unmemorable pumpkin muffin or in my opinion a not so good pumpkin muffin but my husband noted, these aren't bad, they have the spice scent of carrot cake and I like carrot cake. Was he hinting that he wanted carrot cake? No, probably not, he's not good with secret ...
LA Chapssaltteok (LA Sticky Rice Cake)
Last week was Chuseok in Korea - or "Korean Thanksgiving" if you will. In Korea, this is one of the largest holidays and probably also one of the most horrific traffic days of the year. During this time families get together and eat lots of really great fancy foods, pay respect to elders ...
Crunchy and Soft Cream Puffs
Can we please talk about these cream puffs? They are really good. My official taste tester is really happy about them too! Crunchy on the outside and sweet cream on the inside. They are really good. All the cream puffs I've tried have been delicious puffs filled with a cream but ...
Salmon 2 Ways – Donburi Style Success!
After marriage, we've been eating a lot of pork. Lots - that was basically the only type of protein we ate at home for 3 months. After a visit back to our hometown in DC and eating delicious fish grilled by my dad, we decided to mix it up a bit. We grabbed a huge bag of salmon (and chicken) from ...
Healthy Greek Yogurt Cheesecake
It all started with a sample of Cheesecake at Wegmans. The innocent but sugar-evil employee was passing out a piece of raspberry cheesecake. Delicious. Husband and I were in a hurry though to get to the in-laws so we scurried away as I kept on looking back. Fast forward 2 weeks and we picked ...
