This ramen recipe is made from scratch and has delicious chicken and veggies on top! Raise your hand if you love ramen noodles! 🙋♀️ Something I DON’T love about prepackaged ramen is all the junk ingredients. Like MSG, TBHQ, anti-caking agents, etc. I think that’s fine for an occasional treat, but if it makes up…

Bibimbap!
Bibimbap (AKA Mixed Rice) is one of my favorite Korean recipes! One of my all-time favorite Korean dishes is Bibimbap. It took me the longest time to figure out how to pronounce it, so here’s my shot at it: bee-bim-bop. The Korean letter that’s equivalent to our “B” can actually be pronounced kind of like…
Ground Beef Gimbap (김밥) – AKA Korean Sushi
Gimbap (AKA 김밥) is basically the Korean take on sushi, and it’s delicious! Sometimes it can take quite a while to convince me to make a new recipe.

Korean Shrimp and Rice Porridge (Saewoojuk)
There’s nothing like getting sick to make you appreciate the things you are able to do every day. Last week Reuben fell ill with a fever, chills, headache: the whole shebang. I followed a few days later. We were so miserable and unable to do ANYTHING for days. It was all I could do to…
Thai Chicken Salad
On humid August evenings a hot, heavy supper doesn’t sound one bit appealing. Any amount of cooking heats up our little house (we don’t have air conditioning). And when Reuben has been working in the blazing sun all day, all he wants is a smoothie. But smoothies don’t stick with you long. A cold salad…
