Anyone else a fan of sleep like I am? Despite really enjoying sleep and rest, for years it has been difficult to get to sleep at an early and reasonable time. Growing up, in school, I would stay up studying for exams into the early morning thinking that was my most productive time. The house was quiet and there were minimal distractions. Then, as an adult working in the corporate world, there were always work deadlines to meet, or sometimes I would just feel like I didn’t have enough hours in the day, so night time would be the only time I could fit in “catching …

Korean Rice Cake Soup Recipe

Korean tteukguk rice cake dumpling new years soup

Happy New Year, everybody! I wanted to share an easy Korean recipe with you today. It’s called “Tteokguk” which translates directly to rice cake soup. Don’t let the name fool you, there are so many other goodies in there that it’s not only rice cakes but it’s also Korean dumplings called mandu, meat (traditionally beef but I opted for chicken this time), and egg. The Korean dumpling recipe is in a previous post and can actually be eaten on its own. The recipe is a veggie based filling but traditionally these are filled with pork or beef.

Cancer. I had it. And then I didn’t. It was a very surreal emotional roller coaster I was on earlier this year. I’m happy to be closing out 2018 with that part of my journey in the past. While the diagnosis, surgery, and recovery all occurred within a matter of a few months (thankfully!) I walked away with a whole long list of what I learned about myself. Cancer is good for some things – it’s taught me a lot about what I value most in my life. Here are my top 10 lessons I’ve learned.

I hope that some of my learnings I share …

Homemade Traditional Korean Kimbap Recipe

Authentic Korean Traditional Kimbap vegetable based rice rolls #koreanfood #koreancooking #authentickorean #TheDimpleLife

I’m back with another Korean recipe from my umma (‘mom’ in Korean!). Kimbap literally means “seaweed” “cooked rice” – which doesn’t sound all that fancy but what makes it delicious is all of the veggies and goodies inside this seaweed wrapped rice roll. You can absolutely use beef as one of the ingredients inside but if you’re more plant based you can omit and it tastes just as delicious!
