Health Habits to Leave and Take from Korea

When preparing for my move to Korea, a lot of the reading and video-watching I did talked about food, health, and weight loss. For every video that raves about how delicious or healthy Korean food is, there’s an article that warns about some of the unhealthy aspects of the cuisine. And for every English teacher… Read More Health Habits to Leave and Take from Korea

Peanut Chicken

It’s been just over a year since I returned to the world of omnivores. Eating vegetarian is extremely difficult in Korea, as I’ve mentioned in previous posts. If you want to have a social life and sit in the good books of your co-workers here, you’ve got to eat products that contain meat. For me,… Read More Peanut Chicken

Garlic Scape Pesto

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that pesto got me through university. I spent three years in residence, first as a frosh, then residents assistant, and finally a hall director. You can imagine that by my third year I was getting sick of eating in meal hall. The one solace was that the salad… Read More Garlic Scape Pesto

Ginger Apple Sauce

I never really liked applesauce as a kid, until I tried it home made. The Mott’s crap in those cups was always too sweet and watery, and the flavoured ones were even worse than plain. Then I tried home made apple sauce, and I was hooked. Over the years of enjoying this simple, healthy treat,… Read More Ginger Apple Sauce

Tuna Kimchi Jjigae

Some moons ago, I posted a recipe for my version of Kimchi Jjigae, a delicious, hearty Korean Stew. As I mentioned in that post, it’s one of my go-to meals throughout the colder months. Hot and spicy in general is my go-to. Almost a year later, I’m back with a new kimchi jjigae recipe, this… Read More Tuna Kimchi Jjigae

Gingerbread Smoothie

Gingerbread is easily one of my holiday flavours. There’s nothing like a fresh gingerbread cookie straight out of the oven, all soft and spiced. I don’t even like the decorated kind with icing and candy. I prefer to enjoy the warm and wonderful flavour of molasses without all the other sugariness packed on. Speaking of… Read More Gingerbread Smoothie

Potter Pumpkin Juice

During our laser-eye surgery recovery, we watched (well just listened, really) all of the Harry Potter movies from the beginning. It’s been ages since I’ve had a Harry Potter marathon. The last time was when I got my wisdom teeth out in high school. After finishing the films, and acquiring a kindle, I was inspired… Read More Potter Pumpkin Juice

Light Caesar Dressing

Few salads are as widely loved as the basic Caesar salad. It’s no surprise that it’s also one of the most unhealthy salads around, particularly when forgoing homemade dressing for the creamy processed version. But with romaine lettuce high in nutrients, and a super simple recipe for dressing, this classic can be quite healthy, and… Read More Light Caesar Dressing

Mum’s Glazed Carrots

Canadian Thankgsiving has come and gone, and I failed to celebrate as it coinceded with Chuseok, commonly known in English as Korean Thanksgiving. Not that I was really celebrating Chuseok either. Rather, I was hiding away in my apartment recovering from LASEK surgery, which was made possible by the days off provided by the 11-day… Read More Mum’s Glazed Carrots

Yogurt, More Ways

A little while back, I posted four variations on a simple homemade yogurt recipe, including maple vanilla cinnamon, dark chocolate and sea salt, cappuccino, and lemon herb. The yogurt addict in me was not satisfied with just four variations, so I’ve explored some new flavours to bring to you here. Gingerbread 1 cup plain yogurt… Read More Yogurt, More Ways
