DIY. I’m a huge DIY lover as you can probably tell from my video recipes I’ve shared with you over the years.

It seriously pains me when I see elaborately packaged goods being torn into and tossed carelessly into a trash..read more
I’m back on Youtube! Internet returned last Friday and I’m excited to finally be able to produce videos for you guys again. Our little spot was without internet for 6 months, without electricity for 4.5 months and without phone service for 4 and it’s surreal to be able to play music while I video edit,..read more

1). Start with the best ingredients. These lay the foundation for a delicious meal. Some Korean cooking essentials would include quality dried anchovies and kelp for stock, quality {and I can’t emphasize that enough} fish sauce, unrefined toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, pastes and flakes. I would recommend sourcing ingredients that are as natural and..read more
Kimchi It would be very remiss of me to not begin on this top with the King of Korean fermented foods, kimchi. What is in kimchi? It primarily consists of cabbage and salt but you can also include Korean radish/mu, scallions, sesame seeds, onions, garlic, ginger, Korean pepper flakes, fish sauce, baby brine shrimp, raw..read more
Tomorrow marks 5 years together and 2 years married. After 2 big moves to 2 islands, 5 houses, 2 category 5 hurricanes and a month and a half spent away from each other because of them, we are stronger for it. Happy anniversary, babe. Thank you for doing this life with me. I love you!..read more
