I hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day and are in the midst of enjoying this long President’s Day weekend.

It’s a leisurely Sunday in our home; and it’s another sweet potato recipe this week. Well, this isn’t just another sweet potato recipe in our home. It’s one of our mainstays, lighter and healthier sweet potato casserole. I don’t know why I haven’t done more posts on sweet potatoes. They are as much a staple in our home as brown rice. And if you are a regular visitor to this site, you know how much we love rice around here.

I love nuts: almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews, etc. I get this from my mom. My mom used to have them all over the house when I was growing up. Even now, she has them in the cabinets, in the fridge, on the coffee table, and even in her car.

I used to make fun of her when I was little, but now, I get it. They are good with just about anything and good for just about any occasion. And I especially love candied nuts. I used to buy tons from Trader Joe’s. My husband used to joke that I keep them in business. I rarely buy them now, because they are so easy to make at home.

I made some simple but super delectable Kimchi Avocado Rolls last week, all thanks to a subpar experience at a restaurant. And it’s become my (new) favorite way to enjoy kimchi. Let me explain. A few weeks ago, I tried a kimchi roll (Gimchi Gimbap) at a restaurant at the urging of the server. He called it “fantastic” and “probably the most popular item” on the menu. You don’t have to twist my arm to try a kimchi dish, but I was a little trepidatious about trying it at a non-Korean restaurant. But we tried it anyway. I’ll say that the dish had a lot of potential. It, however, left me confused.
