Simply Healthy Korean Recipes
Last week, I embarked on a baking project to come up with a yummy grain-less muffin. I’m not crazy about baking, but the cost of specialized baked goods forced my hand to pick up the whisk. Figuratively speaking anyway. I used a processor for this, which means it was totally easy to make. 😀

I love hot quinoa for breakfast. My husband likes his oatmeal. What’s a girl to do? I guess I could just cook what I want and make him eat it. Or he can cook his own breakfast himself, which he is more than happy to do. But it would just be too much of a hassle in our tiny kitchen. And I hate hassles. So I decided to come up with a happy compromise: the Quinoatmeal. Yes. The Quinoatmeal. (Pronounced keen · oat · meal) 😛
A girl can’t live on meat and potatoes alone. Well, I can’t anyway. I’ve been running ragged for the past month or so. I’m naturally a healthy eater, because I generally gravitate towards healthier foods. But when I’m running ragged and stressed out, my palate desires nothing short of comfort food.

But when I’m doing a detox or a cleanse, I need something a little different. And these date-sweetened, gluten-free blueberry muffins are my go-to “detox” snack. These are truly guilt-free, so moist, and so tasty.

Gyeran or Gaeran Jjim (Korean Steamed Eggs) is often served as part of the banchan spread when you go to a Korean restaurant. But you don’t have to visit a Korean restaurant to enjoy this dish. It is one of the easiest dishes you can make at home. Additionally, you don’t have to limit its potential. It can be much more than a side dish. For instance, you can serve it for breakfast or brunch with different stir-ins. And you can serve it in individual ramekins for a fun and lovely presentation.
