I cook a lot of stews, like this skinny sweet potato and bean chili, over the colder months. I love dishes that are rich, hearty, and piping hot when it’s cold outside. But that’s not the only reason why I cook them often. It’s also because I can reheat and enjoy them again and again. Luckily, stews reheat wonderfully and taste even better the second (or third) time around when the flavors have had a chance to percolate and meld together over a longer period of time. To be honest, that’s the main reason I make this skinny sweet potato and bean chili. It’s delicious from the get-go, but it’s even better reheated.
Mixed Vegetables and Beef Bibimbap
I wasn’t kidding when I said I love rice bowls. There are so many possible variations that my taste buds never tire of them. As much as I love bibimbap, it’s somewhat ironic that I rarely make the traditional bibimbap. It’s probably because it’s more labor intensive than the variations that I often make.
Bulgogi with Wilted Spinach
I decided to cook some red meat this week. I’m one of those people who need some animal protein – red meat in particular – to feel “all-there.” My body just doesn’t seem to absorb iron from plants efficiently. Whatever the reason, I get horribly iron-deficient. Dark under-eye circles. Fatigue. Headaches. Muscle aches. A whole gamut of symptoms I won’t bore you with. I just eat a little of red meat once a week for a few weeks. And voilà. Symptoms gone.
Korean Beef and Kimchi Tacos
I just got back from Cali last weekend. And like a true dodo head, I left my camera there. I hadn’t been feeling all that well for the duration of the trip. I guess it took a toll on my brain in addition to my body. Luckily, I have a loving mom, who immediately shipped the camera to me along with a care package. I will have to post the pics of the package at a later time. But here is a post of the first batch of the photos I uploaded from my just-received camera: Korean-Style Beef Tacos.

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been under the weather for the past week since coming to California to visit my mom. Luckily, my mom was more than happy to take care of me. 🙂
I will be here for another few days, and I plan to be spoiled rotten by my mom for that duration. So I will be back next week. In the mean time, here are some of the most popular posts on cHow Divine in no particular order. Hope you are all well!
