Simply Healthy Korean Recipes
Kimchi fried rice is one of the most popular Korean dishes. It also is one of the easiest dishes to whip up, which is the reason why it is so popular as a midnight snack.
I had my share of kimchi fried rice as a college student in Northern California. After a night out or during an all-nighter studying for the finals, it was the perfect meal or snack. It also had the benefit of being cheap – important for a starving student!
These sweet and spicy, Korean chicken “wings” are my absolute favorite “wings.” They are incredibly crispy. They taste so decadent and fried; but they are baked and only a tiny bit of oil is used. And the flavors are out of this world!

I hate to be labeled a conventional or a typical woman, but I love Tom Brady. Not only is he a hottie, he is a great quarterback.

And I fear this bill would have an unintended chilling effect on free speech and innovation – instead of its intended, lofty goal of stopping internet piracy.
I’m a serial monogamist when it comes to kitchen appliances. First came the Breville juicer; second came the Vitamix; third came the Kitchenaid stand mixer; then came the Cuisinart food processor. When I’m into them, I’m really into them and I use them on a daily basis. But when I’m done, I’m done. Apart from the occasional uses, they sit and collect dust in my tiny kitchen. And Believe me.
