Asian Salad with Carrot-Ginger Dressing

Carrot Ginger Dressing | cHowDivine.com

I hope mother nature has been kinder to you than New Yorkers this summer. The heat has been unrelenting. The heat and the humidity has been unbearable. And if you are a fellow New Yorker trudging through the subway system, I empathize. It can feel like you are simmering in stew. And if you are visiting NYC on vacation, don’t get too happy if you spot a relatively empty train car when the others are packed to the gills. The air conditioner is likely broken in that car. 😉

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!

Jumuk + Bap = Fist + Rice

A friend of mine once asked me what jumuk bap meant. I told her that it directly translated to “fist rice.” She thought it weird, but I never once questioned the reason behind it. It was always very clear to me. It’s usually about the size a small fist. And you have to theoretically make a fist-motion in order to form these suckers. Apparently, that astute observation and explanation didn’t convince her. Whatever. No jumuk bap for you little lady!

Roasted Sweet and Spicy Chickpeas

I have chickpeas on the brain. I kind of blame it on Amazon. Among other things, I’m addicted to Amazon. I bought 12 cans of garbanzo beans on subscribe and save. That’s a crap load of beans for a tiny family of two. Now why did I do this? Because among other things, I can’t pass up a seemingly good deal. I’m still feeling the high of getting a stainless steel handheld blender at Costco for only $19.99. I probably didn’t even need it. Yes, I have issues.

Chickpea Fries with Parsley Garlic Flakes

Chickpea Fries | cHowDivine.com

I’ve been eating clean for the past week or so. No processed foods, no sugar, no red meat, no gluten, and no fried foods. I know. It sounds like a party. 😛 It’s actually not too bad. I don’t crave sweets (except for dark chocolate). I don’t crave anything really, except for french fries. French Fries are my biggest weakness. I would seriously knock an old lady down to get to the last fry in the room.
