Almost every week or two, you’ll find some Korean dishes on our dinner table. My husband Thomas is American, but he was born in Korea and lived there until he was 2. He told me that his nanny started sneaking kimchi into his food after he was born, until his mom found out and furiously banned it from his diet. But the damage was done! Since then, he has always had a keen taste for kimchi and all kinds of Korean food....
Updated June 22, 2016 First, I want to show a few photos of our kitchen before and during the remodel process. If you want to recap the entire process, check out Kitchen Remodel: Part One, Two, and Three. As you can see, we had our work cut out for us. Luckily, Josh is a miracle worker and with the help of many family members and friends, we transformed our tiny, not so functional kitchen, into our dream kitchen....
The first time I prepared this, it became such a great hit that my kids wanted this in their lunch boxes too. That, for me, is a big compliment, and I had to oblige.

With simple ingredients and an even simpler procedure, this recipe will be a welcome option for a weekday meal....
We drove to Traverse City after a wildly eventful turn of events where I got in a car accident, broke my arm, and consequently had to cancel our honeymoon to Costa Rica. What a doozy!

Crystal clear turquoise lakes, beautiful green trees, and so much to do!...

They’re exactly right. Ya know, matzah ball soup is the Jewish penicillin. Salmon burgers are the Mediterranean…. Advil? I’m extremely stubborn. Whenever I have a headache, I refuse to take Advil until it gets bad enough that it’s beyond the point of Advil being any help at all. If my mom told me to eat one of these burgs next time a migraine was coming on, I’d gladly eat the whole batch....
I decided to make this cake because I wanted to do something a bit different with the components of Milk Tart (similar to what I did with my Tiramisu Cake). I decided to make a vanilla cinnamon sponge and made the milk tart filling exactly as I would for a traditional milk tart.
