Persian Meatballs...

Sorry for the lack of updates again. We've been eating out almost every day this week. I haven't stepped into the kitchen except to make Munchkin some grilled cheese sandwiches. We're going grocery shopping tomorrow, so hopefully I will think of a new post for next week. Until then.... I will cheat by recycling another post on my other blog~ Get 1 LB. of ground beef and add

Spicy Penne

Spicy penne pasta will be up shortly!

Salsa

To accompany the steaks, I also made some salsa. This is just a basic salsa recipe that I'm sure everyone already has a variation to, but I thought I would share this anyhow. =) I used about 1 lb. of tomotoes, 2 jalapenos, 1 large white onion, 10 garlic cloves, 1 bunch of cilantro, 1 lemon (and lime if you prefer) and 1 Anaheim chile (so it said at Ralphs). Begin by chopping up your

Chicken Noodle Soup

Total cooking time: 90 minutesEvery so often, I will buy a Rorisserie chicken from the market and we will eat about 1/3 of it for dinner and then I use the rest for some chicken noodle soup.I like buying the chicken flavored with some herbs.Tear apart the meat and save the bones on the side.Then I get out one of my trusty tea bags and fill it with about 10 whole garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of

Shrimp & Asparagus Risotto

Obviously this is NOT a Korean recipe, but the MR is out with his boys tonight which means I get to eat WHATEVER I want to eat! No Korean food! =PTotal Cooking Time: 1 hourThis is a recipe I first tried sometime last year when I saw it in Redbook (the magazine) and I have since tweaked it to my liking. =PObviously you will need some shrimp and asparagus. In this case about 3/4 lb. of shrimp

Strawberry Jam

The MR's friends came over last week and like true Koreans they didn't come empty handed. =P They brought us a whole box of strawberries (since they knew Munchkin LOVES strawberries). The strawberries were delicious, and although Munchkin does love strawberries, even he couldn't finish the whole box. =) So instead of letting the strawberries go bad and throwing them out...I decided to make

Spaghetti Sauce - Version 1.0

For special occasions I like to make spaghetti sauce from ALMOST scratch. I'm not going to go and make my own tomato sauce just YET, but maybe one day. Go and grab two 29 oz. cans of tomato sauce.I try and add as MANY vegetables as I can possibly find in my fridge. I normally also add jalapenos, but I kept them out this time because of the kiddos. Begin by chopping up all your vegetables.

Meatballs - Version 1.0

We had company over the weekend and I was kind of feeling lazy and didn't want to make Korean food. I decided to keep dinner simple and made spaghetti and meatballs instead. Here's a quick meatball recipe~Get 1 lb. of ground beef and set it aside in a large mixing bowl.Grab some onions, parsley, garlic, and basil and chop it up.Add this to the ground beef.Get some cheese (in this case I used

Lemon-Herb Chicken...

Another non-Korean food post...I have officially gone on a diet, but don't worry! There will still be more Korean recipes coming up because I still have to feed the MR and Munchkin.Anyhow, to start off my diet I marinaded some chicken breasts so that I could take it with me for lunch this week. It's a very EASY recipe in which I don't really use any measuring utensils. Just throw everything in

Baked Ziti

We don't eat Korean food EVERY day, so I thought I would occasionally post up the other things that we eat. =PI hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! We went up to visit my SIL&BIL, so I decided to take some food with us. This is another recipe I got off of Allrecipes.com that I tweaked to my liking. It's a really simple meal that can be enjoyed by everyone.First, you need to
