Kimichi Day with Mom

Kimchi Day Next week we take our long drive to Boulder, Colorado for our big family move. Last Friday we moved everything we owned into a giant pod to be shipped across country. This week we are staying with my parents in Bethesda, Maryland where I grew up. It has been nice to be here with my kids and enjoying the benefits of living in this suburbaurban (this is a word my son uses to describe the neighborhood) area. The best was that was able to help my mom make her amazing kimchi. This is a traditional staple food of South Korea. A spicy fermented cabbage that you eat at practically every meal. My mom is known for her kimchi. I have made this dish a number of times but never comes out the way it should. Tasty but never ever as good as my mom’s. Well she said one of the secrets is that she gets her red pepper flakes shipped her Korea through her sister. She actually purchases Korean red peppers from local farms that grow them organically. Then she sun dries them and then gets them ground. Wow! The time and commitment really shows through in the taste and color. It was amazing to sit on the kitchen floor, mixing all the ingredients by hand and individually covering the cabbage leaves with the red pepper paste mixture. We had so much fun talking and making this wonderful dish. It tasted amazing and will be even better once it is allowed to ferment. More importantly it was made with pure ingredients and love.

Our last Broadlands Neighborhood Block Party

Just like probably every neighborhood in America we are going to a block party. This one is extra special because it is the last neighborhood party before our family moves to Boulder next month. We have lived in our neighborhood for the past 9 years and have great friendships we will miss. To share with my wonderful neighbors I have prepared a roman tomato salad with balsamic reduction, turkey pesto club sandwiches on ciabatta baguette, gluten free chocolate truffle cookies, and special adult drinks. I made two special adult drinks, serving them in individual ball jars to be passed with ease. One is a arnold pulmer with vodka and the other is an ice pick with mint. These are very refreshing and gives a punch if you are not careful. I wish you all happy memorial day. Enjoy and be safe.

Goodbye Cooper, We Will Miss You

Goodbye Cooper, we will miss you. Our family has to say goodbye to an important member of our family today, our dog Cooper. He has been apart of our family for 15 years and he will really be missed. Our son Ty (age 10) wrote a beautiful eulogy which follows. Cooper was a great dog. No other dog in the world could even compare to him. There was a time, when he was always playful, jolly, and happy. There was a time, when he would always come on walks with the family. There was a time, when he would run with mom, walk with dad, and play with my sister and I. It was a when everything was perfect. When we imagined what it would be like without him. But then, something terrible happened. Cooper, got terribly sick. He started getting lumps on his skin first. Then it started getting worse. He went deaf. One of his eyes started getting foggy. His lungs started to fill with water. His heart started to shut down. Our thoughts long ago started to become true. So here we are now. Putting him to sleep. Forever. R.I.P Cooper May he rest in peace

Loving Boulder Creek

Loving Boulder Today is just a beautiful day. One of those days you feel so grateful to be alive and grateful for everything you have in your life. We have been in Boulder for a week now finalizing our house for our move here this summer. Today we spent the morning enjoying the first day of the Boulder farmers market which is located near Boulder Creek. I can not even begin to describe how wonderful the farmers market is here and I look forward to shopping here every week. At the moment I am watching the kids running around near the creek and enjoying the amazing weather and sun. Oh the beautiful sun!!! After spending the week here my family truly feels we have found the perfect place for us to relocate and have the lifestyle we desire. We can’t wait to start our life here this summer and look forward to everything Boulder has to offer.

Super Snack for Super Kids

Super Snack for Super Kids A great after school snack for kids (or anyone for that matter) are these veggies sticks served in a little mason jar. Here I have carrots, cucumber, celery, and red peppers. They are a fresh and crisp finger food that are tasty and easy to eat. You can cut a bunch of veggies ahead of time and put them in mason jars making them a great grab and go snack anytime.

Sweet Potato Coconut "Cookies"

Sweet Potato Coconut Cookies Here is a great afternoon treat for my kids after school today. It’s a little something I learned from Chef Doris Choi over the weekend. Simply cut sweet potatoes into disks and roast. Then toss with a tiny bit if maple syrup and coat with coconut shreds. They are sweet and give you the feeling of eating chewy cookie goodness without any of the guilt.
