It’s Spring!
It’s Spring here in South Korea! Or so they say. The weather is a bit bipolar with some days a little bit warm and others still wintery cold. But, if there is anything that signals the coming of spring here and in Japan, it’s the appearance of sakura or cherry blossoms! Last time I’ve seen any was about sixteen years ago.

This is an easy recipe I invented as I have been running out of easy lunch ideas for me and the little one. I always make it a point to make meals that both of us can eat. This means it should be quick, easy, must have little to no salt, and nutritious but with lots of flavor. This is not your traditional...
