Lemon Meringue Pie
So i was trying to make this classic lemon meringue pie , since it’s my husband all time favorite , well it used to be his favorite until i made fruit tart not too long ago , and it became his favorite now . But still i think i still owe it to my husband to make him a real good home made lemon meringue pie . Years ago when we were just married , probably the first year , i tried to make lemon meringue pie for him , okay , not home made from scratch everything , since i bought the pie crust , and then the filling…

I was going to blog about this couple of days ago since , the soup was made few days ago , but i kept forgetting about it . But this was about the fish soup , korean spicy fish soup .

I love fish , but it’s just scaling the fish was the…

Classic Fruit Tart
Made this fruit tart this afternoon , well actually was planning to make it last night , but didn’t have enough time , we got home quite late , and fixing dinner quite late . But late last night i decided to make the fillings for this wonderful classic fruit tart . Most of the tart i saw used cream cheese as its filling , which i don’t care so much about . I love the vanilla custard that i made for eclairs , and i decided to make that custard as the filling for my fruit tart . The crust was a lil different than regular pie crust ,…

Garlic Rosemary Roasted Chicken Legs
Since we have so many chicken legs / thighs in the freezer , i’ve been trying to circle my dinner menu this week around that . And tonight i ended up with this garlic rosemary chicken legs , so easy and less mess . I love quick fix dinner that does not require too much mess , esp. when i have to handle everything myself . My dishwasher was already busy going , so i refuse to make a complicated dinner that require a lot of washing dishes or making too much mess on the stove . This was great .. just dredge , dip and roll , and bake…

After days and days of korean dishes on our kitchen and dining table , we decided that it’s time to take a break from korean food . LOL , not that we don’t love it , we do .. that’s the problem !! So tonight , i decided to go a little italian , sausage and seafood pasta with essence cream sauce . It was not hard , just like any other pasta dish , i used hot italian sausage and mixed seafood in this dish .

Kimchi Chigae ( Spicy Fermented Cabbage Stew )
Since i made kimchi about 2 weeks ago , i’ve been trying all kinds of korean dish that uses kimchi as its base . One of them is this , kimchi stew . A little bit nervous at first since truthfully i don’t really like kimchi itself , but i like kimchijeon ( kimchi pancake ) , so why not trying kimchi stew . Add some meat in there , and water , which might be the reason why it’s not as sour and strong , but it has a very delicious broth !! You need : 2 1/2 cups of chopped kimchi ( or bite size kimchi ) 1/2…

Jjamppong ( Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup w/ Vegetables )
Made Jjamppong tonight for dinner , it was very delicious . This dish i call , one pot meal , why ? Because it has everything you need in just 1 bowl . Not to mention it is spicy and delicious . I made the stock first , using dried anchovy , onion , kelp and dried shiitake mushroom . And let it boil for 40 minutes . The dish itself actually is not hard to make at all , just takes time with the preparation , not to mention having to wait for the stock to be ready . But anyway , the soup has tons of vegetables you…
