Korean Beef Bulgogi
I wanted to have Korean Beef again, but knew that I need to change up the beef due to my surgery. I needed something that would be easier on my stomach. I found boneless Ribeye steaks, and score!
For the marinade I used the following:
1/2 cup lite soy sauce
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
4 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons fresh ginger
2 tablespoons sesame oil
some sugar (not much)
red pepper flakes (again not much)
Placed the marinaded beef in a Ziploc bag and placed it in the refrigerator for 4 days (due to time management and other things going on –we didn’t cook).
So, when we finally decided to cook…ha. I sauteed the carrots, and onions until cooked. Then seared the steak (one to two minutes per side).
Topped the beef with sesame seeds, and served with the cooked onions and carrots (also sliced some green onions for extra flavor and crunch). Served with the Kimchi Radish, and some Thai pickles. David had his over rice.
The beef was super tender (as it should be just with the cut of beef), and then marinating for 4 days – ugh. But the flavor was amazing, if I do say so myself. I so will be cooking this again. I will say that I need to cook the onions on higher heat with more soy sauce? Not sure but overall super yummy, and it satisfied my cravings.
Blessings.

Southern Living’s French Onion Casserole
David had French Onion soup every night on the cruise (as it was a splurge, and takes more time than I am willing to do). But then this recipe was in Southern Living’s Magazine. So I thought I would give it a try. Please click on the link for their recipe instructions.  
Sliced onions, with unsalted butter, parsley, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper.
Baguette sliced, and toasted in a 350 degree oven for 12 minutes.
Onions, cooked…to nothing…3 hours later…I am not sure I did this correctly…but the smells in the kitchen were amazing.  
Flour added, then Sherry, and beef broth.
First layer of casserole.
First layer with cheese added.
Second layer with cheese.
Baked, covered…then uncovered and broiled to brown.  
Doesn’t look ANYTHING like theirs, but the flavor was amazing. David loved it, as did Stephen. It will be a long while before I make this again, and it will be in Fall or Winter due to the time in the kitchen–but I will make it again.
Blessings.
Sunday Thought
“Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” – John 21:25
If we were to list everything we did well, would we believe it? Do we doubt ourselves too much? Why is it if we do something well so hard for us to believe it in ourselves? In others? Doubt.
There should be thousands of stories of Christ in Bible, and we should believe all of them. We have to convince others to believe the ones that are there, let alone the ones that aren’t.
How many things do you feel you have to convince yourself to believe on a daily basis. Is that really true, especially in today’s media environment? So many things can be manufactured by individuals that look real – are the real? Do things have to be held in your hands to be real?
Just my thoughts for today…believing in many things…sight unseen.
Blessings!
Kimchi Radish
I had this Kimchi powder mix and rice wine vinegar… so I sliced some radishes and added some of the powder mix.
It was a quick marinade, tangy and not too spicy. I really enjoyed it. If you like Kimchi, you can find powder mixes at your local Oriental market. Mix it with some rice wine vinegar and your favorite vegetable—Kimchi!

Avocado Fries
I have seen posts about these around for a while…so I found several recipes and decided to combine a couple of them.  I used one avocado – and peeled and sliced.
Combine:
1/2 cup ground flax seeds
1/2 Panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
Whip together an egg, and some water (not much) to create an egg wash. Dip the avocado slices in the wash to coat, then in the Panko mixture. Press down slightly.
Place on a baking sheet – spray first – and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees or until crispy.
I must confess, I didn’t like these at first. Maybe because I wasn’t sure what to expect. But after a bit, I really did enjoy them. I will make them again, and adjust the amount of ground flax seed, and longer baking time as I like things crunchier.
Blessings.
In love
I need this today…maybe you do as well.
Blessings!
