You guys. This weekend was perfect. It’s like Mother Nature is teasing us with spring weather. It was in the 70’s all weekend and it’s going to be the same this week too. I feel like winter is over? We didn’t have a snow storm (it probably was all dumped on us last year) and winter wasn’t even that frigid. I remember a handful of days that were in the teens but nothing as bad as what it has been in year’s past. To be honest, this kind of stuff freaks me out because I think about global warming and all the polar bears :( lol, the things that go through my head.
Since the weather was so nice this weekend we stopped by our new house a lot (they’re tiling and cabinets are all in!!) and we also tried two new places to eat. Additionally, we grilled pizza! We also went on a bunch of walks with Winston and overall, it was just a great, relaxing weekend. I’m thankful I have today off too!
Bowls seem to be a hot new trend and I’m all about embracing trends. Especially food trends.
There’s this Korean restaurant near our house that’s kind of like Chipotle-style where you choose your grain, protein, and toppings. I love this concept and I see it in so many quick eats places now.
This Korean galbi bowl is everything I’ve dreamed of in an Asian bowl! I actually made the marinade for the galbi by mistake. I wasn’t intending on marinading the galbi in it but then I thought to do that and oh my gosh. The flavor!!
And then when you put it on a hot grill or griddle, the sugars caramelize and give the meat a nice crispy crust. The toppings are fun because you get to choose what you want on your bowl! Build it however you like!
The fried egg with runny yolk and kimchi is a total must.

I had some beef short ribs and found this recipe I made the marinade and used it in my Instant Pot The ribs were amazing and the sauce over rice was spectacular. Thanks for the wonderful recipe
wonderful!!
I love this! And enjoy the nice weather- we are the opposite of Spring looking at a week of snow here in Seattle. gahhhh….
The egg on this bowl makes it irresistible!!
I LOVE bowl dishes like this. Looks amazing!!
Yum! Love the use of pineapple in this!
Josh is going to go crazy for this bowl topped with an egg!
Where do you get your kimchi? I’m in the hunt for a great brand! All that I’ve tried thus far (from asian grocery stores to costco) taste odd. I love it from Korean restaurants and food trucks, but I haven’t found a store bought option that compares!
I have a Korean friend who’s mom makes it for her and they gave me two large jars! I know, this totally doesn’t help. I’m sorry!
I want this for dinner tonight!! Delish!
