Can you believe we woke up to snow yesterday? Which means I'm still needing all of the warm and cozy meals like this one! Super flavorful, Christie!
I can't believe it either! All our garden veggies have died from the cold but oh well! Just need to re-start from scratch. Thanks so much Katherine!
OMG kimchi juice?! I can't handle that kinda heat but I know my boyfriend would be ALL over it!!

So comforting and delicious - I love having a can of tuna on hand! So useful for so many things 🙂
Spicy and sour, so yummy! Plus I am loving that this only requires 7 ingredients!! 💕💕

I didn't know what kimchi was until the other day and saw how it was made on a cooking show. There's a lot to it! I love your spin on it incorporating it into a comforting dish.
