This is a version of that with some extra 💖 Perfect with a dollop of Greek/ natural/ coconut yogurt.The sauce is also dreamy with apricots, peaches and nectarines.This makes around 1/2 cup of sauce that will keep well in the fridge for a few days.#berrybonanza Alessandra -

Easy Berry Crumble/ Crisp/ Cobbler-Type Thing with Cereal Streusel Topping Easy Berry Crumble/ Crisp/ Cobbler-Type Thing with Cereal Streusel Topping
I am admittedly not much of a baker. And even for a non-baker like me, to call a crisp/crumble/cobbler type thingy "easy" is almost redundant.This is also admittedly not the best crisp/crumble/cobbler type thingy recipe out there. But the point is that even if it isn't, and if you've never tried making one, you'll probably be so pleasantly surprised at how easy, adaptable, and yummy this oven hack's recipe turns out that you'll add these thingies to your regular repertoire.The general rule to these things is that there's some fruit filling, and there's some kind of streusel topping, and the ratio of one to the other is up to you. I'm a roughly 60/40 fruit/topping type gal, which works out to about a 2-inch layer of fruit to a roughly 2/3-inch layer of topping (the fruit will reduce and thicken a bit).If you're in a real hurry, you can buy a can of pie filling, and mix it with half fresh or frozen berries. A little pinch of salt mixed in helps to round out the flavors and soften the saccharin sweetness of canned pie filling.The streusel topping can be made and refrigerated up to a week in advance. x -

Ddukbokki with Pork & Kimchi Ddukbokki with Pork & Kimchi
Ddukbokki is a dish made with plain dduk (Korean rice cake that has a plain rice flavor and a texture something like a cross between gnocchi and mochi when cooked), a sweet and spicy hot sauce made with gochujang and often also with Korean style fish cake called odeng or eomuk. But when we were kids, my dad always made it with pork and ripe kimchi, and it's my favorite way to eat it.The chew of the dduk, a little bite of pork, some crunchytangy contrast from the ripe kimchi, and that sweet and spicyhot sauce - Delicious memories... :) x -
