Comfortable

I love this simple grilled kimchi cheez sandwich with egg on soft and sweet brioche bread. This is one of my go to recipes when I’m wanting comfort food or when my belly is feeling tender. Bringing me back to moments as a kid, and feeding my inner child. Although, I kept it even more simple back then with just cheese and bread. This recipe is simple and quick to make. Paired with kimchi (Korean pickles, fermented spiced cabbage) to add an element of crunch, spice, and gut loving bacteria to help digestion. See recipe below…

First, I begin with an Ayurveda practice before cooking that I love, helping to keep past, present, or future worries and thoughts from being cooked in or stirred into the food. To ground me into the moment before gathering the ingredients. I close my eyes and take a few deep belly breaths. Then, gather all the ingredients and wash my hands.
