On my quest for healthier living I stumbled upon this yummy recipe and decided to share it with you all. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. You can even use it as a  dip for bread and  vegetables.

 

I am still having a great time in Korea, although the Hagwon I work at work us like Hebrews. I swear by the end of my 9 hour day I am burnt the hell out. But I must say Korea is beautiful and I have discovered some gems here.

 

While visiting my friend Feather in Daegu, she and I stumbled upon a coffee bar/vegan velvet shop called Youngdo Velvet Gallery. It was an amazing a little place. Everything was covered in velvet giving it a high-end feel, the cappuccinos were amazing, the garden was to die for and the products were luxurious and fantastically economical. They print their own fabric and hand make everything there. I want to share some photos with you.

Enjoy!

Those are awesome handles…
