Gravlax Kim Bap


GLUTEN FREE/ PESCETARIAN/DAIRY FREE/PALEO

An East meets North recipe this is one of the must haves when I make gravlax. Taking one of our favorite Korean dishes along with a favorite Swedish dish we have created a monster. J

Traditional Kim Bab has egg and radish along with the other ingredients listed below. I’ve replaced these with gravlax since it has it’s own tangy/sweet taste the egg and radish provide in the original.

Gravad Lax/Gravlax/Marinated Salmon


GLUTEN FREE/ PESCETARIAN/DAIRY FREE/PALEO

Love my Swedish background, mostly for Ikea, but also for the food. J One of my favorite dishes is gravlax, a type of marinated salmon, served raw. Thankfully Ikea had a cookbook of Swedish recipes, including gravlax.

It is not too complicated, but does require planning ahead, since it needs to marinate for at least 3 days. Thankfully we have fridges to marinate our salmon in. The original recipe used the cool of the earth to keep the fish until it was ready.

Had I Known...Another List for Brides to Be


Everyone says they would do it differently, and I'm one of those people. I wish I knew about Pinterest and Etsy before I got married. I wish I knew where I might get disappointed in the planning process. When considering all of these "wishes" and "wishes" I've heard from other brides I came up with this list. These are not all points from my own wedding, but from what I’ve seen, heard and experienced at several weddings, including my own.
