I had to run a few errands this morning and had a craving for something super healthy lol.
So I found that awesome juice bar called Juices For Life and I ordered a drink called “Revive”.
It’s made of carrots, ginger, beets, and grape ginger. It was so good and had a nice bite of spice from the ginger (which is my fav!). It’s just what I needed to give me energy this morning to run around the city! =D
What do you prefer, Do you fruit smoothies or freshly made juices? Or both?!

This is not a recipe blog or tutorial. I just wanted to share my lovely meal with you lovely people! =)
I marinated the pork in Korean BBQ sauce cooked the meat with mushrooms and once done I added to the slow cooker.
Added chicken broth and water with garlic powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, and pepper flakes.
Chopped up an onion, cut up some bak choy, grated ginger, and seaweed which were all added to the slow cooker.
I let it cook for 3 hours and instead of adding the noodles, I added the uncooked ramen to a bowl and poured the soup over the noodles (this way it prevent the noodles from getting too soggy from sitting in the liquid).

One of me and my husband’s favorite things to do is to eat! We love eating Asian cuisine! It is so colorful, filled with flavor, and most of it is very healthy. So I decided to make a Japanese Ramen Dish for dinner one night.
My husband found the recipe in a food magazine he was browsing while we were waiting in line at CVS. He said “Ooo Babes, take a picture of this recipe! We should try and make this at home!” It was a recipe of Spicy Pork Ramen Soup. He said that he wanted to make it. So we went to the store to gather all the ingredients. But a week went by and he still hadn’t made it. I was getting impatient and told him that I would make it. LOL!
The recipe required cooking seasoned pork and onions in a skillet and place to the side once cooked.
Then I had to add water, chicken stock, and soy sauce to the slow cooker for the base of the soup.
I twisted the recipe a bit so I added mushrooms, fresh ginger, and grated garlic to the slow cooker.
I combined the pork and onions with the ingredients that were already in the slow cooker. The food cooked on high for about 5 hours. When the timer was at about 2 hours left, I added baby bok choy. When it was about 15 minutes left I added 2 packs of ramen noodles(I left out the chicken seasoning that came with it).
Then it was all done. I added a boiled egg to my bowl and dressed my soup with some sesame seeds as well as cayenne pepper for an extra kick of heat! It was so yummy! My husband and I scarfed it down in like 2 seconds! Ha! I will definitely be making this soup again in the near future!
If you would like the full recipe from the magazine, just let me know!
Have you made ramen dish before? If so, feel free to share your recipe! I would love to try it out and maybe even blog about it!
