My Celiac Disease was diagnosed four years ago and I am still navigating through it all with gluten-free substitutes. A lot of these meal preps are really easy to make with one free afternoon of focus. As a college student on a budget, I can't spend ...

Meal Preps

You'll notice a lot of these are Korean-inspired… haha! I find that these are super healthy and well-balanced for me! A lot of these are side dishes to have with a protein and some rice. I am grateful that a lot of food influencers/bloggers I follow ...

It's so easy to meal prep this for the week and have a whole dozen of eggs ready to eat!! I also brought this to Friendsgiving one year and it was a HIT! My boyfriend also loves them dearly. I made my own recipe.
At its prime usage, I would make these eggs maybe every other week.

Mayak Eggs (Korean Marinated Eggs)

Really easy to make with almost the exact same marinade as the Mayak Eggs :) I like that the marination time is only 30 minutes, which makes life easy for me.

Mayak Avocado, Korean Marinated Avocado Recipe - Seonkyoung Longest

I have my own gluten-free substitutes for some of the sauces, but cucumber kimchi is really easy to make! And i think it's adorable to buy the smaller persian cucumbers when they're not in season.

Cucumber Kimchi

I genuinely LOVE this recipe… haters gonna hate. ;)
Amazing recipe and I will probably consume it during the wintertime as well.

Tomato Kimchi Recipe for Summer - Seonkyoung Longest

This is how I would make onsen-steamed eggs, onions, and beef in the dorms.
Rice cooker recipes are underrated! My family has done shabu shabu in one before!

I've admittedly only ever had chicken tikka masala from my school's cafeteria, but they do it really well and all I have to do is microwave it. I put some chili crisps on top for extra spice.

Chicken Tikka Masala

Amazing with Barnacle Foods Chili Oil on top!

Potato Salad

Quinoa Meals are also very underrated. I think it's a cool little textural balance to the larger goodies inside.

Recipe: Quinoa, Mushrooms and Peas with Miso

My school's market cooks up a really great Chana Masala with potatoes. I like to put chili crisps on top for extra spice!

Authentic Chana Masala Recipe (Chickpea Masala)

It takes some getting used to, but I actually enjoy the cottage cheese/mustard combo for some of the dips. People who hate on this plate are weird. It looks so good. I'm not sure from a dietitian's standpoint if this is a fully balanced meal, but it ...

Yes, the Tiffany Plate

It's a healthier version of berries and cream! I love this for breakfast and honey makes it so much better!

Cottage Cheese With Fruit, topped off with Honey

Individual Ingredients

These are all household staples in my life. My fridge cannot go without any of these condiments or foods. All purchasable online, some in grocery stores!

I put this on everything, from potato salad to chicken tikka masala, and even miso quinoa.
Barnacle Foods is amazingly sustainable and I support their mission 100%. The recipe was curated by one of my favorite YouTubers as well! Shoutout to Taku from Outdoor Chef Life.

Kelp Chili Crisp

Another good chili oil. I like this better with dim sum because it sticks to the dumplings better. The chili crisps aren't as crispy as with the Barnacle Foods one.

Jungle Kitchen Crunchy Garlic Chili Oil 6oz

I always rely on Whole Foods for any kind of gluten-free baked good. I like to make a nice avocado toast-inspired bagel with cherry tomatoes and onions!

Bagels Gluten Free at Whole Foods Market

A must-have in Asian households such as mine. I like tamari more because it has a sweeter taste and holds less sodium usually.

San-J Tamari Soy Sauce Gluten Free - 10 Fl. Oz.

This has more sodium than Tamari if you are looking for a closer substitute to soy sauce.

Gluten-Free Soy Sauce - Kikkoman Home Cooks

Loooove this. I use it all the time in marinades or to make a really fast kimchi with the gochugaru. I sometimes mix this into mabo tofu if I want it to be spicier.

Gochujang Korean Chili Sauce

I need a lot of my foods to be spicy, so, sriracha it is! I find that spicier foods also encourage me to hydrate more. It's a win-win.

Sriracha Chili Sauce - No MSG, Gluten Free

Really great soup to dip a gluten-free cracker or toasted bread into! It doesn't even take 10 minutes to heat up on the stove.

Signature SELECT Loaded Potato Soup With Bacon - 24 Oz

Amazing on rice. One of my comfort meals. This is the first gluten-free chili I've enjoyed since becoming a Celiac.

Signature SELECT Steakhouse Chili With Beans - 24 Oz

Really great instant noodle. I like to eat it with kimchi on the side!!
+ hoisin sauce and sriracha
