Sparkling Sangria Recipe
Over the weekend, my family came for a visit, and brought along Alexa, my best friend from Ohio! It was such a fun weekend, and I’m sad it went by so fast. We did manage to pack in quite a lot of activity along the way, including shopping, a photo shoot, and of course whipping up a few delicious recipes.
I first had Bibimbap at a Korean restaurant in Washington D.C. and I loved it. The tender rice, fresh vegetables, and warm egg make an amazing combination, and it’s easy to customize to your preferred spiciness.
I really tried to follow this recipe from Martha Stewart, but with every recipe, I made a few substitutions. Instead of shallots, we used a sweet onion, and we cooked the rice in veggie broth instead of water. We also added in a red pepper, and a tsp of fresh ginger. This came out beautifully! The recipe was pretty easy to follow, so I’d recommend giving it a try. It’s rare that I actually follow a recipe, so check that one out!
Of course, with all the recipe following, you know we had to do some experimentation. On Friday night, Alexa and I were craving sangria, so we decided to whip up a super simple “lighter” Sangria recipe, using lots of fresh fruit, and diet tonic water.

Despite never actually having the real thing, I made a vegan bulgogi that I still crave. Turning it into bibimbap–which I’ve also never actually had–was even better. 🙂
