Did you know that eating an apple a day really can keep the doctor away? Packed full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, an apple is the ultimate health food. And keep the skin on- most of the antioxidant properties are in the apple peels.

Most Koreans celebrate both the lunar and solar New Year, and it depends on the individual family which is a bigger holiday. Here in the States, both my relatives and my husband's relatives do more of the traditional New Year's rituals on January 1st (solar calendar). We eat rice cake soup (dduk guk), honor our elders with bows to the floor (jae sa), and eat and drink together to celebrate the New Year. Whatever your celebration is, cheers!
