Thanks for visiting Cara Craves…
My name is Cara and I am a trained chef and recipe developer and I have a passion for food!
I love cooking, baking and experimenting with food; throwing ingredients together and making new and delicious creations. I love being inspired by a recipe and then altering to make it more healthy; it’s a fun challenge. So if there is any recipe you would like to see on this blog, just let me know.
I have a healthy and nutritious outlook on my diet and life. I strive to eat healthy and exercise, but I never neglect my constantly nagging sweet tooth. I eat what I crave, but always do so in moderation. Eating is something that we do everyday, so why not enjoy it!
I love to exercise, but I hate running! I have found other ways to exercise which are just as good and keep me interested and motivated. Hats off to bodyrock.tv who keep me motivated to make time for exercise everyday!
There are so many things that I crave out of life that I hope that I can share with you on this blog.
Enjoy!
Love your blog! I hear craving food and travel–and I need to follow your lead on non-running forms of exercise! Look forward to reading more!

Thanks so much!
I truly think that food and travel is the best combo.
Have you tried yoga?
the “travel and food” are a good combination, the colors, smells,fantasy of nature, change food tastes.
I’m so glad you commented on my blog because it brought me to yours! I love it so far, and can’t wait to hear all about your foodie adventures in Korea! I’m not a runner either, and love a huge bowl of cereal, so i think we definitely have some things in common 😉 look forward to reading more
Thanks for your kind words Kristen…
It is nice to know that there are other cereal enthusiasts and
non-runners out there!
I am so glad you commented on my blog because it led me to yours! I can’t wait to read more… 🙂
Thanks Katie!
I think we share a common love for all things sweet and delicious!
Great blog! Thanks for stopping by mine! Is that you in your header? You have a rockin’ bod!
Ha! Thanks Jessica. That is me in my header…Thanks for the very sweet compliment!

Thank you April 🙂
Glad you commented on my page and allowed me to find you. We read the same blogs, so I am surprised I didn’t find you before now!! 🙂

Yay for Canadian bloggers…
I’ve always been interested in teaching overseas, so your blog is extra interesting!! haha
Have a great day
Jessica
Hey!
I found your blog through one of your comments on Fitnessista’s blog (I was reading about her awesome looking Thanksgiving feast). I’m teaching in Korea now and read a ton of Korea blogs and fitness blogs (KERF, HEAB, and all the rest) but you’re the first blog I’ve stumbled across that combines the two worlds – neat!
That’s awesome!
Where are you living in Korea?
whoa – are you my blog twin?!
It’s so cool that you are living in South Korea right now? How is the World Cup spirit over there?! I’m in Germany currently and it is crazy! -Vicky(vdubb.wordpress.com)
Yeah, it’s crazy here too!
When South Korea played against Greece and won the other weekend, it was like mayhem!
Not sure how much farther the Koreans will advance, but there is still lots of hope from
the Koreans, of course 🙂
Your food philosophy is awesome and I hate running too! Yay for non-runners! lol
You commented on my blog a while back, and I’m now having a chance to poke around the blogs of people who stopped there.
…I feel deliriously inept in my kitchen now, having seen some of these posts. Could I convince you to visit Incheon? Or somehow ship something you’ve made? Most of my kitchen skills require an oven and something more expansive than what I’ve got in my apartment, a bummer for me.
I can totally relate with the lack of oven thing…just means I have to be more creative!
I am trying to think of something I could send you…?!
This is the first blog I have found about healthy eating and living abroad 🙂 yay
what a neat adventure you are on! I can’t wait to read more about it. Love the recipes you have.
Cheers,
LC
Love the blog! So simple, yet beautiful. Your from Canada? Whereabouts? Have fun on the ‘other side’!
Hi Jenn!
Thanks for stopping by.
I am from Canada, from a small town in southern Ontario, just north of Guelph.
Hopefully I will hear from you again soon 🙂
great blog cara!
Hey! I’m from Germany (and 15 years old) and I follow your site, it is soo great. keep on going 🙂
Thanks Melina!
Nice hearing from you.
Hi! I do not like running either, but I love exercise! I have an adventurous take on food, too and I love trying new things!
Just found your blog, can’t wait to read more!
I came across your site on gracefulfitness and am excited to read more! I have many Korean friends and have even thought about teaching English in Korea so I am looking forward to exploring your blog and learning about your experience.
Awesome!
My husband and I love it here in Korea. I would recommend this experience to anyone. (as long as you are teaching at the right place)
If you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Being here for a couple of years now; I now know the ins and outs of the system.
Hi Cara!
I stumbled across your blog from another blog that I read today and then proceeded to read your whole entire archive! My husband and I are thinking of going to Korea to teach for a year and I was wondering if you could give us some insight. Things like public/private schools, what area, what organization you went through to find jobs. My email is pamcaristo@gmail.com if you have a second.
I was so excited to find your blog!! You are doing exactly what we hope to be doing next year!
Did you receive my e-mail?
Hopefully it got to you ok.
Love your About section! I love ice cream and pizza too – and yes Home-Made pizza rocks! I’m currently living in Ontario – but not from here originally. I would give my heart to travel, but my student loans prevent that – for about the next 20 years or so 😉
Nice to “meet” you.
