Let’s Have a Pizza Party

/ ktbuchs87

You know what this Friday needs?  A full blown, good old pizza party.  Just tons of pizza as far as the eye can see.

And by “party” I mean I just want to be in a room with all the pizza, my cats, and Netflix.  Maybe Adam.  Maybe. Let's Have a Pizza Party | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →

Chef Free Meals

I remember when I was younger and learning how to cook, my mom told me, “If you can read, you can cook.”  For the most, she’s right.  As long as you can read a recipe you can hobble together a meal.  Of course, there are fancy techniques and words and recipes that do require a little more know how, but that doesn’t mean you can’t cook. Chef Free Meals | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →

Sweet Potato Dumpling Salad

This recipe was a series of, “Hmmmm… I wonder what would happen if I did this…?” Luckily, the cooking gods blessed me and at each experimentation step everything worked out.  I’m always amazed when my random thoughts turn into edible recipes but I guess that’s pretty much how ALL recipes come to be.  Someone thought of throwing a collection of things together and then eating that collection of things.

Man, I make cooking sound like poetry. Sweet Potato Dumpling Salad | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →

Muhammara with Za’atar Pita Chips

/ ktbuchs87

You know what’s really fun?  Listening to your husband try to say fun new words like muhammara and za’atar.  To be fair, it wasn’t until a few days ago that I even read the word muhammara let alone ate it or said it out loud and za’atar is a little funky with that apostrophe.

It’s mu (like in mud) ha (like in hum) mar (like in mark) a (like in uhhh) and za (like the end of pizza) a (this is silent… don’t say it) tar (like the black sticky stuff).

I’m not a linguist folks.  I just like words.  And food.  Always food. Muhammara with Za'atar Pita Chips | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →
