I want to thank you for letting me share some of my thoughts/emotions the past few days on the blog. I know that isn’t normally what I do and I’m not looking to turn this blog into something different than what it is. But I think it’s important to speak up when we see something wrong, especially if we have a slightly larger platform to do so. So again, thank you for letting me do that.

But now let’s get to some food because it’s been just a little bit since I shared anything new with you guys! Camping Pasta | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →

Let’s Have a Pizza Party

August 11, 2017August 10, 2017 / 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

August 2, 2017August 1, 2017 / 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).
