Homemade Hamburger Helper

Fair warning:  I can’t ever remember eating Hamburger Helper as a kid.  I’m not saying it didn’t happen, but not often enough for me to have a memory of it.

Another fair warning: It is hard to take appetizing pictures of this dish.  Some food is just like that.  No matter how you do it, it’s going to look a little gross.  I mean, if I was a professional I’m sure I could use all sorts of fancy tricks to make it look delicious.  Inedible. But delicious. Homemade Hamburger Helper | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading

Will you allow me to rant for just a hot second?  I mean, I’m going to do it anyway but you don’t have to read it.  Although you should.  But if you’re not in a ranty mood this morning, you can always look at this post with pictures of my cats.

Because we all know the internet loves cats. Healthy Rules | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading

Gluten AND Dairy Free Calzone

A few weekends ago, I wanted a pizza.  No.  Strike that.  I NEEDED PIZZA.  The craving had been building ever since we moved and walked past a Giordanos on our way to get dinner one night.  The smell that wafted out of there wrapped around me and wouldn’t let me go.  I had to have pizza and even seriously considered going through severe gastrointestinal discomfort just to have it.

But then I remembered the last time I had dairy.  It was NOT a pretty picture and while I can laugh about it now (who wouldn’t laugh about spending the entire night on the toilet?!) it isn’t an experience I’m anxious to have again.  Gluten & Dairy Free Calzones | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading

Lemony Mung Bean Soup

Is it just me or does mung bean sound gross and weird?  I bet it’s because it rhymes with dung.  And who wants to eat a dung bean?  No one.  No one wants to eat anything with dung in the name.

Unless you’re a dung beetle, but I digress. Lemony Mung Bean Soup | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading
