Ratatouille Redo

/ ktbuchs87

I’ve noticed the recipes I keep coming back to are traditionally peasant meals. Kitchari, cabbage rolls, shakshuka, any casserole, and ratatouille.  All simple meals with simple ingredients meant to fill and nourish bodies.  They aren’t particularly fancy and you won’t see them featured in their traditional forms on high-end menus.

But that doesn’t mean they aren’t delicious and shouldn’t be eaten all the time.

There is something so satisfying by using staple ingredients like tomato sauce or eggs and creating a meal you know makes people happy.  Which is exactly what I was looking for in dinner a few weeks ago. Ratatouille Redo | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →

Green Granola

/ ktbuchs87 / 2 Comments

Sometimes I try weird things because I’ve learned that often the weird combos are pretty good.  Like putting kale in granola.  That’s weird, right?  Right.  But it’s also oddly good.

Now, I’m not the first person to try this.  I first heard of the idea from Melissa over at Well Fed.  If you’ve never tried any of her recipes, you’re really missing out.  Anyway, I saw her recipe for Green-ola (clever, no?) and it piqued my interest.  I did a little searching around and saw you can indeed buy greenola.

But why buy when you can make stuff yourself? Green Granola | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →

Camping Pasta

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 →

I have recipes for you but right now, those can wait.  I have tips and pictures and funny quips and pithy posts, but those need to wait.  I have life and work and activities, but those need to wait.

Because I need to use my voice.  Using My Voice | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →
