Herb & Garlic Chicken Thighs

/ ktbuchs87

 

Even though I publicly professed my approval of chicken boobs a while back, I will never let go of my love of chicken thighs.  They are delicious, pretty cheap, and no matter how you cook them, they stay nice and juicy.

My usual plan of attack when it comes to chicken thighs?  Make them in the Instant Pot and just change up the flavors I add to keep things simple but interesting/tasty.  Which if you follow me on Instagram, you’ve seen the endless parade of shredded chicken bowls.

Sorry, I’m not sorry.  Herb & Garlic Chicken Thighs | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →

Happy Mother’s Day

/ ktbuchs87

If you’re a mom, Happy Mother’s Day.

If you’re about to be a mom, Happy Mother’s Day.

If you aren’t yet a mom but want to be, Happy Mother’s Day.

If your mom isn’t here but you wish she were, Happy Mother’s Day.

If you’re not sure whether being a mom is for you, Happy Mother’s Day.

If you never had a biological mom in your life but someone who acted like a mom, Happy Mother’s Day.

If you feel a LOT of complicated emotions on this day and don’t know what to do, Happy Mother’s Day.

It’s a happy day, a rough day, a sad day, an exciting day, a fun day, a painful day, and a million other emotions.  So no matter where you are on the “mom” spectrum or how you celebrate, I hope you found peace and happiness in your time yesterday.

And to my mom, I am who I am because of your love, guidance, laughter, rules, and example.  I can’t imagine a better mom for me and I’m so glad I get to call you mine.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Happy Monday!  I’m all sorts of in a good mood thanks to the beautiful weather we’ve been enjoying lately.  Spring has sprung round these parts and it’s here in full force.  Trees are budding, grass is green, flowers are blooming, and bugs are back.

Hey, not everything about spring can be sunshine and rainbows.

Boom. That’s Spaghetti

You know what’s an excellent way to spend your Sunday?  Doing food prep and watching 90’s movies.  Most of which are Disney movies.

I mean, can you really get any better than that?

Is that you Spring?  Are you here?  Is it really you?  PLEASE BE HERE!

We have had a good few days of warm-ish weather and more than average sunshine.  I don’t want to jinx it, but I think that we might finally have a new season on our hands… ... Spring? | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →
