PB & J Bites

/ ktbuchs87

Katie tidbit #32: I used to thoroughly dislike peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  Crazy, right?  Like, what child DOESN’T like peanut butter and jelly?  Ok, maybe the kids who are allergic to peanuts might not enjoy the classic PB & J, but they have an incredibly valid reason to dislike that amazing combo.

I just remember every time I opened my lunchbox to find PB & J staring back at me I was a little less than enthused.  I will admit PB & J was better than the we-ran-out-of-sandwich-meat-so-here-is-the-last-of-the-cheese sandwich.  Those were worse than PB & J.  Sorry Mom. PB & J Bites | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →

Thai Cauliflower Crumbles

Ah, the humble cauliflower.  Back at it again to make life awesome.  Seriously, who would think that a cauliflower could do so many things?  Not I, my friends.  Not I.

Anywho, I wasn’t going to share this recipe in its own post because it’s a part of Friday’s recipe.  But after I made it and tried it I decided it was good enough.

Olive & Tomato Salad

I was going to call this Castelvetrano & Tomato Salad but I quickly realized two things.  1. I can’t spell Castelvetrano, let alone say it out loud, without Google assistance and 2. Up until about a week ago, I had no idea that Castelvetrano was a type of olive and I’m betting you didn’t either. Olive & Tomato Salad | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →

Iced Lemon-Lime Green Tea

I think maybe the second time I met Adam’s mom, it was during the summer.  We had just gotten out of classes for summer break and I was going to spend a week with him and his mom in his hometown of Paris.  Illinois.  Not France.  Just to clear that up real quick. Iced Lemon-Lime Green Tea | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →

Balsamic Strawberry Sauce

You know how there are just some things that go together?  Like combinations that are proven to be an amazing flavor profile or whatever fancy phrase professional food people (aka Chefs) use?  Yeah, strawberries and balsamic vinegar are one of those pairings.

And I very much dislike it.

“Um…. Excuse me, Katie?  What about your recipe today…?”  Just hold on let me finish my thought!

I very much dislike it, until I made this sauce. Balsamic Strawberry Sauce | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →
