Roasted Green Potato Salad

/ ktbuchs87 / 2 Comments

I debated calling this a Roasted Green Monster Potato Salad but what makes it monstrous?  Why do we add weird descriptors like monster to our food?  Does it make us more likely to eat it?  Is it some advertising scheme that a bunch of evil genius’ came up with to take over the world through our food system? If I called it the Roasted Green Monster Potato Salad, would you be more inclined to make the recipe?

These are the important questions I ask myself as I name my recipes.  You’re welcome. Roasted Green Potato Salad | Life Healthfully Lived  Continue reading →

PB & J Bites

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 →

Plantain & Pepper Bake

I think I’m the worst millennial ever.  I just don’t get a lot of trends that we millennials are supposed to be all about.  I don’t follow the hip lingo and I’m def not up to date on the hottest celebs.  Ugh.  I hate that I just said celebs.

I’m also not super savvy at social media.  I know I should be because I’m a blogger, but sometimes it’s just too much and I can’t keep up.  I’ve decided to limit myself to just a few even if that means being behind the times or whatever horrible things will happen to those of us not on every single media platform. Plantain & Pepper Bake | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →

Sweet Potato Egg Nests

Remind me why I decided to move Easter weekend?  Better yet, remind me why I decided to move at all?

Today is our last day in our first Chicago apartment and we’re working on packing the last of our stuff, picking up our new keys, and getting ready to do all the heavy lifting tomorrow.  As much as I hate moving, I’m ready to move to our new place.  I loved our first apartment in the big city but it’s time to move on. Sweet Potato Egg Nests | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →
