Dark Chocolate Zucchini Cake Bars

I seriously dread coming up with names for my recipes.  I go back and forth between cutesie adorable names and just straight out saying what the ingredients are.  I need to hire one of those nail polish namer people (legit job) and have them start coming up with fun names for my recipe.

Until then…. You get Dark Chocolate Zucchini Cake Bars. Dark Chocolate Zucchini Cake Bars | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading

Bruschetta Jam

As much as I try, summer is coming to an end.  Even though I absolutely LOVE the fall, summer is my second favorite.  I love not wearing socks or coats or layering my clothes so I don’t freeze to death.  I love the light lasting until almost 8 pm.  I even love the heat most days minus the lung crushing humidity.

But more importantly, I love summer produce. Bruschetta Jam | 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

Sweet Potato Dumpling Salad

This recipe was a series of, “Hmmmm… I wonder what would happen if I did this…?” Luckily, the cooking gods blessed me and at each experimentation step everything worked out.  I’m always amazed when my random thoughts turn into edible recipes but I guess that’s pretty much how ALL recipes come to be.  Someone thought of throwing a collection of things together and then eating that collection of things.

Man, I make cooking sound like poetry. Sweet Potato Dumpling Salad | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading
