Green Granola

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

Let’s Have a Pizza Party

You know what this Friday needs?  A full blown, good old pizza party.  Just tons of pizza as far as the eye can see.

And by “party” I mean I just want to be in a room with all the pizza, my cats, and Netflix.  Maybe Adam.  Maybe. Let's Have a Pizza Party | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading

Chef Free Meals

I remember when I was younger and learning how to cook, my mom told me, “If you can read, you can cook.”  For the most, she’s right.  As long as you can read a recipe you can hobble together a meal.  Of course, there are fancy techniques and words and recipes that do require a little more know how, but that doesn’t mean you can’t cook. Chef Free Meals | 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
