Muhammara with Za’atar Pita Chips

You know what’s really fun?  Listening to your husband try to say fun new words like muhammara and za’atar.  To be fair, it wasn’t until a few days ago that I even read the word muhammara let alone ate it or said it out loud and za’atar is a little funky with that apostrophe.

It’s mu (like in mud) ha (like in hum) mar (like in mark) a (like in uhhh) and za (like the end of pizza) a (this is silent… don’t say it) tar (like the black sticky stuff).

I’m not a linguist folks.  I just like words.  And food.  Always food. Muhammara with Za'atar Pita Chips | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading

I’m having a thing with mayo lately.  I just can’t get enough.  It’s weird because I NEVER liked mayo as a kid.  I would use mustard on my sandwiches because I couldn’t stand mayo.

So it’s weird that I want to put it on All. The. Things. Smoky Garlic Mayo | Life Healthfully Living Continue reading

Pesto Eggplant Burgers

There are a lot of great recipes for veggie burgers out there.  This one from Minimalist Baker is one of my favorite.  And while I prefer to make my own food rather than get store bought, sometimes I just want to take the easier route and go to the store and get what I want in like two minutes.

Which is the position I found myself in the Monday before the 4th of July. Pesto Eggplant Burgers | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading
