Spring Green Soup

/ ktbuchs87 / 3 Comments

I have one more soup recipe for you before it gets too warm to even think about soup.  And I think this might be one of my new favorite soups, which is saying a lot because I like soup.

Why do I like soup?  I like throwing a bunch of things into one pot and making a meal out of it.  It’s easy to use up odds and ends you might have, you can make a bunch of meals out of one dish, and there are so many different varieties of soup.  Stew, bisque, brothy, chunky, creamy, pureed, gazpacho, vichyssoise, goulash… I’m like Bubba from Forest Gump naming all the shrimp dishes.  I’m ok with that. Spring Green Soup | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →

I had another recipe ready to go for you today, but I decided to switch it up at the last minute.  Because I’m crazy like that.  Don’t worry, you’ll get the other recipe but this one comes first. Sweet Potato Pudding | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →

Gluten AND Dairy Free Calzone

/ ktbuchs87 / 1 Comment

A few weekends ago, I wanted a pizza.  No.  Strike that.  I NEEDED PIZZA.  The craving had been building ever since we moved and walked past a Giordanos on our way to get dinner one night.  The smell that wafted out of there wrapped around me and wouldn’t let me go.  I had to have pizza and even seriously considered going through severe gastrointestinal discomfort just to have it.

But then I remembered the last time I had dairy.  It was NOT a pretty picture and while I can laugh about it now (who wouldn’t laugh about spending the entire night on the toilet?!) it isn’t an experience I’m anxious to have again.  Gluten & Dairy Free Calzones | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →

Lemony Mung Bean Soup

Is it just me or does mung bean sound gross and weird?  I bet it’s because it rhymes with dung.  And who wants to eat a dung bean?  No one.  No one wants to eat anything with dung in the name.

Unless you’re a dung beetle, but I digress. Lemony Mung Bean Soup | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →

Rain, Rain, Go Away….

Rain.  More rain.  And, wait for it…. even more rain.  That’s been the theme of the weekend and I’m starting to feel a little bit like Noah.  Ok, it hasn’t been raining THAT long but it has for the past few days and I don’t think it’s supposed to stop until tomorrow.  We’re actually under a flash flood warning here in Chicago, so perhaps I’ll need my ark after all… Rain, Rain, Go Away | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading →
