About

About me:

Welcome! I’m Samantha Buckner, the recipe developer, food photographer, and the all around creative spirit behind With Peanut Butter on Top.

Most days you can find me in my happy place: my kitchen! If I’m not there, you can more than likely find me out adventuring with my husband Robert and dog Benson, photographing families/couples in a storytelling way, or curled up with a good book…. or daydreaming out my next return to Europe (my favorite place ever)! The thing I am most passionate about in life is helping others to live healthier and happier lives.

My goal is to offer straightforward, simple-to-follow recipes that are wholesome and actually taste good.


My blogs mission…

To provide you with simple, healthy recipes made with love from scratch. My journey began with a simple belief: that food should nourish both the body and the planet.

In my kitchen, every single ingredient tells a story of sustainability and care. I’m committed to sourcing fresh, wholesome ingredients that are kind to our earth and to ourselves. My recipes are designed not only to delight your taste buds but also to align with the lifestyle that values health and environmental stewardship.

Join me as I explore the bounty of nature, share creative recipes, and offer practical tips on how to live more sustainably. Whether you’re a seasoned organic enthusiast or just starting to embrace a greener way of living, I’m here to inspire you to make delicious choices that are good for you and good for the planet.

Together, let’s create a kitchen where every meal makes a positive impact on our health and our world.
