Triple Chocolate Cheesecake (Instant Pot)

January 22, 2021 Amanda Plott
triple-chocolate-cheesecake16.jpg

So, here’s the thing. Sometimes when you’re trying to eat better, feel better, and be better… you need to indulge a little bit. One of the many mantras that I try to keep in my own mind is that you can ‘eat whatever you want so long as you cook/make it yourself.’ I think the idea behind it is that you would burn off as many calories in making your food as you would eating it, or at least enough to counter balance it.

That means, today we’re having a Triple Chocolate Cheesecake and I’m not going to feel guilty about eating it. Why? Because I made it from scratch and I did my very best to make it better-for-you while still tickling that chocolate craving itch with all the richness and decadence that comes along with it….

Hummingbird Bread

January 18, 2021 Amanda Plott

Since getting my knew kitchen appliances this past year, and with the weather being rather nice right now (as most winters are in Texas) I’ve spent my fair share of time recently with baking! Baking always used to intimidate me, but it’s become less and less of a fear as I’ve made my mistakes and learned from them as best I could.

This Hummingbird Bread is a delicious take on a Hummingbird Cake, but I’ve left off any sort of cream cheese frosting because… well, I just didn’t find it needed. This bread is perfectly sweet all on it’s own and it’s loaded with plenty of fruits; coconut, pineapple, and even banana!…

Hot Sh!t Seasoning

Back in June (wait really? I’ve really lost all sense of time and space…) I made these awesome Skinny Baked Garlic Parmesan Boneless Chicken Wings. And the seasoning mix that I put with it was just so damn amazing that I've kept it in my spice rack ever since. Yes, it’s really that good.

This seasoning goes on everything. I’ve used it to season meat, dough, pasta, salad dressings, etc. The list goes on and on. The blend itself is a little Italian, but with a spicy kick to it. It’s simple, easy to make, and truly one of my favorite spice mixes that I’ve come across yet…

Lazy Valentine Cookie Bars

We all reserve the right to be a little lazy every so often, and with a quick trip planned for the weekend (followed by two weeks of self-quarantine) I’m feeling the laze take over. Either way, my daughter asked for some more cookies after all the GIANT Valentine Cookies from last week disappeared. Gee… I wonder how that happened…

Being as I was out of special Valentine sprinkles, and again… I’m being lazy, I thought I’d try my hand at a ‘lazy cookie bar’ recipe that was passed off to me. I did make one small change to lower the calorie count just slightly, but other than that it’s pretty much the same-same…

Instant Pot Ribs

Look, sometimes a girl just needs to eat some BBQ. I’ll be honest, I’ve never actually cooked ribs on my own. I’ve eaten plenty of them. But cooking them? It just sounds scary! Even as a native Texan, the thought of cooking GOOD ribs seems daunting. So when I cam across the idea of cooking them in the pressure cooker? I was sold.

These Instant Pot Ribs are pretty damn good for what they are. No smoking. No marinating. Just rub them down and pop them in the pressure cooker before finishing them off with a quick roast under the broiler. Yep. It’s just that easy…

Giant Valentine Cookies

January 8, 2021 Amanda Plott
giant-valentine-cookies11.jpg

Nothing says ‘I love you’ quite like a GIANT cookie. these big cookies are about 4-5 regular sized cookies in ONE. BIG. COOKIE. And do you want to know a secret? They’re made with HALF the amount of sugar as the originals. That’s right, I was able to shave off half the sugar by making a couple of simple swaps.

The first swap that I made was subbing in a brown sugar/stevia blend for the regular brown sugar. I also swapped half of the original sugar for a granulated stevia. the important part here is the granulated part. While you could use any other natural sweetener that measures cup for cup like sugar, I prefer the granulated one since it doesn’t have the usual fake sweetener taste…
