Inside-Out Truffalo Breakfast Burrito

January 19, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s going to be a busy day as I prepare for the possible in climate weather that is supposed to be sliding in this evening. So, I went out on my walk and then came in and made myself this Inside-Out Truffalo Breakfast Burrito. I’ve made an inside-out burrito before, but it wasn’t quite like this. What’s truffalo? It’s a delightful mix of truffle and spicy buffalo flavors!

The first time I heard about truffalo was at a chicken wing joint and after that I set out on a mission to find a sauce that was similar - tada! I found it. It’s pretty good too. I took this breakfast burrito a step further though and included a spicy buffalo seasoning AND truffle salt…

Spinach & Ravioli Bake

January 16, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s cold and windy outside and I just want to curl up and be lazy. So, we’re having a super easy and lazy dinner tonight. It really doesn’t get more simple than this Spinach & Ravioli Bake with just 4 ingredients and hardly any hands on time! All you need for this one pan dinner is spaghetti sauce, ravioli, spinach, and cheese.

This recipe is also easily doubled for a larger family or group of people. And guess what? Even when you double it - it’s the same amount of easy peasy cheesy!…

Instant Pot Funfetti Cheesecake

January 13, 2022 Amanda Plott

I’m no stranger to cheesecakes in the instant pot, and so far they’ve all worked out really well. So, I thought I would try my hand at making one of my favorite cheesecakes in the pressure cooker. After all, what’s better than rainbow sprinkles in your cheesecake?

This cheesecake recipe is super simple and is pretty much fool proof too. And trust me, I know cheesecakes can be tricky and finicky at best. But, this one isn’t - I promise! It’s as tasty as it is easy to make too. Plus, did I mention that it’s basically fool proof? A fool proof cheesecake? Yes, please!…

Banana & Blueberry Breakfast Sweet Potato

January 10, 2022 Amanda Plott

I had some sweet potatoes that were in my pantry and leftover from Christmas and pretty much knew right away what I wanted to do with them, breakfast! I know that it sounds a little outside of the box to have sweet potatoes for breakfast, but it’s not all that uncommon. The last time that I made sweet potatoes for breakfast, I stuffed them with bacon and cheese for a savory twist but today we’re going sweet!

These sweet potatoes are baked and then simply stuffed with fresh blueberries, a touch of butter, banana, and honey! I added a touch of bee pollen to mine too for an extra bit of bitter and a little more of a sweet note…

Birthday Cake 'Cake Batter' Waffles

January 7, 2022 Amanda Plott

To say that these waffles were a hit this week would be a vast understatement. I had originally made these waffles some years ago and just this week decided that it was high time to revisit them with my new waffle maker, and I was not disappointed - and neither was my daughter. She’s been a bit of a waffle fiend lately, and being as she’s one of the most picky eaters I’ve ever known, I was a little concerned that she would turn her nose up at these. But, she didn’t!

These waffles turn out light and fluffy and perfectly soft. The batter makes quite a few waffles, even with using a full cup of batter for these with my giant Belgian waffles, I got 7 of these bad boys…

Peanut Butter Cup Snack Mix

January 4, 2022 Amanda Plott

Back to school with the kiddo today after the two weeks off for the holidays. And going back to school always means a tighter schedule so it’s always nice to have snacks on hand. This Peanut Butter Cup Snack Mix is one that the whole family can enjoy. There’s a little bit of sweet and a little bit of salty in there, along with varying textures of soft and crunchy; all things that I love about a good snack mix.

One of my favorite things about this Peanut Butter Cup Snack Mix is that it stays good and is shelf stable for a good long time. It would happily sit on the shelf for a good week or two without changing at all, and maybe for even longer than that…
