'Tortilla Trend' Omelette

May 13, 2022 Amanda Plott

There’s this trend going around right now called the ‘Tortilla Trend’ where you take a tortilla and cut it halfway through the middle and then proceed to fill each quarter segment of it with different things and then fold it over on itself to make a tasty wrap. I decided to take that idea and make into more of an omelette with some of my favorite breakfast burrito fillings.

This 'Tortilla Trend' Omelette is pretty easy to make though it does take a little bit of know-how and a gentle hand when it comes to the folding it over, but outside of that this is just as easy as any standard omelette to make!…

Beef Stew Casserole

May 10, 2022 Amanda Plott

Like I’ve said, it’s the end of the school year and quick and easy meals are what I’m about. This Beef Stew Casserole is going to be a new family favorite that I think has to go into general rotation. It’s filling and savory and is so easily put together. So what is Beef Stew Casserole anyway? Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like, beef stew in the form of a delicious casserole and doesn’t take hours on hours to make.

Everything you love about beef stew traditionally is here; beef, carrots, potatoes, celery, onion. All the goods. And to make this a casserole, it’s tossed together and baked with some tasty egg noodles! The noodles soak up a lot of the broth goodness as it bakes together and you end up with a delicious pasta dish that the whole family will love…

Easy Key Lime Pie

May 7, 2022 Amanda Plott

Key lime pie is one of my favorites. Not that I’d turn any fruit pie away, but there’s just something about key limes! I love that it’s a creamy textured pie that is cut through with the slightly bitter and bright notes that come along with a key lime. I haven’t made a key lime pie in a good long while, so I thought I’d whip up a super easy from scratch one to be able to enjoy on this very warm Texas weekend.

This Easy Key Lime Pie is made with just a few ingredients - six to be exact! And 5 of those ingredients are pretty standard to most home pantries. The only thing slightly exotic is the key limes themselves! Being as there are so few ingredients, there isn’t a whole lot of swaps you can make to adjust this into a more health conscious pie, but I somehow managed!…

Who’s ready for breakfast? These Sausage Egg & Cheese Stuffed Biscuits are a fun take on a grab-and-go breakfast option that are easy to make, fun to eat, and can be made ahead of time and reheated through the week. That’s right, these are everything you’d find in a good breakfast all stuffed inside a perfectly baked biscuit!

These breakfast biscuits are also made with just a few simple ingredients. Thankfully all of those ingredients were easily swapped for slightly more health conscious options and no one will be the wiser to the lightened up take…

Cookie Monster Cookies

Everything in moderation, right? These cookies are definitely a lot more decadent than I’m used sharing and enjoying, but I love a good big cookie. And I love anything cookie monster-esque. So, when I saw the original idea for these stuffed cookies, I just knew that I was going to have to do something similar and in a little bit more of a lightened up way, at least as much as I could manage anyway.

I did stuff my cookie monster cookies just a little bit differently and made a few sways to healthify them in my own way. These cookies start out with a from scratch blue chocolate chip cookie dough that is then stuffed with regular chocolate chip cookie dough AND an Oreo cookie…

Lightened Up Lazy Enchiladas

April 28, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s definitely that time of year where Summer is lingering on the horizon and we’ve all got to dig deep to try and push forward through the rest of the school year and into Summer break. Most years, I’m not quite ready for the hot 100 degree days and three months of blistering sunshine, but this year I am all in. I. Can’t. Wait. That being said, I still have things to do!

That’s where quick weeknight meals and easy dinner options come into play, like these Lightened Up Lazy Enchiladas! They are so easy to make and delish too. So what’s a lazy enchilada anyway? Well, there’s no tortillas involved. It’s basically a casserole that you make with tortilla chips, sauce, meat, and veggies. No rolling involved….
