I’ve been in Egg Bite mode for a while now. Can you tell?

Breakfast is honestly my favorite meal of the day, and it probably always has been. That’s because it’s really the only meal of the day that you can experiment with eating sweet or savory. And just like with eating sweet and savory, I also like to experiment with eating less meat and more vegetarian options!

It’s not secret that we eat at least half of our meals in my house as vegetarian. YES, that includes all meals too. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner alike. I know that Vegetarian Chorizo Egg Bites might sound like an oxymoron here, but I promise you these egg bites are delicious and full of chorizo flavor…

Pesto & Sun-Dried Tomato Crustless Quiche

November 25, 2018 Amanda Plott

When in doubt… make a quiche!

This morning I woke up to a rather quiet house after FINALLY managing to get a decent bit of sleep last night. The excitement around the holidays, along with all the coming and going from my house, usually means several restless nights for me. Now with Turkey Day out of the way, I’m ready to get back into a routine for a few weeks.

My fridge once again has space in it and leftovers have all cleared out but now. With a few extra hungry mouths this morning, I started to panic as I rummaged through the pantry, fridge, and freezer for something breakfasty. FAIL. All I had was pieces and parts. Leftover pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, eggs, bacon, cheese… hah! These are the makings for a great quiche!…

Denver Omelette Egg Bites

November 23, 2018 Amanda Plott

It’s been a good long time since I posted an ‘egg bite’ recipe, so I figured it was about due again by now. If you don’t know what egg bites at this point, you definitely should. Egg bites were made rather famous by the coffee giant Starbucks. I’ve made a few different recipe variations.

They’re one of my most favorite breakfast (or brunch) options. Easy to make, delicious, and completely versatile! Today though, I had Denver omelettes on my mind. What’s in a Denver omelette though? Onions, bell peppers, mushrooms and ham…

Club Wrap

November 17, 2018 Amanda Plott

I’m busy. You’re busy. We’re all busy right now! The Holidays are hot on our heels and it’s a mad dash to the finish line by now. With being a bit under the weather for this past week, I’ve been doing my very best (yet still failing more than once) to feed the house. With that being said, I got wise halfway through the week and started to meal-prep most of the meals.

This Club Wrap is one of my current favorite lunches. It’s a quick bite that’s light, full of flavor, and perfect for grab-in-go situations. In all honesty, I based this wrap off of one that my mom and I shared a few weeks ago after a long and exhausting trip to the grocery store…

Baked Spaghetti Squash & Cheese

November 13, 2018 Amanda Plott

It’s time to get cheesy! Cheese is, and always has been, my achilles’ heal. If there was one food that I could never manage to give up for just about any reason, it would be cheese. I even have a collection of recipes that is strictly devoted to cheesy eats and treats. Yep. My love for cheese goes far.

I’ve made healthier versions of actual ‘macaroni’ and cheese before, but I wanted to try something a little different since I had a giant spaghetti squash on hand that needed to be used up! This Baked Spaghetti Squash & Cheese is legit. Just because there’s no noodles in there, doesn’t mean it doesn’t fit the bill…

Skinny Wildberry 'Toaster Strudel' Pie

November 11, 2018 Amanda Plott

This past week I played around a lot in the kitchen and made things fun by turning ‘kid classics’ into sweet treats that kids and adults alike will enjoy. Skinny ‘Homer Simpson’ Donuts to Skinny Strawberry Pop-Tart Cobbler. Another of my favorites from my childhood was Toaster Strudels. And being as I had some phyllo dough in the freezer that needed to be used up, I decided to make a Toaster Strudel Pie.

My favorite flavor of both Pop-Tarts and Toaster Strudel was always ‘wildberry’. Something about the perfect mix of sweet and tang in there. This is obviously not your average pie and it’s surprisingly simple and easy to make with literally a handful of ingredients…
