Western Omelette Crustless Quiche

December 28, 2018 Amanda Plott

Now that the holidays are coming to a close for the year, I know that we’ve all got our fair share of leftover turkey and/or ham in our freezers. This is one of my FAVORITE times of year for this VERY reason. And considering there was a little bit of a communication failure over Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner, I’ve ended up with a BUNCH of leftovers.

You don’t see me complaining about that though. I love to make leftover rewind recipes, especially with leftover holiday meats. They always make for a super favorable, easy, and amazing second recipe. So what’s the first thing that comes to mind with leftovers? Casseroles? Soups? For me, it’s quiche!…

Skinny Hot Cocoa Cookies

Cookies are in season right now, and these Skinny Hot Cocoa Cookies are where it’s at! Their a cocoa flavored chocolate cookie base that’s loaded up with plenty of white chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, and YES even marshmallows. It’s basically like eating a mug of hot cocoa… if you eat them warm and fresh out of the oven especially!

Even with the naughty bits that are in here, these cookies are sill just over 100 calories each. And what’s better, is that they are actually pretty easy to make! Sometimes cookies can be overly complicated and involved. Not these baddies…

Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Monkey Bread

December 18, 2018 Amanda Plott

Alright, alright… so… monkey bread has been an obsession of mine lately. I admit it! I can’t help it. There’s just something about that warm fluffy bread that’s baked together with a bunch of ‘naughty’ bits. Of course, this monkey bread is a bit different. It’s savory instead of sweet. Bacon, egg, and cheese… to be sure!

That’s right. Monkey bread that has bacon, eggs, and cheese baked RIGHT into it! This fun little breakfast bite is perfect for a crowd or a brunch time spread. Mostly because… who doesn’t love bacon and eggs?!…

Skinny Jalapeño Popper Deviled Eggs

December 16, 2018 Amanda Plott

Last weekend when my family and I made the 3 hour round-trip out of the way just for a coffee cake, we had the delight of meeting the woman behind said amazing coffee cakes after several years of ordering from her. She was the SWEETEST lady ever and as we were picking up our cakes from her home, she was in the middle of cooking what she called ‘wash day’ dinner.

So what is wash day dinner? Well, it’s a simple old-fashioned southern inspired meal that they used to cook on… you guessed it, wash day! Usually it’s a pot of beans, cornbread, a cobbler, and some deviled eggs. A perfect meal for a cool almost winter day!…

Eggnog Bread Breakfast Sandwich

December 14, 2018 Amanda Plott

This past week, I got my hands on some delicious ‘tipsy’ cranberry jam that is made here locally. And since I already had some egg nog bread sitting on my counter ready to go, I thought I should find some clever way to put the two together!

While this sandwich isn’t exactly conventional, it takes a page out of that ‘mcgriddle’ play book. Putting the two powerhouses of sweet and savory into each and every bite. The sweet being the egg nog bread and the jam and the savory being the bacon and the egg with cheese…

Skinny Eggnog Bread

December 12, 2018 Amanda Plott

It’s been a while since I made some homemade bread. And being that it’s baking season, I thought it was high time to made another loaf! I’ve been without my hand dandy bread machine for a long time, so that means that any bread requiring yeast is pretty much out of the question. Yeast, outside of a bread machine use, scares me!

Don’t worry though! If yeast breads intimidate you too, then this Skinny Eggnog Bread is a perfect yeast-free option that is easy to toss together, and requires no kneading and very little hands-on time…
