Skinny Cranberry Cherry Cobbler

November 24, 2019 Amanda Plott

If you’re looking for a slightly more out of the box dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas, look no further! This Skinny Cranberry Cherry Cobbler is a mix of my favorite cobbler recipe and my 5 Ingredient Skinny Cranberry Cherry Pie.

Even for being made with cherries and fresh cranberries, this cobbler is surprisingly simple and easy to put together. While it may have a few more ingredients than the pie, you don’t have to fuss with the crust! Just as with most cobblers, this one is made with the batter on the bottom of the dish and a hot fruit filling spread over the top…

Roasted Red Bell Pepper & Tomato Soup

November 22, 2019 Amanda Plott

During the colder end of Fall and on into Winter months, I like to stick to comfort food classics. And there isn’t much that’s more of a comfort food or a classic than a nice warm bowl of homemade tomato soup. I’ve made a lot of tomato soup in my past, and for this Roasted Red Bell Pepper & Tomato Soup I used one of my favorite recipes and changed it up just a bit.

With at least one person in my house trying to avoid onions, I decided today to swap the onion in my original recipe for some red bell pepper. The end result was this delicious, hearty, Roasted Red Bell Pepper & Tomato Soup…

Some mornings just require a simple sort of breakfast. And as the first round of Holiday shenanigans starts next week, I thought there was no time like the present to get a nice, easy to make, healthy and festive breakfast on the menu.

Cranberry and orange are the perfect pairing, especially when it comes to the winter Holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. That’s why I decided to use those flavors in this oatmeal for a perfect breakfast bite with enough made for the whole family…

Skinny Truffle Deviled Eggs

November 16, 2019 Amanda Plott

With the Holidays coming up quickly, I like to get a few fun appetizers in mind ahead of time. Deviled eggs are one of my staple snacks just because most people enjoy them, they're quick and easy to make, and they can be pretty impressive when you put a twist on the very classic and simple egg.

I’ve made a lot of deviled eggs in the past. Everything eggs, bacon & cheddar eggs, bloody mary eggs, jalapeño popper eggs, and even buffalo deviled eggs! Today I wanted to keep things simple with these deviled eggs while also elevating them, and truffle seemed like the best way to do that!…

Are you getting tired of the same ol’ - same ol’ when it comes to the dessert options around the holidays? Shake things up this year and try out this delicious Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cobbler! If a pumpkin pie and a cobbler had a love child, this cobbler would be it!

This delicious wonder of a dessert makes it’s own gooey pumpkin caramel sauce while a spiced up cake forms on top to make one hell of a Fall inspired cobbler, if I do say so myself. Lightened up and made just a little better-for-you with just a few simple swaps…

Taco Salad Splits

November 12, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s cold outside! It’s so cold and frosty that school was delayed, and while it’s cold and not much else to do, my creative juices always kick into high gear. Today I decided to make some cute Taco Salad Splits with the bonus time that I had gifted to me by the weather.

So what’s a Taco Salad Split? Well, it’s a taco take on a banana split. Don’t worry, I’m not making tacos with bananas. But I am making these taco salads LOOK like banana splits.

This is probably the cutest way possible to make and eat your taco salad by the way…
