Skinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls

March 13, 2020 Amanda Plott

Welp. With my kids school being on extended Spring Break for at least another week, I thought I would spend some time baking. These Skinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls were pretty much at the top of the list to make because… It’s strawberry season and who can say no to a homemade cinnamon roll of any kind?

These Skinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls are scratch made with a lightly sweetened cake and a quick and easy strawberry filling. Over the top is a lightened up cream cheese drizzle that really takes these sweet bites of heaven to the next level…

BAYF (Big as your Face) Breakfast Burrito

March 10, 2020 Amanda Plott

As it states, this is a BIG breakfast burrito. It’s as big as your face! So big in fact, you may just want to share it with someone! This breakfast burrito has all the traditional breakfast burrito favorites like: bacon, eggs, cheese, peppers, and of course even some avocado.

It’s not rolled up in the traditional tortilla though. No, this breakfast burrito is wrapped up in a more health conscious sheet of lavash bread. Less calories, great flavor, and it holds up really well to being used for a wrap!…

Rainbow Unicorn Swiss Roll

I realized that it had been a hot minute since I made any sort of unicorn inspired recipe, so… I had to fix that today. When I said I was going to keep things fun and bright during Spring Break here, I wasn’t kidding! This Rainbow Unicorn Swiss Roll is as delicious as it is pretty.

This is a vanilla based cake that’s colored in the best of ways and rolled up with a lightly sweetened cream cheese filling. It’s great as a sweet breakfast option, brunch, or even as dessert. Really there wouldn’t be any bad time of day to have rainbow amazingness in your life…

Berry & Cream Cheese Danishes

February 24, 2020 Amanda Plott

While I’m not big on sweets anymore, if I’m going to have sweets, I want them in the morning usually. And what’s better as a sweet in the morning than a pastry? And at that… a danish? Mm… I have always had a love for danishes. Something about the mixture of soft flaky pastry dough, cream cheese, and fruit just seems like the perfect combination.

The problem with most danishes out there? Super high in calories and sugar! That’s why I decided to try my hand at making my own. And let me just tell you, these are so crazy simple to make, that they may just become a family staple!…

Air Fryer Fried Pickles

Fried pickles… need I say more? One of my favorite things to enjoy at the local theater is their fried pickles. Nice sized spears that are perfectly crisp on the outside and hot as hell and juice on the inside. Perfect for dipping into some ranch on the side while watching a movie.

I’ve tried my hand at faux fried pickles, by way of baking before. And while they pickles turned out pretty good, they were still missing a bit of that crunch factor. …As most faux fried things tend too. So, now that there’s an air fryer in the house I thought it was the perfect time to air fry some pickles!…

Whole Wheat Bread Machine Breadsticks

February 17, 2020 Amanda Plott

Back when I first got my original bread machine, one of my favorite things to make with it was homemade breadsticks. They always turned out pretty damn great. Light, fluffy, and delicious. Way better than the pre-made dough you can get at the store in a can. Then again, almost anything homemade is better than pre-packaged.

These Whole Wheat Bread Machine Breadsticks are super simple to make and takes very little in the way of ‘hands on’ time. The bread machine does the lot of the work. All you have to do is roll the dough out and bake. Easy enough though, right?…
