Fresh Strawberry Bundt Cake

April 17, 2021 Amanda Plott

This Fresh Strawberry Bundt Cake takes the cake. Seriously! This cake is DELICIOUS if I do say so myself. It is jam packed FULL of yummy strawberry flavor and nothing about it is artificial or out of a box, which makes it EVEN BETTER.

The secret is in the sauce. To start this cake off right, you put a whole pint of strawberries to cook down into an amazing sauce. On top of that, you throw some freeze dried strawberries into the batter and the end result is a perfectly guilt free and AMAZING strawberry cake…

Lemon Poppy Seed Chicken Salad

April 12, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s Spring and for me that means it’s time to play around with all things lemon and poppy seed. This Lemon Poppy Seed Chicken Salad is a fun twist on a classic chicken salad. That’s chicken salad, not chicken in a salad. Most of the time when you think of lemon and poppy seed, you think of sweet treats. But, not today!

This chicken salad is savory through and through. The bright pop of lemon and the bit of crunch from the poppy seeds really makes this a chicken salad to remember. It’s perfect all on its own or used on a sandwich or as part of a Spring inspired green leaf salad. Though I would absolutely stuff this chicken salad into a tomato too!…

Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins

I don’t know. I felt like I wanted some buffalo chicken potato skins.

Easy to make shredded buffalo chicken that’s stuffed into potato skins and topped off with cheddar and blue cheese. Can’t go wrong there. This is a super simple and versatile dish that could be anything from an appetizer to part of a meal. I should say too that I used the BIGGEST russet potatoes for this that I could find. We’re talking HUGE. So if you are using smaller potatoes, this will give you a lot more skins than what it did me…

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

What I ended up getting for Easter was an upset stomach. Boo! Oh, well. As soon as it started to settle, I went straight into chicken noodle soup mode. This Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is exactly what my body needed too. The broth is light and there’s just enough good wholesome chunky bits in there to fill a sore stomach.

For being a homemade soup, this one is super simple to make and it all comes together in one pot for easy clean up. Plus, most of the ingredients here are staple pantry and fridge items that you likely already have on hand!…

Spring Vegetable Lasagna

March 30, 2021 Amanda Plott

In case you haven’t heart yet, it’s Spring! And I’m sticking to Spring themed foods for a good while. This Spring Vegetable Lasagna is a Spring infused lasagna that’s meatless and made with all the best and freshest produce that Spring time has to offer. That includes, zucchini, summer squash, spinach, and of course peas! Yes. There’s peas in this lasagna!

As strange as that may sound, this lasagna turns out bright, vibrant, and absolutely delicious. Plus, you get a whole HUGE piece for under 300 calories. Not too shabby for a lasagna that’s veggieful and cheesy! It’s even more guilt-free with whole wheat lasagna noodles being the basis for this layered beauty…

Blueberry Lemon Monkey Bread

March 27, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s Spring and you know what that means - blueberry lemon things for days! This Blueberry Lemon Monkey Bread is pretty much the perfect Spring breakfast, brunch, or even dessert to make. Monkey bread of any kind has been one of my go-to breakfast options for years now. I think it all started when my little was actually little and monkey bread was one of those things that was easy for little fingers to grab and eat.

This monkey bread here is loaded up with big beautiful fresh blueberries and lemony goodness. It’s bright with the citrus of the lemon zest and has that hint of sweetness from the blueberries. Now, you could top this monkey bread off with some icing drizzle, but I thought it was pretty unneeded. A quick sift of some powdered sugar and some extra lemon zest and it was perfection!…
