Cookie Monster Cookies

May 1, 2022 Amanda Plott

Everything in moderation, right? These cookies are definitely a lot more decadent than I’m used sharing and enjoying, but I love a good big cookie. And I love anything cookie monster-esque. So, when I saw the original idea for these stuffed cookies, I just knew that I was going to have to do something similar and in a little bit more of a lightened up way, at least as much as I could manage anyway.

I did stuff my cookie monster cookies just a little bit differently and made a few sways to healthify them in my own way. These cookies start out with a from scratch blue chocolate chip cookie dough that is then stuffed with regular chocolate chip cookie dough AND an Oreo cookie…

Southwest Cobb Salad in a Jar

April 25, 2022 Amanda Plott

This is one spiced up salad! I’ve created it in such a way that it is perfect for being a jar salad; layered so that it stays fresh for 3-5 days in the fridge and is great to have on hand for a grab-and-go lunch that you can also enjoy on the go or not!

The whole idea for this salad is to layer it in such a way that it can sit stored in the fridge for a few days and is completely ready to eat as soon as you are. Everything is all included, even the dressing. The trick to it is the layering. All the wet stuff on the bottom and the dry stuff on top. Clever, right?…

Overnight Strawberries & Cream French Toast Bake

April 22, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s been a rough week! But, somehow 'I’m pressing on. This Overnight Strawberries & Cream French Toast Bake is not only easy to put together and delicious, but it’s also lightened up and is the perfect make ahead breakfast for a busy weekend. I’ve made a blueberry version of it before, but I decided to change it up a little bit this time and use up these big giant beautiful sweet strawberries that we have popping up ahead of Summer now.

Which let me just say, Summer cannot come quick enough! The strawberry farm that we like to go to is open right now and I think I’m going to have to make a trip out there to pick some of my own strawberries soon. But… back to he french toast bake!…

Lightened-Up Giant Cookie Cake

April 19, 2022 Amanda Plott

Back when I started all this 'Skinny Fork' madness, my kiddo was just a little 3-year-old tot. Now she's at the end of 6th grade. One thing that hasn't changed through the years, has been that I always, every year for her birthday, make some sort of rainbow funfetti style magic treat.

Yep! It's true. I've made birthday cake cinnamon rolls, fairy bites, and cake batter cookies. Just to name a few. This year though? She's all about chocolate chip cookies and cookie cakes. So, when I saw this chocolate chip cookie pizza, I knew I had to healthify that bad boy up as much as I could for the big weekend ahead of us!…

Chili Cheese Cornbread Casserole

April 16, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s no secret that I tend to make up a batch of chili and then store the leftovers in the freezer to be used at another time. Chili is perfect for the purposes of reuse. It’s versatile and goes on anything from hotdogs to enchiladas and so much more. This time around I decided to use it up in a new casserole. One that has both the chili AND the cornbread baked together into a delicious all inclusive dish.

This casserole starts out with a simple cornbread on the bottom that’s pretty much baked through before you pile the chili on top along with cheese and bake it for a little longer. The cornbread soaks up some of the liquid of the chili and gives you this tasty casserole that’s more spoon friendly than anything else…

Banana Nut Waffles

April 7, 2022 Amanda Plott

These Banana Nut Waffles are here to stay. It’s as if banana nut bread and waffles got together and made one ultimate breakfast or brunch bite of awesomeness. And they’re made from scratch (that’s right, no boxed batter here!) It’s good stuff too. That means you get to put what you want and like in there. For instance, I went with chopped pecans AND chopped walnuts.

I like to make a batch of these ahead of time and then keep them on hand through the week to be enjoyed as a quick heat and eat breakfast option. And yes, they do reheat really well via a toaster or toaster oven to get back some of that original crispness!…
