Tomato Galette

July 12, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s the middle of Summer and tomatoes are a plenty! I got my hands on a WHOLE LOT of home grown tomatoes from family less than a week ago so I decided to use them up in a lot of ways this week. Now, one of my favorite things to do with tomatoes is to make a tomato pie, but today I decided to go a little fancy with this Tomato Galette!

I started this Tomato Galette off with a basic pie crust, it’s one that I had stashed away in the freezer. Then I layered on some herbed goat cheese and caramelized some shallots to go over that. Then it was the tomatoes; my big beefy juicy tomatoes…

Air-Fryer Homemade Pizza Rolls

June 30, 2022 Amanda Plott

Homemade pizza rolls? Uhm, yes please! When I was a kid, one of my favorite things was pizza rolls. I mean, who doesn’t like little popable bites of pizza goodness? With deciding to have a ‘snack’ food dinner this week, I thought I’d try my hand at making some pizza rolls in the air-fryer. Not just any pizza rolls though, homemade ones!

These Air-Fryer Homemade Pizza Rolls are DELISH and even better than their frozen pre-made brethren. And the best part is that you get to decide what goes into them. Today I went with pepperoni and cheese, simple enough, but you could definitely go with sausage, or any other sort of cheese or meat that you like on your pizza. Veggies are another option too!…

Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Pockets

All the breakfast favorites, tucked away inside a pillow pocket of dough. We’re talking bacon, egg, and cheese! These Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Pockets are surprisingly easy to make, and delicious too. Plus, they’re great to have on hand as a grab-and-go option during the week. You know what that means, they reheat really well with a quick pop into the microwave or toaster oven.

You can feel free to make these your own too. Spice them up with some jalapeño. Swap the bacon for breakfast sausage. Or even change up the cheese used for a favorite or just something you have on hand. No matter which way you go, these things are delish!…

Blueberry Waffles

I have pretty much been in love with my waffle maker ever since I got it, if you couldn’t tell. I’ve been making all sorts of waffles. Sweet ones, savory ones, some with mixes, others from scratch. I’ve got to say though that these Blueberry Waffles take the cake. They’re made all in one bowl with very real and very simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand.

As I’ve been going through these different kinds of waffles, I’ve been playing around with different amounts and ingredients. These Blueberry Waffles end up being a bit lighter in both color and texture. And the blueberries in there add some texture and just a bit of chew…

Rainbow Soda Cake

Another continuation of rainbow inspired eats and treats geared towards PRIDE month! This fun and vibrant rainbow cake is made with literally just a handful of ingredients and fairly little hands on time. This cake uses one of the oldest tricks in the book as far as cake mixes go, and that’s simply using sparkling soda with the mix and nothing more!

That’s right. You can make a cake with a box of mix and a can of soda. Pretty impressive, huh? It’s so super easy to do too! Outside of that, you divide the batter and color it accordingly. I went with the rainbow colors of the PRIDE flag, but you can use whatever colors you wish…

Salt & Vinegar Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

It’s almost too hot outside here to grill lately. Almost, but not quite. And being as my kiddo is in love with steak right now, it’s become a part of the weekly rotation. Even if a good steak is on the meal plan each week, I like to keep things fresh and new as far as the sides go. That’s where these Salt & Vinegar Roasted Fingerling Potatoes come in.

I got my hands on some local fingerling potatoes recently, the yellow ones are ‘banana’ fingerlings and then I also got some purple fingerlings. Instead of just the usual oil and salt, I took them a step further this time and pre-cooked them in some vinegar. What’s the point of that, you ask…?…
