Jalapeno Cheddar Bacon Cornmeal Waffles

December 7, 2022 Amanda Plott

Coming in HOT today with these Jalapeño Cheddar Bacon Cornmeal Waffles. Get it. Hot. Jalapeños. These waffles are savory and loosely based on the cornmeal ones that I’ve done before, the only difference being that these here are loaded up with 2 cups of goodies! Bacon, jalapeños, and cheddar - oh my!

Since these waffles are savory instead of sweet, they can be for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or even dinner! I decided to have mine for breakfast and paired them with some cooked eggs and plenty of more hot sauce to go along with the spicy syrup…

Air Fryer Grilled Cheese

December 1, 2022 Amanda Plott

After the rush that was last week, I've kept it pretty simple this week. And nothing is more simple than a grilled cheese. This Air Fryer Grilled Cheese takes it a step further, leaving you making the famous American sandwich hands free in the air fryer. The best part is that you get a perfectly crisp toast on the outside and an ooey-gooey melted cheese on the inside. You truly can’t go wrong here.

There isn’t a whole lot here to healthify or make better-for-you while also keeping with the classic. I started this sandwich off with Texas toast, because there’s no other way to have the sandwich if you’re aiming for traditional. But, you could definitely swap the bread out for something whole wheat or sprouted grain. Today though? I want CLASSIC…

Air Fryer Breakfast Egg Rolls

November 28, 2022 Amanda Plott

Who doesn’t like a fun take on breakfast? These Air Fryer Breakfast Egg Rolls are all your favorite parts of breakfast rolled up and air fried to perfection. Bacon, sausage, egg, cheese - like I said, all the things you know and love about breakfast in one bite! I’ve made something similar to these before, but it included some gravy for dipping and I really wanted these to be able to stand alone as well as be more of a grab-and-go thing.

These end up super crispy and actually reheat pretty well if you make them ahead of time. You can just pop them in a toaster oven to reheat and eat. If you have any leftover that is…

Pumpkin Spice Blondies + Maple Bourbon Cream Sauce

November 25, 2022 Amanda Plott

I know it’s after Thanksgiving and ‘pumpkin spice’ season, but look… I just HAD to share this dessert. These Pumpkin Spice Blondies are AMAZE and the cream sauce is something I think I could bathe in. To be completely honest, you should make this dessert at all times of the year. Fall or other wise. It’s great leading into Thanksgiving, but also great to lead the way out too.

So what’s a blondie anyway? It’s basically a vanilla based brownie. This one is loaded up wit pumpkin and spice and everything nice. Including pecans and bourbon. Yep! I’ve managed to sneak some bourbon into the cream sauce and I’m not sorry about it. Not even for a second…

Breakfast Biscuit Cups

November 21, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s all about ease this week as we roll into the first of the major holidays for the season. So, in the midst of my dishwashing being repaired in my very tiny kitchen, I managed to piece together these Breakfast Biscuit Cups because… tummies still need to be fed despite holidays and last minute repair work. Look guys, I’m just really hoping that I have a working dishwasher come Thanksgiving, or we all might just be using paper plates again this year. Yes, again.

So! That tells you just how simple and easy these Breakfast Biscuit Cups are to make. These have all the major breakfast components - biscuit, bacon, egg, and cheese. That’s really all you need to get through the start of your day anyway…

Giant Instant Pot Pancake

November 18, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s been… a week. And I couldn’t be more stoked that it’s Friday. Normally Friday doesn’t mean a whole lot to me since I’m technically ‘always working’, but today means that my kiddo will be out for school for the next week and I can’t wait for the bit of a rest! To celebrate, I decided to try and make something epic. Something BIG.

That’s where this Giant Instant Pot Pancake comes in! This big boy is about an inch and a half tall and nearly takes up an entire dinner plate. That’s how big it is! It’s definitely not meant for just one person, unless you’re spreading it out over a couple of days. And it’s for sure a fork and knife sort of situation here…
