Air Fried Stuffed Mushrooms

January 4, 2023 Amanda Plott

These Air Fried Stuffed Mushrooms are really just another way to cook stuffed mushrooms. I’m just being honest here. It doesn’t change their taste at all, but it DOES change their texture. Usually when I bake my stuffed mushrooms they end up a little bit soggy on the bottom from cooking in their own water as it releasing in the cooking process. These, however, don’t end up that way!

It helped too to top these off with some grated parmesan which gave a little bit of a crunch factor to the tops of these stuffed mushrooms. They’re completely loaded with cheesy goodness too. Cream cheese, cheddar, and of course the parmesan. There’s even some bacon in there for extra yum…

Cheesy Cauliflower Pizza Casserole

January 1, 2023 Amanda Plott

Happy New Year! We’re kicking 2023 off with a twist on an American staple - pizza! Yes, you can have your pizza and eat it too. This Cheesy Cauliflower Pizza Casserole is the best of both the world of pizza and the world of eating better. It’s cheesy, saucy, easy to make, and delicious too! Another good part is that you don’t need many ingredients to make this casserole either.

You can also customize this casserole to suit your specific pizza tastes. I went with turkey pepperoni since it’s just as good as any pepperoni but has fewer calories, but you could also go with jalapeño, olives, sausage, etc…

Air Fried Taco Stuffed Shells

Look, I don’t know. Food is fun and sometimes you just need to play with it. We’re going with Taco Thursday this week instead of Tuesday. So here we have these Air Fried Taco Stuffed Shells which are pretty much exactly what they sound like. Taco meat and cheese stuffed into some pasta shells and then fried for a quick and easy finger-food small bite of taco goodness.

The first thing I did here was to use a lean ground beef, but you can also go with ground turkey or even a vegetarian ground faux meat. I added onion and bell pepper to the meat along with taco seasoning to stretch the meat out and get a bit more bang for my buck here…

English Muffin Loaf

A day late, but we’re going to blame it on the Holiday. Today I have for you, this English Muffin Loaf! It’s an english muffin in the form of a loaf of bread. It’s sliceable and yumable just the same as an english muffin, except you don’t have to tend to it like you would if you were making homemade english muffins.

The loaf is full of nooks and crannies just like a proper english muffin, and I really want to try to cut it in half lengthwise and make some sort of breakfast sandwich on the entire loaf. But, for now all we’re doing is the loaf itself…

PA Dutch Chicken Pot Pie

December 22, 2022 Amanda Plott

So I was talking to a good friend of mine the other day about ‘comfort food’ and they brought up the fact that they grew up with their mom calling chicken and dumplings ‘chicken pot pie’. Fast forward a few days and I came across PA Dutch Chicken Pot Pie - which I thought was funny since my friend who mentioned chicken pot pie is from PA. Of course I immediately sent the recipe to my friend for them to confirm and low and behold it was exactly what his mom used to make.

It sounded pretty tasty and it’s cold out here so I thought I would give it a try and put my healthified spin on it. So that’s exactly what I did!…

Sheet Pan Tomato Soup

December 19, 2022 Amanda Plott

When it’s overcast and chilly outside, one of the first things that I start craving is tomato soup! This Sheet Pan Tomato Soup is about as easy as soup can get to make. You literally put everything on a baking sheet, roast it, and then puree it down into a soup. It’s that easy? Yes. Yes, it is exactly that easy. And on top of that this soup is super low calorie, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and tastes amazing.

With tomato soup being this easy to make, who needs the canned stuff? Not me! What’s better is that this soup is made with literally just a handful of ingredients. Just five main ones and then some seasoning. Tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, and oil. That’s it!…
