California Cottage Cheese Bowl

June 28, 2023 Amanda Plott

What can I say? When I originally posted this tasty little lunch, I hadn't had cottage cheese in a long time. In fact... I couldn't even remember when the last time was that I had it! These days though? It's a pretty regular fridge staple for me. And it all started right here with this quick and easy recipe!

Cottage cheese had my mind ever since my mom mentioned it a few weeks before when she was trying to think of a way to make the Skinny PB&J Parfait even lighter. We didn't get very far with the notion since... I'm not a huge fan of sweetness with my cottage cheese for whatever reason. I'm still not onboard with that...

Each bite is an explosion of warmth that tingles the taste buds, making it a satisfying treat for spicy food lovers.

There’s a perfectly jammy yolk on the inside while the outside is spicy and full of flavor. They go along well as a snack or even as part of a lunch or dinner; the sauce could easily be added over some rice or quinoa to pair with the eggs themselves…

June 18, 2023 Amanda Plott

I’m all about simplifying recipes without compromising taste. That's why I’m excited to introduce our three-ingredient fruit cocktail cake, a delightful treat that is as delicious as it is effortless to make. By combining a can of fruit cocktail, a box of yellow cake mix, and eggs, you can create a moist and flavorful cake that is perfect for any occasion.

The best part is that this cake is made without any oil or butter added, which means that it’s bit more healthy than it would be otherwise. I decided to go with a bundt pan and to avoid any frosting just because it wasn’t really needed here…

Bacon Apple Cheddar Biscuits

June 15, 2023 Amanda Plott

Homemade biscuits are a classic comfort food that many of us grew up with. I decided to add a twist to them today with bacon, cheese, and some apple too! Nothing beats the warm, flaky goodness that comes from a fresh batch straight out of the oven. Fortunately, making biscuits from scratch is a simple process that can be enjoyed by both novice and experienced bakers alike.

These Bacon Apple Cheddar Biscuits are delicious on their own, but they can also be served with a variety of toppings. Some options include scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, or cooked veggies. Consider serving biscuits with sausage gravy or alongside breakfast foods like scrambled eggs and bacon. I turned mine into a breakfast sandwich!…

Turkey Wrapped BLT

If you're looking for a low-carb and gluten-free lunch option, then you're in for a treat with this turkey wrapped BLT. Instead of using bread, use turkey slices as a wrap for the bacon, lettuce, and tomato filling.

This twist on the classic BLT is not only healthier, but it's also just as satisfying. The savory and salty flavor of turkey pairs perfectly well with the crisp lettuce and juicy tomato, while the smoky bacon adds a rich flavor to the mix. This meal is easy to prepare and make-ahead, which makes it convenient for those who are busy but still want something delicious and nutritious for lunch…
