'Everything' Deviled Eggs

March 2, 2019 Amanda Plott

Everything Bagels and the seasoning used on them is ALL the rage right now. So when I got some of the seasoning in my hot little hands this weekend… I knew that I was going to have to make a few fun things with it! These 'Everything' Deviled Eggs were first up on the list.

Deviled eggs are sort of staple in my house. They’re a favorite around here, which of course I don’t mind one bit since they’re pretty damn good for you. Low-carb, low-fat, high protein, and of course… gluten-free! Good stuff all the way around. And when you add ‘Everything’ seasoning into the mix? Well, you just can’t go wrong…

Italian Couscous Salad

February 21, 2019 Amanda Plott

This Italian Couscous Salad is as quick and easy as a ‘pasta’ salad can come. With a few chops here, some dices there, a good hefty few stirs and a little while in the fridge, this salad is ready to go and full of flavor! It’s pretty loaded with fun bits too such as salami, fresh mozzarella, basil, olives, and plenty of Italian veggies.

I’d like to think that it’s sort of a fun twist on Antipasto. It’s light, it’s pasta based, and it’s served cold. While usually it’s as a side, I’ve enjoyed eating this for lunch with a hard-boiled egg on the side. But it would also be great served as a side at dinner. Say… paired with a pesto marinated grilled chicken breast…

Skinny Blueberry Cheesecake Dip

I’s been all about the sweets lately. And this Skinny Blueberry Cheesecake Dip takes the cake. The cheesecake that is. No bake cheesecakes in just about any form are always a hit with me. I think cheesecake in general has to be one of my favorite things.

I mean… who doesn’t like cheesecake? Oh, wait. my daughter doesn’t. What a weirdo. Right? I kid!

Cheesecake can be scary to make. They break, they fall, they’re a hassle. Welp! This cheesecake dip is anything but a hassle…

French Dip Bites + Au Jus

February 4, 2019 Amanda Plott

Sometimes the family just wants something light and snacky for dinner. These French Dip Bites are perfect for being added to any game day or get-together spread. They’re rather quick and easy to make… and that homemade au jus? Mmm… that may just be the best part! It’s delicious and almost fool proof.

Usually au jus can be complicated and time consuming. This one though? Easy breezy with no drippings required. Plus, being as its homemade, you get to decide how to season it! While the bites themselves are delicious the au jus is really the star of the show here…

Skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip

What can I say? I'm a huuuge fan of buffalo flavored anything.

Okay, not anything... but almost!

I think I eat buffalo something for lunch or dinner every week. ...Yeah, that sounds about right.

This skinny buffalo chicken dip is nothing short of amazing. It's super easy and tastes great. Plus, you can cook it up using the crock pot, oven, or even the stove! No one will ever guess that it's lightened up and only about 100 calories per serving.

I found that I didn't have any complaints in serving this with veggies for dipping and I have some picky palates around me!...

3 Ingredient Pimento Cheese Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers

January 28, 2019 Amanda Plott

The BIG football game is upon us THIS weekend, y’all! My family and I are already busy making gamely spread plans. I decided though, that I need to have a practice run this weekend though to test out this new recipe. And it worked out so well that I just HAD to share it right away. I mean… how can you go wrong with a 3 ingredient wonder?

How can you go wrong with stuffed Jalapeños? Or cheese? Or bacon? The simple answer is… you can’t! These Jalapeños aren’t stuffed with any cheese though. Nope! They’re stuffed with none other than pimento cheese. Don’t know what that is? Well, you should! Pimento cheese is a southern staple that’s made with shredded cheese, pimentos, and a few other things. It can be used as a spread on a sandwich or even a dip for crackers…
