Skinny Baked Bacon Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

September 23, 2013 Amanda Plott

This is exactly the sort of fun thing that happens when I cook from my pantry.

I make a set meal plan every week for breakfast, lunch, and dinners. But somehow... by the end of the week, plans have inevitably changed. After a few weeks I end up with a handful of odds and ends from meals that either never happened or were converted into something else for whatever reason.

At any rate, I had a full pound of burger meat in my freezer that needed to have something done with it, and no buns. I also had some egg roll wrappers that I had intended for another use, but somehow managed to remain sitting in my fridge.  I also had two lonely slices of cooked reduced sodium bacon sitting aside as leftovers from breakfast.

What's a girl to do...?...

Red Wine Beef Stew

September 14, 2013 Amanda Plott

When I was growing up, it was all about my mom's infamous beef pot roast. I can't ever recall us having any beef stew though.  When I asked her why she never made it, she said it was 'just something she wasn't too fond of'.

Well, I've managed to change her mind with this recipe. 

My picky brother even gave me a thumbs-up for this stew! And... I think I only got a thumbs-up because he was busy stuffing his face with the other hand...

The Great Steak Marinade

March 27, 2013 Amanda Plott

​Sometimes a girl just wants a nice juicy steak an a big glass of red wine to wash it down.​

Me? I was raised properly.

I grew up in a house where steak sauce didn't exist and anything cooked above medium was nothing less than a sin.

A great steak, cooked properly, needs no smothering or charring. It should be able to stand on it's own. What are you trying to hide?

Marinade is another story...​

Healthified Mexican Pizza

March 20, 2013 Amanda Plott

It's pretty rare that I eat fast food. Really. Three times a year, maybe.

Generally, when I find myself craving the bad stuff... the root of such evil is Taco Bell.​ One of my favorite bad habits is the infamous 'Mexican Pizza', with a whopping 540 calories. Which... if you think about it... that's not too bad for a bite of fast food. There is definitely worse out there.​ But, that bad boy is full of mystery and controversy.

I think I'll make it myself, at home, for half the calories and with ingredients that I have control over.​..

Healthified Reuben Sandwich

February 20, 2013 Amanda Plott

A typical reuben sandwich will run you well over 500 calories (if done properly.) Stuffed full of corned beef, swiss cheese, and sauce... Oh. The. Sauce.

I've lightened this little beast up by subbing in some sliced turkey breast (it's just not a reuben without a little corned beef!), reduced fat swiss cheese, and some lighter dressing...

Skinny Reuben Dip

February 18, 2013 Amanda Plott

A reuben sandwich? In a dip? Sign me up!

I loved the flavors of this spread, and the added crunch of the sauerkraut. I ate way more than my share, and I think my mom did too.
