Roasted Cauliflower Bacon & 3 Cheese Omelettata

January 10, 2018 Amanda Plott

Somehow last night ended up being an impromptu wine and cheese night. I think it's because I needed a good excuse to crack open a nice bottle of red. Long story short, I woke up this morning to a fridge stocked with leftover cheeses. With having 'sweet' for breakfast for a few days now, I decided it was time to switch it up and make a nice savory bite for myself.

Since I also had some homemade pesto leftover, I thought the cheese and the pesto would be a great pair to make an Omelettata with. And Omelettata? Well, it's not quite an omelet and not quite a frittata. It's somewhere in the blissful middle of the two...

Vanilla Blueberry Coconut Nut & Seed Granola

January 6, 2018 Amanda Plott

So since even just before New Year's, I've been trying to eat a whole lot more nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables. With my last 'Nut & Seed' grain-free granola getting eaten up readily, I decided that it was time to make a new version of it.

One thing that I didn't get to use last time in my granola, that I really wanted to be sure about using this time is coconut chips. While I'm not a coconut fan by any means, coconut chips are definitely one of my favorite additions to salad and/or granola. Without wanting to go too tropical with the coconut, I decided on vanilla and blueberries!...

It's the new year and we're all making strides towards our health goals right now. Hooray! This year, along with still eating a bit less meat, I'm also lowering my carb intake. While I've got no plans to be plant-based entirely, I always figure the more plants in my life, the better.

This Bunless Breakfast Sandwich really hits the spot. It's cheesy and rich and full of flavor. It satisfies any craving you might have for the real deal while being surprisingly guilt-free. What's even more impressive is that this bunless wonder is also... wait for it... meatless. *GASP* And and and, it's loaded with plant-based protein! Plus, it's quick and easy to make for a grab-and-go breakfast bite that will help me and my family in our healthier lifestyle journey this year...

Low-Carb Breakfast Mexican Pizza

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mission®. All opinions are entirely my own.

Now that the New Year is here, it's time to start thinking about those resolutions! I know that my mom and I have already started ours, and are going on a more low-carb and keto friendly route for the next month (and perhaps beyond).

With a big resolution, you can still have bold flavor. So, we've been working on coming up with fun and clever meal options that meet our new low-carb wants and needs. That's when I decided to bring out this Low-Carb Breakfast Mexican Pizza. Yeah, you know the Mexican pizza that this idea stems from. But, this one is a breakfast version and it's so sooo good...

Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake

Can you believe that Christmas is almost here? And then after that, we're bringing in the New Year already? This year has flown by at times and at others has dragged along. It's been an interesting year here for me, and just like always, I'm happy and excited to see what the New Year brings.

Speaking of the New Year, that brings me straight around to resolutions! I can't say that I really make a staunch resolution, but I do like to challenge myself starting January 1st of every year to start eating even better. I know, that must sound like a strange thing for me to say, but even I could stand to eat better...

Baked Eggs in a Zucchini Nest

December 12, 2017 Amanda Plott

Wakey-wakey eggs and bakey! This mornings breakfast is brought to you by, leftovers! Okay, maybe not exactly leftovers but an accumulation of things that I indeed had leftover in my fridge that went unused through the week in some way shape or form.

For instance, the original plan for the spiralized zucchini was for zoodles in a vegan Pho. The same goes for the mushrooms. I'm not entirely sure why the tomatoes were untouched, but somehow everything always works out in the end. Just like these Baked Eggs in a Zucchini Nest!...
