PB&J Snack Mix

May 25, 2021 Amanda Plott

Summer is coming and it’s always nice to have a snack mix on hand for yourself, others, or the kiddos when you’re out and about. And hopefully we all get to be just a little more out and about this year. This PB&J Snack Mix is a great grab-and-go mix because it’s very summer friendly being as there isn’t much in here that’s prone to the summer heat.

This mix has some good stuff in it that pretty much any PB&J lover will adore. Real strawberries. Peanuts. And a lot in between. This snack mix has just a little bit of everything from salty to sweet and back again along with a variety of textures ranging from soft to crunchy…

May 10, 2021 Amanda Plott

Just a few more weeks and my kiddo will be out for summer. And these last few weeks are always super DUPER busy. In order to avoid skipping out on breakfast in the morning, I like to have a few things on hand that I can grab-and-go eat with no excuses and no guilt. That’s where these Strawberry Pop-Tart Overnight Oats come into play.

Overnight oats are tasty, easy to make, and an excellent thing to meal prep. The oats themselves are left overnight in a mixture of almond milk, greek yogurt, some sweetener, and real-deal cake batter flavor. They’re also stuffed full of strawberry goodness and then topped off with a drizzle of frosting and even rainbow sprinkles!…

And let’s face it, saving time and energy at the end of the school year is VITAL.

This oatmeal cookie has all the goodness of any oatmeal cookie, and none of the guilt. I mean, how can you feel guilty about eating oatmeal and raisins?…

One of the best parts, is that this monkey bread is quick and easy to make and it’s one of those things that both kids AND adults can enjoy. The dough here is tossed in a graham/sweetener mixture and then piled into a bundt pan with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. Perfect for weekend breakfast or brunch!…

Spring Vegetable Crustless Quiche

April 29, 2021 Amanda Plott

I’ve made a lot of crustless quiches in the past, and with Spring in full swing, I decided to make one that used up the bounty of veggies that Spring offers up such as spinach, mushrooms, and asparagus. Unlike some of my other quiches, I wanted this one to be the absolute start of the plate. So, I stuffed it full of veggie goodness, used more eggs, less milk, and ended up with a low calorie, high flavor dish that was perfectly suited to Spring.

I think one of my favorite things about quiche has to be that it can literally be enjoyed as a meal at any time of day; breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner… any and all! When enjoying with breakfast or as brunch, I serve it with fresh fruit. But if it’s al lunch or dinner option, I dress it up with a soup and/or salad!…
