Pecan Upside Down Cake

December 1, 2021 Amanda Plott

This tasty upside down cake has been winterized for your pleasure! That’s right, I’ve taken a classic upside down cake and made it into something that’s more festive to the season with ooey gooey pecan topping! This Pecan Upside Down Cake is super easy to make with most of the ingredients being pantry staples and it’s perfect not only for dessert, but also as a sweet option for breakfast or brunch.

This cake is the perfect mix of a pecan pie and an upside down cake. All of the pecan crunch and goo paired with a simple cake mix. I prefer this to be served warm and straight away with some homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream…

Biscuit & Gravy Waffles

November 22, 2021 Amanda Plott

Waffles, waffles, waffles! These waffles are extra special and made with a quick and easy to make biscuit like batter and then topped off with a homemade sausage gravy that takes no time at all to come together. I saw this idea a while back and once I got my waffle maker, I knew it was going to have to be on my list of things to try out.

The biscuit waffle batter is super simple and made with just a handful of pretty standard ingredients. I went with a self-rising flour just because I happened to have it on hand and I knew that it would help fluff these waffles up in just the right way.

I kept these lightened up by swapping in unsweetened almond milk where I could and also by using a turkey breakfast sausage instead of pork. My waffle maker makes REALLY BIG waffles. About a quarter of one of these waffles could stand to be a serving, but I am completely full and satisfied with half of one of these bad-boys.

These waffles ended up crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside while that sausage gravy on top was perfection to the biscuit and gravy goodness!

Jalapeno Popper Egg Bites (Instant Pot)

November 13, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s been a while since I made some faux sous vide egg bites in the pressure cooker, so I thought this weekend would be the perfect time to make some! Being as I have made so many different kinds before, I thought I’d really step outside the box to make some spicy jalapeño popper egg bites this time instead. After all, there’s nothing like a little spice to kick off your day.

These egg bites aren’t your petite little dainty ones like you buy at that popular coffee chain either. No, no. These are bigger and better. One of them is about the size of two of the ones you can buy. So one batch will be enough for breakfast all week…

Breakfast Stuffed Pumpkin

November 7, 2021 Amanda Plott

Even though Halloween is over, pumpkin season is still upon us. And I love to find creative and fun uses for pumpkins in the kitchen all the way through Thanksgiving. This Breakfast Stuffed Pumpkin would be a super fun and easy way to feed the family around the Holidays, or even as breakfast on Thanksgiving morning!

My local grocery place had pumpkins on sale for just one dollar and fifty cents, so I grabbed up one of the smaller pie pumpkins. They’re small, sweet, and meant to be used for cooking and eating unlike some of their larger cousins…

Monster Cookie Baked Oatmeal

October 31, 2021 Amanda Plott

Out of all the cookies out there, I think that monster cookies are probably my favorite. That’s probably because they have just a little bit of everything that I love. Chocolate, oats, nuts, peanut butter… they’re perfectly balance with a little sweet and a little salty. Since monster cookies already have oats in them, I thought why not put the rest of monster cookie goodness into the oats!

This Monster Cookie Baked Oatmeal is now one of my newest favorite breakfasts. It tastes just like a monster cookie but in the form of oatmeal. And who doesn’t like to find an excuse to have chocolate and candy for breakfast?…

Caramel Apple Monkey Bread

October 19, 2021 Amanda Plott

Was bobbing for apples ever really a thing? I know caramel apples are, but I can’t say that I have ever, or would ever, stick my head in a bucket of water to try and fish out an apple by way of my mouth. So, caramel apples it is! This Caramel Apple Monkey Bread is a great way to sneak some caramel apple into your morning.

A bright crisp green apple that’s baked right into some sugary biscuit goodness and topped off with a quick homemade caramel sauce. It’s sort of perfect for a chilly Fall morning, don’t you think? Plus, there’s no bobbing or water buckets involved so it’s a win-win…
