Chunky Monkey Amish Oatmeal

May 10, 2019 Amanda Plott

After banana nut on my mind, and a pantry full of leftover oatmeal, I pretty much knew immediately what I was going to be making this week for breakfast. Some sort of… banana nut oatmeal. But! Not just any banana nut oatmeal. I wanted it to be chunky monkey style. What’s chunky monkey? Well, one of my most favorite flavors of ice cream that’s made with bananas, chocolate chunks, and walnuts.

There you have it, chunky monkey oatmeal. Of course, one of my favorite ways to make oatmeal is for it to be baked and ‘Amish’ style. This breakfast oatmeal also happens to be gluten-free (so long as you mind your brand of oats.)…

BLT Breakfast Bowl

April 25, 2019 Amanda Plott

Who doesn’t like a good BLT? Bacon makes just about everything better. Even breakfast! This Breakfast BLT Bowl is one of the quickest, easiest, and most delicious breakfasts that I’ve had in a while. Again, I’ve still got leftover eggs in my fridge (I’m down to just two now!) and I’m finding any excuse and way possible to use them up.

Being as I’m keeping things simple lately in the kitchen, and knowing how basic and easy a BLT is, I thought why not make a BLT into something for breakfast? And why stop there? Let’s turn it into a breakfast bowl at that!

Simple Wasa Cracker Snack

April 23, 2019 Amanda Plott

My fridge, just like most fridges right now, is stocked full of hard boiled bright colored eggs. And no matter how prepared any of us are for it… we always always have leftovers that we just don’t know what to do with. Thankfully, I was hungry this morning and was forced to rummage through the kitchen to put together some sense of a breakfast/brunch/lunch bite for myself.

It’s the day before I go to the grocery store so my pantry and fridge are running on fumes right now. Pickings were slim, but! Somehow I managed. What do you need for this snack? Crackers. Avocado. Tomatoes. Hardboiled egg. That is all…

Banana Nut Granola

April 19, 2019 Amanda Plott

Banana nut bread has to be one of my most favorite things in the world to eat for breakfast. I honestly don’t make it enough, and haven’t made it in a good long while. So, needless to say, I’ve been craving it lately. I thought this time around though, that I would put a little twist on it and turn it into a granola instead!

Cereal has been the name of the breakfast game in my house for a good solid week now. We’re busy eating up a few boxes that were used in that Camp Out Trail Mix last week. Waste not, want not. Right? As we got to the end of the boxes, I knew it was time to make this Banana Nut Granola…

Overnight Blueberry French Toast Bake

March 31, 2019 Amanda Plott

Sundays are for brunching, and this Sunday is no different. With knowing tomorrow is Monday, and that today was going to be a lazy day for the most part, I decided to go ahead and make breakfast yesterday. Well, what does that mean? It means Overnight Blueberry French Toast Bake, that’s what it means!

This Overnight Blueberry French Toast Bake is made ahead of time and sits overnight in the fridge where the big cubes of hearty bread cans oat up eggs, cream cheese, blueberries and the like. Then in the morning, it’s ready to be baked and enjoyed!…

'Everything' Egg Bites

March 7, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s just been an EVERYTHING kind of week so far. You know? Everything Deviled Eggs. Everything Pigs in a Blanket. And now… Everything Egg Bites!

Sort of like with the Everything Deviled Eggs the other day, I added a touch of cream cheese to the egg bites this time to give that subtle taste and richness that one would get with an everything bagel with cream cheese.

I also put some bacon in there because…everything is better with bacon! And there’s just enough ‘Everything’ seasoning in there to give the flavor without overpowering everything else…
