Hummingbird Bread

January 18, 2021 Amanda Plott

Since getting my knew kitchen appliances this past year, and with the weather being rather nice right now (as most winters are in Texas) I’ve spent my fair share of time recently with baking! Baking always used to intimidate me, but it’s become less and less of a fear as I’ve made my mistakes and learned from them as best I could.

This Hummingbird Bread is a delicious take on a Hummingbird Cake, but I’ve left off any sort of cream cheese frosting because… well, I just didn’t find it needed. This bread is perfectly sweet all on it’s own and it’s loaded with plenty of fruits; coconut, pineapple, and even banana!…

Vegetarian Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole

January 6, 2021 Amanda Plott

As is with most New Years, I don’t tend to change my diet up a whole hell of a lot. Though one thing that I do try and do is eat less meat. Especially less red meat. Thankfully these days there are a lot of meatless and meat free options out there. Even when it comes to sausage! That’s why I was able to make this casserole vegetarian with one simple swap.

This Vegetarian Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole is an absolutely delicious way to serve biscuits and gravy, or even have it on hand as a meal prep for breakfast through the week. (Which is what I did!) Really you could use any sausage you want, vegetarian or otherwise…

Orange Bundt Cake

Usually towards the middle of winter is when I start to crave all the bright citrus stuff. Grapefruits, oranges, and lemons - oh my! And this Orange Bundt Cake takes the cake. The bundt cake that is. With a light dusting of powdered sugar on top, this cake is perfectly light, sweet, and delicious.

This cake would be perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a dessert option. And with it being divided into 12 servings, it’s enough to serve a crowd, or have plenty on hand for meals through the week. With just enough sweetness and flecks of orange, this really is a very versatile cake…

Instant Pot Breakfast Casserole

Breakfast casseroles are one of the best ways to feed a group of people (large or small) with little effort. And this Instant Pot Breakfast Casserole is probably one of the most easy and quick ways to get breakfast (or brunch) done in a hurry. Whether its for a special occasion or just a weekend morning, this Instant Pot Breakfast Casserole is here to save the day. and your sanity.

I kept this casserole pretty basic with the usual savory breakfast bits that everyone knows and loves. Bacon. Eggs. Cheese. A plethora of veggies. And YES even hash browns…

Biscuits & Gravy Monkey Bread

December 7, 2020 Amanda Plott

This is monkey bread like no other. Unlike most monkey bread, this one is a savory option that combines the deliciousness of biscuits and gravy with the convenience of monkey bread! It takes no time at all to toss together, is super easy to make, and is great for feeding the family breakfast or brunch on the weekend.

Just as is traditional with monkey bread, this one starts out with biscuit dough, layers in cooked sausage and some shredded cheese, then more biscuit dough. It’s all topped off with a homemade easy to do sausage gravy; baking up to perfection in less than an hour!…

Gingerbread Cobbler

December 5, 2020 Amanda Plott

Sometimes you just have to shake dessert up. This holiday season would be the great time to start a new tradition. Instead of the usual pies and cookies, why not try out this Gingerbread Cobbler! This Gingerbread Cobbler is very similar to my Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cobbler, but more in line with Christmas or New Years than Thanksgiving!

Cobbler just seems like the perfect winter dessert. It’s warm, gooey, and filling too. My mom seems to think that this cobbler is like those old fashioned pudding cakes where you layer the batter on the bottom of the pan and pour hot liquid on top to bake. While baking, the cake bubbles up to the top and the gooey pudding cobbler goodness is on the bottom…
