Chicken & Cornbread Casserole

May 20, 2020 Amanda Plott

Comfort food has been the name of the game over the past few weeks and months. I’ve been using my oven a lot more than usual. I guess we could all use the comfort of a good home cooked meal during these trying times. And there isn’t much that’s more comforting than a nice warm serving of this Chicken & Cornbread Casserole!

This casserole starts off with a hearty mixture of chicken and vegetables and it then topped off with an easy homemade cornbread. The end result is something similar to a potpie, but with more of a southern twist with the cornbread…

If you’re looking for a pantry proof dinner, look no further! This Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole is a quick, easy to make, delicious dinner that is sure to please the whole family. It’s cooked all in one dish for easy clean up and only uses a handful of ingredients that are pretty versatile to change up if need be.

I kept this rather traditional casserole lightened up by using a greek yogurt in place of sour cream. I also used a reduced sodium soup instead of the plain-sane version. And of course, chicken breast as opposed to dark meat…

Beef Fajita Crustless Quiche

March 24, 2020 Amanda Plott

As of midnight tonight, we here in Austin (and surrounding areas) are on official lock down with a ‘shelter in place’ until April 13th. This comes after being under a quarantine mandate for a week or so as well. Being as times are tough for everyone, I’m trying to be super creative in how I use up leftovers and the few pantry staples that I have been able to get my hands on.

Being as we had beef fajitas a few nights ago, I had some leftover cooked beef and peppers and onions. So I thought I’d use them up in a quiche because when growing up, quiche was one of the few ways that my family would repurpose leftovers. It’s simple, easy, and delicious every time…

Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie

February 8, 2020 Amanda Plott

Being as I’m a Irish girl, leading into the month of March is one of my favorite times of year. The weather usually starts warming up and I get to play around a lot more with Irish staples! Shepherd’s Pie is a staple Irish meal and I’ve made it a few different times in a few different ways. I’ve got to say though… I think this vegetarian one is now probably my favorite version.

That is no lie. This Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie is loaded with flavor and plenty of fresh vegetables. I even used fresh peas! No canned or frozen veggies here. Not today…
