Rainbow Carrot Salad

March 17, 2019 Amanda Plott

Spring is well on the way and when the weather starts to turn warm, I start to crave that bright burst of citrus and salad. Namely lemons and anything cool and crunchy. This Rainbow Carrot Salad is one for the books. It’s light, easy to make, and a perfect little side dish for any good weeknight meal.

This Rainbow Carrot Salad is one that I love to serve along side my Crunchy Garlic Baked Chicken, since both have just a touch of that fun lemon zip. The carrots are a good base for this salad. They’re cool and crunchy while being able to soak up all the other flavors going on here…

Crunchy Garlic Baked Chicken

Everyone needs an easy chicken dinner in their back pocket for those busy weeknights, right? This Crunchy Garlic Baked Chicken was one that I picked up years, and years, and years ago. It’s a simple dish that has stood the test of time. Tried and true all the way through.

If you’ve ever had schnitzel, this is soooort of like that. It’s a thin chicken breast that’s coated in flour, egg, and a breadcrumb mixture before being baked to a perfectly crispy and crunchy bite that couldn’t be any more simple…

Not all Valentine eats have to be treats! These 3 Ingredient Beet Gnocchi are perfectly festive to serve as a Valentine’s Day lunch or dinner. I’ve made gnocchi a handful of times before. In fact, I’ve made THIS very gnocchi before.

The thing I love about this gnocchi is that it’s so easy to make, especially compared to other gnocchi recipes out there. This one takes a whopping 3 whole ingredients and just about 10 minutes of hands on rolling, cutting, preparing.

Bowls are all the rage right now. Breakfast bowls. Lunch Bowls. Dinner bowls. Healthy bowls! Fortunately, this bowl can be either of those. One of the best parts about this bowl though is that it’s super easy to put together. This bowl starts with some cooked quinoa and is layered with greens, avocado, pesto, and of course - an egg!

Everything’s better with an egg on it, right?…

New Year resolutions can be tricky and difficult to stick to. It seems like it’s about this time when we all start to taper off and give in. If you’re anything like me, my New Year resolutions are always centered around food. Food is life, after all. Even being as I’m more of a health conscious person, I always, always, ALWAYS strive to do better and eat better. That’s where these Overnight Oats fit in.

As I said, one of my resolutions this year was to eat more simply. Food can get complicated and I want to take the time to slow down, reel it in, and enjoy food for what it is. Yep! I left my resolution pretty vague and open. That’s one of the tricks to sticking to these resolutions!…

5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Granola

January 11, 2019 Amanda Plott

I’m telling y’all. I’m still working on my breakfast game. Sometimes a girl just wants something savory. And sometimes… it’s the sweets being craved. Today I was craving a little bit of both. Something sweet. Something salty. And definitely something crunchy! That’s where this easy-peasy 5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Granola comes in!

With just 5 ingredients and 5 minutes or hands on time, you too can have this delish granola in your life. And why not? Granola can be expensive and full of things you don’t like, don’t want, and/or don’t care about. Not this granola.
