Naked Beef Enchiladas

April 27, 2019 Amanda Plott

This certainly isn’t the first time that I’ve stripped my enchiladas down into their pure and naked forms. The last time I stuck with a veggie and cheese enchilada, but this time I wanted to make one that was more Tex-Mex inspired with a bunch of cheese and ground beef to pair with the staple red enchilada sauce.

Trust me when I say that you won’t miss the tortilla in these enchiladas. They are every bit as tasty and full of Tex-Mex flavor as any other enchilada you’ll come across. Plus, one of my favorite parts about these enchiladas is that you can make them well ahead of time to have prepared and ready to toss in the oven for dinner at a moments notice….

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…

Healthified Taco Salad

April 4, 2019 Amanda Plott

This is a quick and easy salad to toss together for a weeknight meal that everyone in the family can enjoy! Yes, even the little ones. All in all I would say that the meal takes just at 30 minutes to prepare and cook in it's entirety. That's it!

Taco salad is one of those great ways to enjoy all the flavors of a taco without quite so much guilt as you would have if you scarfed down 3-4 regular tacos - shell and all. I've kept this recipe light and yet still very filling and satisfying...

4 Ingredient Veggie Burgers

March 23, 2019 Amanda Plott

Maybe that’s because the one time that I attempted doing it myself, many many years back, it didn’t turn out so wall. Or maybe it’s because most recipes out there have a long list of ingredients and detailed instructions. Not these 4 Ingredient Veggie Burgers!

These 4 Ingredient Veggie Burgers are vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan to boot! Even if that weren’t all enough, they are made with just 4. Count them - 4 ingredients. Most of which I would consider being pantry staples too…
