Strawberry Banana Smoothie

June 17, 2019 Amanda Plott

In the past, I’ve not been a huge fan of drinking my meals. But… over the past year or two it’s become a go-to in a lot of cases. Life continues to get more crazy and busy, and it’s just easier and quicker to down a meal in a few glugs rather than sit and focus and eat. Although the latter is still my preferred method of eating, it’s just not always doable.

Enter this Strawberry Banana Smoothie.

If I’m going to drink my meal, I want it to be made with things I love and taste amazing. So? That’s where the strawberries and banana come in…

Rainbow Unicorn Poptarts

June 12, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s ‘fantasy’ week here in my house as part of our themed summer weeks. And to kick thoughts off, I thought I would start us off with some Rainbow Unicorn Poptarts! These poptarts aren’t your usually run-of-the-mill poptarts. I mean, obviously… look at them!

They sort of give a new meaning to ‘eat the rainbow’, don’t they?

Even though my kid isn’t the biggest fan (at all) of poptarts, I figured with some rainbow inspiration, maybe she would give them another chance, right? Right?!…

2 Ingredient Edible Playdough

June 3, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s summer and my girl and are in the thick of our first themed week! Kids cooking/baking. We’re having a LOT of fun in the kitchen to start the summer off with a bang. When the mini-me is in the kitchen, I like to play around with fun bright colors, and of course, sprinkles too! It’s not always about cooking (on the stove) or baking either.

This morning we decided to try our hand at making some fun EDIBLE playdough. Edible as in - doesn’t taste like salty pizza dough. Edible as in - something kids will enjoy playing with and snick-snacking on. The best part? This edible playdough only requires 2 ingredients (3-4 if you want it pretty and sprinkled up!)…

Skinny Strawberry Bread

May 18, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s STRAWBERRY season! Fresh strawberries are one of my favorites. But, then again, any fresh berry that’s in season will be welcomed with open arms. Even so, with all this big glorious berries around right now, I thought it was high time to put them to use!

This Skinny Strawberry Bread is absolutely LOADED with fresh strawberries to the point that you don’t need any sort of jam or icing on this bread. It’s perfect just the way it is. The bread here is just sweet enough, and with the bright freshness of those strawberries… I’m in heaven right now. THIS is how breakfast should be…

3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cups

May 13, 2019 Amanda Plott

Who knew that making your own homemade peanut butter cups could be so easy?!

Well, I did! I’ve made a few different versions in the past, but none of them were the classic peanut butter and chocolate. Being as I’m still sticking with that whole ‘keep it simple stupid’ mantra right now, I thought it was high time to make my own traditional peanut butter cups.

So what makes these special? Well, they’re made with just 3 ingredients. Yep! JUST three ingredients. All of which I have on hand at all times in my pantry, and you probably do too…

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…
