Naked California Club 'Sandwich'

April 17, 2018 Amanda Plott

A good long while back I was introduced to the 'Unwich' which is a sandwich... minus the bread and wrapped up in lettuce instead; keeping it a handheld portable sandwich style meal without the most of the carbs or the guilt. That's right, we're stripping the sandwich down to the nitty-gritty and I promise you'll thank me later for it.

One of my all-time favorite sandwiches is and always will be a club sandwich. So, that's my go-to for this naked unwich today. Who needs the bread anyway? I'm getting to keep all my favorite parts; bacon, turkey, cheese, and even avocado!...

Portobello Pizzas

April 4, 2018 Amanda Plott

We are a houseful of pizza fiends, y'all. I'm pretty sure that we collectively eat pizza in some form or another at least once a week. My almost 8 year old nearly demands it. Pizza has always and will always be a part of our regular rotation here. So, sometimes I have to get pretty creative when it comes to my pizza.

What can I say? I just don't need all those carbs at this point in my life. My body is craving veggies. All the veggies too. This time around, I decided to try my hand at a portobello crusted pizza. And I must say... I was not at all disappointed!...

Low-Carb Broccoli Cheese Dip (Slow Cooker)

March 26, 2018 Amanda Plott

Everyone should know by now that I am a cheese freak. A cheeseoholic. A cheese master. ...I guess one could even say that I'm a bit... cheesy. Buh-dum-psssh. Queso is usually my go-to cheesy wonder of amazingness, but I thought today I would change it up a bit and go with something a bit more traditional and Americanized.

What's more American than broccoli and cheese? Besides Apple Pie or Baseball. Neither of which would make for a very good cheese dip...

She shoots... she scores! Annnd the crowd goes wild!

These Skinny BBQ Beef & Cheddar Bites are a slam dunk! As a Texan, I'm a girl that knows her way around both game-day and BBQ. So, when I'm trying to get into the spirit and prepare for the big tournament, I more often than not combine the two into one perfectly popable bite!

I know that with planning on watching a game with friends and family, it's best to make snacks that are quick, easy, and mostly hands off. That's why I love to use my electric pressure cooker and a few other kitchen hacks along the way...

Guinness Meatballs (Instant Pot)

March 18, 2018 Amanda Plott

Happy belated St. Patrick's Day, y'all! Of course, I couldn't leave you all weekend without getting these Guinness Meatballs out here for everyone to enjoy. And now... what's a girl supposed to do with leftover beer? Especially an Irish Stout?

Well, if you're looking for a last minute end of the weekend St. Patty's Day meal (or appetizer), or just have some leftover Guinness on hand, then this is for you! These Guinness Meatballs couldn't be any quicker or easy to make; merely mix, roll, and toss them into a pressure cooker with that Healthified Guinness BBQ Sauce for a few minutes and BOOM you're done...

Roasted Beet Hummus

There isn't much that's prettier than this hummus right here. I mean... look at it. It's perfectly gorgeous. Roasted beets make for the beautiful fuschia pink hue in this hummus that is sure stand out any time of year but especially around Valentine's Day.

Hummus is super easy to make, and it will save you a ton of money to make yourself too! Plus, you have complete control over what goes into it. And let's face it... It's just fun to eat pretty stuff. You eat with your eyes first...
