Skinny Instant Pot Corndogs

May 22, 2021 Amanda Plott

I’ve definitely done some baking in my Instant Pot. Oh, yeah. Did you know that you could bake in a pressure cooker? I didn’t for the longest time, but once I learned that it was a thing, I was in it for the long haul. These Skinny Instant Pot Corndogs are super fast to whip up and only take about 9 minutes in the pressure cooker to… bake!

These fun corndog bites are something kids and adults will both enjoy! Plus, they’re lightened up and just over 100 calories in one. Compare that to other corndogs out there, especially fried ones, and you’ll realize pretty quickly just how light these are…

Air Fryer Cream Cheese Rangoons

May 16, 2021 Amanda Plott

When I decided to make my Egg Roll in a Bowl this week, I thought some cream cheese wontons would be the perfect appetizer to go with it. And since I’ve already done baked ones, why not try them in the air fryer? As it turns out, the air fryer is the perfect way to get some crispy and delicious cream cheese rangoons!

These crunchy cream cheese bits are great for dipping and dunking into your favorite asian inspired sauce alongside your favorite asian inspired meal. They’re quick and easy to make while also being kid-friendly and vegetarian! You could take them a step further and make them vegan too with a tofu cream cheese - which is something I have totally done before…

Vegetarian Cheeseburger Salad

I don’t know. Sometimes you just can’t decide between things. Today I wanted a cheeseburger. Also a salad. Also something meatless. What does that mean? Time for a Vegetarian Cheeseburger Salad! I’ve made a few renditions of a burger bowl/salad before. Some with meat. Some without. This one has to be one of my favorites.

It’s a fun combination of three things that I absolutely adore. Less meat. More veggies. And crazy easy! this dinner takes well under 30 minutes to make and it’s something that everyone at the dinner table is sure to love. Meat-eater or no…

Pizza Monkey Bread

Craving pizza but tired of the same old thing? Try this Pizza Monkey Bread! It’s a fun and easy savory twist on monkey bread that turns pizza into a bite sized dipper that the whole family is sure to love. One of the best parts is that it’s a great way to mix things up on pizza night to have something for everyone without having to make or bake several different kinds of pizza.

I did mine with half having some olives and mushrooms while the other half was chopped up turkey pepperoni and mushroom. So everyone got something they wanted. It’s great for family game night or for kiddos at a sleepover once that becomes a thing again!..

Cheesesteak Macaroni Casserole

April 23, 2021 Amanda Plott

There is only ONE more month of school left here and it is busier than ever! What does that mean? Easy cheesy weeknight meals are where it’s at! That’s where this Cheesesteak Macaroni Casserole comes in. Not only is this casserole easy AND cheesy, it’s also one that you could make ahead of time and then toss in the oven for the final step when it’s time for dinner!

So what makes this casserole ‘cheesesteak’ anyway? Well, that would be the beef, onion, and bell pepper in there. Yep. It’s at simple as that when it comes to this dish. Plus, it’s made with just a handful of ingredients which are mostly household kitchen staples anyway…

Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins

April 9, 2021 Amanda Plott

I don’t know. I felt like I wanted some buffalo chicken potato skins.

Easy to make shredded buffalo chicken that’s stuffed into potato skins and topped off with cheddar and blue cheese. Can’t go wrong there. This is a super simple and versatile dish that could be anything from an appetizer to part of a meal. I should say too that I used the BIGGEST russet potatoes for this that I could find. We’re talking HUGE. So if you are using smaller potatoes, this will give you a lot more skins than what it did me…
