Rainbow Super Salad with Hummus

June 12, 2014 Amanda Plott

How is it that eating the rainbow always seems to taste sooo amazing? There's something about all those natural bright colors that just set something off inside, making it extremely difficult not to smile when you see all of them together. And when in edible form too? Even better!

After all, who wouldn't want to eat a rainbow?

No big deal. I totally ate a rainbow for lunch.

Sounds pretty epic, right?

Plus, this salad is every bit as tasty as it is nutritious. I'm pretty sure that this is going to be a staple salad in my household throughout the summer months...

Coconut Water & Mixed Berry Popsicles

June 8, 2014 Amanda Plott

It's starting to get really hot here, and I've been busy starting to come up with healthy and refreshing ways to stay cool in the summer heat as it rears it's ugly head. Never mind that I'm dying here already and we have another 10+ degrees to go until we're really in the prime of Texas summer. Ugh.

So uhm... a whole popsicle for 30ish calories? Yes, please!

These popsicles are not only ridiculously healthy, but fresh and completely guilt free. Plus, it's an entirely fun way to eat your fruits...

Stuffed Breakfast Peppers

May 29, 2014 Amanda Plott

I've made Baked Egg and Avocado Bowls before, which are amazing, but I am also a fan of stuffed peppers. So, I figured... why not use the same idea and stuff peppers as a healthy low cab breakfast option? Of course!

These peppers are super easy to toss together and taste great. I was a little surprised with how filling and satisfying these were. I'm generally a carbivore in the morning.

Yes. That's right. A carbivore.

You know, similar to a carnivore... but with carbs rather than meat.

Shameful, I know. But... at least I'm honest!...

Cheeseburger Stuffed Zucchini Boats

May 24, 2014 Amanda Plott

I can has cheezburger? Without feeling guilty?! Yes, indeed! We all can.

These stuffed zucchini boats are a perfectly clever way to have a bun-less burger that I find to be a lot more filling and easy to eat than wrapping a patty in a mere lettuce leaf. You get all the satisfaction and flavors of a traditional cheeseburger packaged neatly into a zucchini squash.

Trust me when I say - you won't miss the bun at all!...

Strawberry Caprese Salad

May 20, 2014 Amanda Plott

Sometimes, you just have to step outside the box for a moment to find something truly amazing.

I have always loved caprese salads, and I have also always loved the combination of strawberries and balsamic vinegar... So, why not put the two together? While the pairing might seem a little odd to some, I promise this is sure to surprise and de{light}!

There's just something about the mixture of sweet juicy strawberries and the twang of balsamic vinegar that goes so perfectly together. I guess you could say, it's sort of a play on the whole 'sweet and sour' thing...

Skinny Greek Chicken Kabobs

May 15, 2014 Amanda Plott

I love greek food, and I don't cook it often enough. I'm not sure why either. Just another of those things that escapes me in the kitchen for one reason or another.

Lately I've been in the mood to go back and make my Skinny Greek Feta Dip again. Because... let's face it. Who doesn't love to have an excuse to eat feta? I managed to find my excuse with these perfectly de{light}ful kabobs...
