Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats

September 17, 2019 Amanda Plott

One of my favorite things about summer produce? Zucchini and summer squash is aplenty and HUGE. When I come across the giant squash at the store, it’s pretty hard, and damn near impossible for me to pass them up. That’s why you’ll see ALL the zucchini and squash recipes that you could ever want in the summer season.

As summer comes to a close, and the squash are dwindling, I decided to give another good zucchini inspired recipe. With some cooked chicken on hand, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats!…

Black & Blueberry Smoothie

September 14, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s a short, sweet, and simple one today!

This Black & Blueberry Smoothie is quick and so SO easy to make with just a handful of simple ingredients and a quick whirl around in the blender. This has been one of my go-to breakfasts for about two weeks now. And let me just say, that I’ve never been one to be that big into smoothies before. I’ve always preferred to eat my meals as opposed to drinking them.

But when it comes to this smoothie? I am totally fine with drinking it. In fact, it’s probably one of my all time favorite things for breakfast right now. It fills me up and gives me plenty of energy to get through the day…

Crustless Quiche (Instant Pot)

August 31, 2019 Amanda Plott

So, I’ve had and made my fair share of egg bites in the instant pot, right? That got me to thinking… If I can make egg bites in the instant pot, why can’t I make a quiche in it? Well, as it turns out, you surely can! This quiche is packed with protein and is low in carbs. Plus, it’s keto-friendly and delicious!

This quiche cooks a bit more quickly in the instant pot than it would in the oven. It also comes out with a more ‘fluffy’ texture. Something more akin to an egg bite than a dense quiche…

Skinny Turkey Taco Breakfast Bowl

August 28, 2019 Amanda Plott

Good morning sunshine!

Who wants a breakfast that's full of protein, under 300 calories, and gluten-free? This girl! This lean breakfast bowl is full of flavor, easy to toss together, and can even be made ahead for up to 4 days at a time; saving you time and calories.

I know when I was first introduced to the idea of a breakfast bowl with rice and turkey, I was a little skeptical. I've never had rice for breakfast, unless it was in the form of a 'rice cereal' or sweet 'breakfast rice'. It was a notion that I quickly threw out the window this week...

Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

August 26, 2019 Amanda Plott

Who else sneaks bites of raw cookie dough all the while knowing that you shouldn’t do it? I know that I sure do despite my greatest efforts not to. I’ve made raw edible cookie dough in the past, and it was pretty damn delicious. But, I thought I would take it a step further and make a gluten-free version of it!

Yep, that’s right. This edible cookie dough is not only egg-free, vegan, and vegetarian, but it’s also gluten-free AND dairy-free. Covering all the major bases here while also getting to indulge in some cookie dough. Sounds like a win-win situation, right?…

It’s FriYAY and what does that mean in our house? Pizza day! How does that old jingle go?

Pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, pizza at supper time!

That’s basically the law of the land around here. Even though my little one has pizza for lunch on Friday at school, she comes home and still wants to have pizza for dinner. Who am I to say no? It’s been a long week full of the first few days of school and we’re all pretty much exhausted at this point.

Of course, when we do pizza night at home, I like to stick to the better-for-you options while also loading us all up on our fair share of veggies. That’s where this Simple Italian Salad and Sweet Earth come into play...
