Rice Paper Veggie Pancakes

January 6, 2026 Amanda Plott

Who says pancakes have to be sweet and sleepy? Meet Rice Paper Veggie Pancakes: crisp, light, wildly delicious, and filled with a colorful jumble of veggies. They’re the kind of snack that makes your lunchbox feel cheeky and your body quietly grateful. Gluten-free? Yes. Grain-free? Sometimes. Guilt-free? Absolutely. Delicious? Duh.

Why rice paper? Rice paper wrappers (the kind used for summer rolls) are thin, crisp up beautifully in a skillet, and provide a neutral canvas for bold fillings. Unlike batter-based pancakes, these are mostly veg with just a smidge of binder so the focus stays on texture — crunchy edges, tender centers, and an almost sneaky amount of satisfaction…

December 30, 2025 Amanda Plott

If you’ve spent even five minutes on social media in the last few years, you’ve likely encountered the “girl dinner” — a delightfully chaotic, no-rules meal built from snacks, fridge finds, and whatever satisfied contemporary cravings. It’s casual, creative, and unapologetically joyful. Now imagine capturing that energy in a grazing board: an easy, customizable platter you can assemble in minutes that looks gorgeous, eats even better, and stays true to The Skinny Fork promise — tasty with a health-conscious twist…

If peanut butter and honey had a cultured, slightly nutty cousin who wore a beret and always brought snacks to the party, it would be tahini honey butter. This spread takes the silky, sesame-forward richness of tahini, softens it with butter, and brightens it with honey — creating something that’s creamy, slightly savory, and perfectly sweet. It’s comfort food with a grown-up twist, and it plays well with everything from toast to roast vegetables. Welcome to the simplest upgrade your pantry has seen all year…

Think meaty mushrooms, crisp greens, toasted walnuts for that addictive snap, and a vinaigrette with just enough truffle personality to steal the show…

There’s a reason bread and oil have been flirting across tables and tapas plates for centuries: when done right, a drizzle of good oil and the right seasonings turns a humble chunk of bread into pure comfort. Italian bread dipping oil is the fastest route from “just bread” to “this is therapy.”

It’s simple, customizable, and — good news for the health-conscious — totally compatible with clean-eating goals when you choose the right ingredients. Here’s how to make a standout dipping oil and why it deserves a spot on your appetizer rotation…

Cottage Cheese BLT Bowl

November 29, 2025 Amanda Plott

Who says you can’t have your BLT and eat it too—healthier, that is? If you’re a fan of the classic Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato sandwich but want to skip the bread and load up on protein instead, the Cottage Cheese BLT Bowl is your new best friend. This dish takes all the tasty goodness of a BLT and flips it into a bowl that’s packed with fresh tomatoes, crispy bacon, and creamy cottage cheese, making it a perfect guilt-free meal anytime.

What Makes This Bowl So Good?

You’ve got a bright, satisfying dish that feels indulgent but fuels your body right…
