Apple Pie Monkey Bread

November 1, 2020 Amanda Plott

Ever use want a piece of pie for breakfast? Now you can have it! This Apple Pie Monkey Bread is a winning combination of the flavors of apple pie and the ease of monkey bread. If you haven’t had monkey bread before, it’s basically a fun way to have a pull-apart breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

You can make it all sorts of fun ways. I’ve made everything from Pumpkin Spice to a savory Bacon, Egg & Cheese version! I decided to go with an apple pie theme this time since apple pie can be a Fall favorite, or even a year round treat. I mean, do you really need an excuse to have apple pie?…

Skinny Cranberry Cherry Cinnamon Rolls

There’s nothing quite like waking to homemade cinnamon rolls. They’re truly one of my favorite breakfast items. Soft, fluffy, sweet, and once you get the hang of it - they’re fairly simple to make too! These Skinny Cranberry Cherry Cinnamon Rolls really take the cake, especially around Fall and Winter when cranberries are all the rage.

I based these sweet rolls off of my fave holiday pie, which happens to be a Cranberry Cherry Pie. The mix of cranberries and cherries is hard to beat. It’s sweet with the cherries and also has some tang to it with the natural tartness of cranberries being added…

Sweet Potato Biscuits

Who says Fall has to be all about pumpkins anyway? Sweet potatoes deserve some love too! These Sweet Potato Biscuits are easy to make and just about as delicious as biscuits can get. They’re fluffy and light and the perfect addition to any Fall inspired meal, be it breakfast, brunch, or dinner! I topped mine with some apple butter and served them with fresh berries as breakfast, but they would be damn good with some gravy or served alongside a pot roast.

These biscuits would be super easy to make vegan too! How? Just sub in some vegan butter for the regular butter and bing-bang-boom, you’ve got vegan biscuits!…

'Brain' Deviled Eggs

These deviled eggs are all dressed up for Halloween and ready to go with some pink hue to the filling and a fun little design on top that makes them look like mini brain bites. They’re lightened up, keto friendly, low carb, vegetarian, and gluten-free too! Which makes them even more fun for your Halloween eats and treats this year.

I finished them off with a light dusting of paprika to give just a little more of that creepy 'Halloween ‘brain’ feel. Other than that, these are very standard deviled eggs. Just, you know, guilt-free!…

Pumpkin Oat Muffins

These Pumpkin Oat Muffins will blow your mind! there’s no flour used in these muffins. Meaning if you buy gluten-free oats, that makes these muffins gluten-free on top of already being vegetarian and dairy-free! One of the best parts is that these muffins are so easy to make.

A quick whir around a blender with the oats and a mix with wet ingredients and you’ve got yourself an easy peasy muffin batter! I topped these off with a touch of raw sugar to give a little added sweetness, but honestly these muffins are pretty stand alone…

Dairy-Free 'Brain' Cheese Ball

October 6, 2020 Amanda Plott

Halloween is coming! And I couldn’t be more excited. For a long time now, Halloween has been my most favorite holiday, but I’m having to make a few changes to my usual routine lately since we’ve got a sensitive stomach in the house. I bought a plastic brain mold at the end of last year with the intentions of using it for a few things. A brain cheese ball was at the top of the list!

With dairy-free being the name of the game, I set out to find a way to make a cheese ball dairy-free. And you know what? It’s way easier than you might think. There are a lot of options out there for dairy-free alternatives. All the way from milk, to cheese, and even cream cheese…
