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

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…

Strawberry Pop-Tart Overnight Oats

Just a few more weeks and my kiddo will be out for summer. And these last few weeks are always super DUPER busy. In order to avoid skipping out on breakfast in the morning, I like to have a few things on hand that I can grab-and-go eat with no excuses and no guilt. That’s where these Strawberry Pop-Tart Overnight Oats come into play.

Overnight oats are tasty, easy to make, and an excellent thing to meal prep. The oats themselves are left overnight in a mixture of almond milk, greek yogurt, some sweetener, and real-deal cake batter flavor. They’re also stuffed full of strawberry goodness and then topped off with a drizzle of frosting and even rainbow sprinkles!…

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!..

Cookies just don’t get more simple than this. Not only is this Oatmeal Raisin Skillet Cookie baked in a skillet, it’s whipped up all in one bowl. That means a whole lot less dirty dishes to deal with, and a whole lot more time to spend enjoying this delicious cookie. And let’s face it, saving time and energy at the end of the school year is VITAL.

This oatmeal cookie has all the goodness of any oatmeal cookie, and none of the guilt. I mean, how can you feel guilty about eating oatmeal and raisins?…
