Breakfast Biscuit Cups

November 21, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s all about ease this week as we roll into the first of the major holidays for the season. So, in the midst of my dishwashing being repaired in my very tiny kitchen, I managed to piece together these Breakfast Biscuit Cups because… tummies still need to be fed despite holidays and last minute repair work. Look guys, I’m just really hoping that I have a working dishwasher come Thanksgiving, or we all might just be using paper plates again this year. Yes, again.

So! That tells you just how simple and easy these Breakfast Biscuit Cups are to make. These have all the major breakfast components - biscuit, bacon, egg, and cheese. That’s really all you need to get through the start of your day anyway…

Giant Instant Pot Pancake

November 18, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s been… a week. And I couldn’t be more stoked that it’s Friday. Normally Friday doesn’t mean a whole lot to me since I’m technically ‘always working’, but today means that my kiddo will be out for school for the next week and I can’t wait for the bit of a rest! To celebrate, I decided to try and make something epic. Something BIG.

That’s where this Giant Instant Pot Pancake comes in! This big boy is about an inch and a half tall and nearly takes up an entire dinner plate. That’s how big it is! It’s definitely not meant for just one person, unless you’re spreading it out over a couple of days. And it’s for sure a fork and knife sort of situation here…

Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Fries

November 12, 2022 Amanda Plott

Sometimes you just need something fun and easy for breakfast. These Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Fries take all the best parts of breakfast and put them together over fries. Think of it like a loaded up pile of hash browns with all the fixins. We’re talking ooey gooey cheesy scrambled eggs topped off with bacon, all atop some hot and crisp waffle fries.

So how is it ‘good for you’? Well, everything in moderation - you know? Sometimes you have give yourself a little bit of wiggle room. One of the things I did though, was to use a low sodium center cut bacon in place of standard. Other than that, the American cheese is surprisingly lower in calorie than a nice slice of cheddar, and it melts better!…

2 Ingredient Peanut Butter & Nutella Cookie Cups

It just doesn’t get any more simple than this when it comes to cookies, folks. These 2 Ingredient Peanut Butter & Nutella Cookie Cups are the easiest cookies I’ve ever put together. And they’re super tasty too! When starting these cookie cups off, I picked up some refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough that was pre-made so that there was less fuss on my end.

After that, they were baked, shaped into cookie cups, and then filled with hazelnut spread. You can eat these warm, or directly out of the fridge for a nice cool sweet bite since they can be stored in the fridge for a few days after being made. They’re a great grab-and-go snack to have on hand…

Breakfast Waffledilla

November 3, 2022 Amanda Plott

Look, I don’t know - I love my waffle maker and I am always trying to come up with new and fun ways to use it that aren’t just standard waffles. This Breakfast Waffledilla is definitely that. It combines all the best parts of a breakfast quesadilla and stuffs it into waffle form. That’s right, this is full of bacon, egg, and cheese goodness and only takes a few minutes of hands on time.

I added some jalapeños to mine, but some fresh pico would be another good addition. There were really only a few things I could do to this to keep it lightened up, and that mostly involved the tortillas. I went with a low carb whole wheat tortilla that’s only 45 calories for one tortilla. I also went with a low sodium center cut bacon, because no one can ever tell the difference!…

Giant Pizza Roll

This Giant Pizza Roll is crazy easy to make and is a super simple way to get creative with your pizza. It’s as simple as rolling out some pizza dough, par baking it, topping it with your favorite pizza toppings and then cutting and rolling it up into a giant pizza roll. It definitely is a fun, new, interesting way to get to nom on some pizza!

Really and truly, it doesn’t get much easier than this. You could go with whatever pizza dough you fancy, but I just grabbed a tube of refrigerated dough to keep it simple today. I also kept it really simple with standard pepperoni and cheese, but you could add your favorites in like sliced olives, mushrooms, or any other pizza toppers…
