Denver Omelette Egg Bites

November 23, 2018 Amanda Plott

It’s been a good long time since I posted an ‘egg bite’ recipe, so I figured it was about due again by now. If you don’t know what egg bites at this point, you definitely should. Egg bites were made rather famous by the coffee giant Starbucks. I’ve made a few different recipe variations.

They’re one of my most favorite breakfast (or brunch) options. Easy to make, delicious, and completely versatile! Today though, I had Denver omelettes on my mind. What’s in a Denver omelette though? Onions, bell peppers, mushrooms and ham…

Egg Roll Soup

If you like egg rolls, and you like soup, then this is the soup for you! Remember a while back when I made that Egg Roll Bowl? Well, this is sort of a winter-ized take on that. It’s an egg roll that’s been turned into a soup!

Yes, all the flavors and components of a good egg roll are here in this soup; including onions, cabbage, carrots, and meat. Even though I made my last egg roll recipe with chicken, I decided to go with turkey this time around. This was for no other reason than texture. It’s low-carb, gluten-free, and ridiculously easy to make all in one pot…

One-Pot Cheesy Pumpkin & Sausage Soup

November 15, 2018 Amanda Plott

Right now, it’s all about the upcoming holidays and the mad rush and hubbub that surrounds them. There’s probably not any more of a chaotic time of year than there is starting now. Meal planning can be tough at this time of year which is why I like to stick to simple recipes and one-pot dishes. To me, creating one-pot meals during the holiday season feels like a true hack! I almost feel like I’m cheating because it makes clean up so easy.

One-pot means less clean up. One-pot means less hassle. One-pot means more time and sanity saved. And this One-Pot Cheesy Pumpkin & Sausage Soup really hits the spot, too. It is so good it will bring friends and family running to your house and to the table! It’s low-carb, keto-friendly, completely delicious, and as cheesy as soups come. Plus, it’s full of all those glorious fall and winter flavors that we all love and crave at this time of year…

Roasted Tomato Soup

October 15, 2018 Amanda Plott

There is one thing for sure, no one is ever too old to enjoy tomato soup! One of my best memories growing up, had to have been the simple and easy dinner my mom would make on cold Fall or winter days… and that was a grilled cheese and tomato soup. Of course, even though you won’t grow out of tomato soup, your tastes do change. So today, I’ve elevated the classic and my favorite.

I’ve made plenty of tomato soup in the past, but I saw a rather ingenious hack not so long ago about making it by easily and with fresh tomatoes! No other cooking is involved other than that! Roasting the tomatoes also gives a smoky depth of flavor, that you otherwise wouldn’t have too…

The start of school means the end of summer, right? Right?! I have to say, that I have just about reached my limit on the heat over here in Texas right now. And I am more than ready for the cooler days of fall that are headed our way. Hopefully sooner than later. It's 100 degrees + here right now and I just can't anymore.

I'm hoping I'll be setting the tone for fall with this Pumpkin Spice Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders. What? Pumpkin spice and chicken tenders? Yes! I promise you that it's nothing to be scared of. It's a little outside of the box, but amazingly delicious and is so so SO easy to make with just 5 ingredients. I'm serious, y'all. Just count them!…

'Nut & Seed' Grain-Free Pumpkin Spice Granola

August 31, 2018 Amanda Plott

It's been a hot minute since I made up a batch of homemade granola, mostly because it's just been way too hot here to even think about turning the oven on. But, sometimes... it's just worth it. And this morning? It was just that - totally worth it! With pumpkin spice season on the horizon, I thought there was no better time than now to tempt the cooler weather in with another pumpkin inspired treat!

I based this grain-free granola off of one that I made a while back. The main differences would be the spice used in it and the seeds that I chose to include. Since we're going with the Fall theme, I decided to use pumpkin seeds. Two kinds of pumpkin seeds, that is. I picked up a raw one to roast with the granola, and a lightly salted roasted seed called 'snow white' pumpkin seeds to add in at the end…
