'Everything' Deviled Eggs

March 2, 2019 Amanda Plott

Everything Bagels and the seasoning used on them is ALL the rage right now. So when I got some of the seasoning in my hot little hands this weekend… I knew that I was going to have to make a few fun things with it! These 'Everything' Deviled Eggs were first up on the list.

Deviled eggs are sort of staple in my house. They’re a favorite around here, which of course I don’t mind one bit since they’re pretty damn good for you. Low-carb, low-fat, high protein, and of course… gluten-free! Good stuff all the way around. And when you add ‘Everything’ seasoning into the mix? Well, you just can’t go wrong…

3 Ingredient Pimento Cheese Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers

January 28, 2019 Amanda Plott

The BIG football game is upon us THIS weekend, y’all! My family and I are already busy making gamely spread plans. I decided though, that I need to have a practice run this weekend though to test out this new recipe. And it worked out so well that I just HAD to share it right away. I mean… how can you go wrong with a 3 ingredient wonder?

How can you go wrong with stuffed Jalapeños? Or cheese? Or bacon? The simple answer is… you can’t! These Jalapeños aren’t stuffed with any cheese though. Nope! They’re stuffed with none other than pimento cheese. Don’t know what that is? Well, you should! Pimento cheese is a southern staple that’s made with shredded cheese, pimentos, and a few other things. It can be used as a spread on a sandwich or even a dip for crackers…

Skinny Mushroom & Asparagus Omelette

January 9, 2019 Amanda Plott

I’ve got to be honest. I’ve been skipping out on breakfast for a while now. With school starting back up after the winter break and a terrible head cold running rampant through the house… There just hasn’t been enough time in the day to fuss with breakfast. And the whole point of breakfast is just that… to break-the-fast of the night of sleeping.

They don’t say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day for no reason. It’s there to start your day off and get you in gear for the rest of the day. Trust me when I say that being ‘hangry’ is a real thing. Finally, I made plans this week to stick to my guns and be SURE that I started my day off right with actually eating breakfast again….

Skinny Jalapeño Popper Deviled Eggs

December 16, 2018 Amanda Plott

Last weekend when my family and I made the 3 hour round-trip out of the way just for a coffee cake, we had the delight of meeting the woman behind said amazing coffee cakes after several years of ordering from her. She was the SWEETEST lady ever and as we were picking up our cakes from her home, she was in the middle of cooking what she called ‘wash day’ dinner.

So what is wash day dinner? Well, it’s a simple old-fashioned southern inspired meal that they used to cook on… you guessed it, wash day! Usually it’s a pot of beans, cornbread, a cobbler, and some deviled eggs. A perfect meal for a cool almost winter day!…

I’ve been in Egg Bite mode for a while now. Can you tell?

Breakfast is honestly my favorite meal of the day, and it probably always has been. That’s because it’s really the only meal of the day that you can experiment with eating sweet or savory. And just like with eating sweet and savory, I also like to experiment with eating less meat and more vegetarian options!

It’s not secret that we eat at least half of our meals in my house as vegetarian. YES, that includes all meals too. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner alike. I know that Vegetarian Chorizo Egg Bites might sound like an oxymoron here, but I promise you these egg bites are delicious and full of chorizo flavor…

Pesto & Sun-Dried Tomato Crustless Quiche

November 25, 2018 Amanda Plott

When in doubt… make a quiche!

This morning I woke up to a rather quiet house after FINALLY managing to get a decent bit of sleep last night. The excitement around the holidays, along with all the coming and going from my house, usually means several restless nights for me. Now with Turkey Day out of the way, I’m ready to get back into a routine for a few weeks.

My fridge once again has space in it and leftovers have all cleared out but now. With a few extra hungry mouths this morning, I started to panic as I rummaged through the pantry, fridge, and freezer for something breakfasty. FAIL. All I had was pieces and parts. Leftover pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, eggs, bacon, cheese… hah! These are the makings for a great quiche!…
