For a lot of us, Summer has come (or will come) early this year. Especially if you have kiddos! While Summer is officially a couple of months off still, I thought I’d get things heading in that direction. I mean… it’s already in the high 80’s here on most days. It’s been perfect weather for grilling!

With it being warm out, I wanted to make use of the grill, but also have something nice, cool, and refreshing on the plate. That’s where this Tex-Mex Pico De Gallo Grilled Chicken comes into play. I got my hands on some Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce and knew it would make the perfect marinated for chicken…

Everything Chicken & Green Onion Cream Cheese Sauce

Okay, so I’ve been trying to circulate this Everything Chicken here for a few months now. For whatever reason the day, time, lighting, etc has never lined up to allow me to do so. Today, I set myself a goal specifically to make this chicken and get this recipe in your hot little hands. Finally.

This Everything Chicken & Green Onion Cream Cheese Sauce is to-die-for. It’s one of the most simple chicken recipes to make, looks high end, and tastes absolutely amazing. Everyone who has tried it, has loved it. So much so, that it’s basically in the standard rotation here at my house…

Healthified Restaurant Style Salsa

This is an old one, but a good one. This Blender Salsa is tried and true and was one of the very first recipes that I ever posted here way back in 2013! It’s been a good long time since I made this salsa, and being as I managed to get my hands on a bunch of canned tomatoes… and a lot of us are surviving on pantry staples, I thought there was no better time than now to make this Healthified Restaurant Style Salsa again.

Originally I came up with this Healthified Restaurant Style Salsa for a family member who wanted one similar to what you’ll find at a chain restaurant that’s known for it’s peppery name…

Beef Fajita Crustless Quiche

March 24, 2020 Amanda Plott

As of midnight tonight, we here in Austin (and surrounding areas) are on official lock down with a ‘shelter in place’ until April 13th. This comes after being under a quarantine mandate for a week or so as well. Being as times are tough for everyone, I’m trying to be super creative in how I use up leftovers and the few pantry staples that I have been able to get my hands on.

Being as we had beef fajitas a few nights ago, I had some leftover cooked beef and peppers and onions. So I thought I’d use them up in a quiche because when growing up, quiche was one of the few ways that my family would repurpose leftovers. It’s simple, easy, and delicious every time…

Everything Chicken Salad

March 19, 2020 Amanda Plott

It’s a wide world of crazy out there right now. Things are being shut down left and right and groceries are scarce at this point to say the least. Until things return to normal, I’m doing my part in staying around home and coming up with simple, easy to make recipes that can hopefully be made with just a few staple pantry ingredients that everyone should have on hand.

This Everything Chicken Salad is one such recipe! Chicken salad is pretty much a fail-safe bite that’s full of protein, easy to make, and fairly versatile as it can be used as a dip, spread, or stand-alone. Being as I always always have ‘everything seasoning’ on hand, I thought I could put the two together!…

Instant Pot Ramen Broth

March 15, 2020 Amanda Plott

The world is getting sicker and sicker and the only thing I could think that makes sick people feel better is soup. Not just any soup though. Ramen! I’ll be the first to admit that ramen has been a pantry staple for all of my life. It was an easy thing to make as a youngster. And a cheap thing to make as a college student and young adult.

In the most recent years though, my brother has introduced me to real ramen. You know, real authentic ramen and how it’s supposed to be made. Not the instant packs that we all know and love as a guilty pleasure…
