Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers

May 1, 2023 Amanda Plott

These Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers are where it’s at! They’re low carb and gluten free while being absolutely delicious and easy to make too. If you love buffalo chicken, then these are the stuffed peppers for you. I served mine with a side of celery and carrots with some light blue cheese dip, but it would also be good with some rice or even a side salad.

I lightened these peppers up by swapping in some greek yogurt and light blue cheese dressing in place of mayo and sour cream. I also used reduced fat cheeses and boneless skinless chicken breast that I cooked up in my instant pot and shredded myself. But, store bought or left over chicken will work too!…

It doesn’t get any more simple than this right here. This Japanese Egg Salad is made with just 4-5 ingredients and takes hardly any time at all to make and the end result is creamy, light, and delicious! So what makes this egg salad Japanese? The secret is in the mayonnaise! This egg salad uses kewpie, which is the Japanese version of mayonnaise. But, don’t worry! You can find it at most grocery stores.

American mayonnaise is made with whole eggs and white vinegar. Kewpie is made with egg yolks and rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Kewpie eggs up being sweeter and has less tang. It’s also a lot richer and creamer too!…

Yep. That’s right, you can make delicious chocolate lava cakes right in your pressure cooker in no time at all. These Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cakes couldn’t be more simple to make with just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes of hands on time you can have dessert ready to impress! What’s better is that these cakes are low carb naturally.

I lightened these up by swapping out ALL of the sugar for a natural sweetener. I went with a stevia that measures cup for cup like sugar, but you could really go with any natural sweeter that measures just the same…

Mediterranean Feta & Lemon Chicken

February 5, 2023 Amanda Plott

This Mediterranean Feta & Lemon Chicken is packed full of flavor and it’s all to do with the lovely marinade that it sits in for just thirty minutes. Only good, clean, and fresh ingredients go into it too. I don’t know about anyone else, but I can’t say no to a good feta cheese dish anyway and this chicken is just about as good as it gets.

Being as the ingredients here are super simple, there isn’t a whole lot to do here to lighten this up other than by using a fat free cheese, which is exactly what i did. I also used boneless skinless chicken breast and it was fantastic…

Happy New Year! We’re kicking 2023 off with a twist on an American staple - pizza! Yes, you can have your pizza and eat it too. This Cheesy Cauliflower Pizza Casserole is the best of both the world of pizza and the world of eating better. It’s cheesy, saucy, easy to make, and delicious too! Another good part is that you don’t need many ingredients to make this casserole either.

You can also customize this casserole to suit your specific pizza tastes. I went with turkey pepperoni since it’s just as good as any pepperoni but has fewer calories, but you could also go with jalapeño, olives, sausage, etc…

Instant Pot Pecan Pie Cheesecake

October 25, 2022 Amanda Plott

With Halloween this week, and Thanksgiving just around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to play around with a new cheesecake recipe. Desserts around the holidays are always a source of debate in our family. What to make, who’s making it, and when to eat it. I’ve got a handful of favorites to serve around Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I also like to come up with new ideas to throw out there. This Instant Pot Pecan Pie Cheesecake is definitely going in as a suggestion.

It’s pretty easy to make, especially for a cheesecake. The instant pot does the most of the work and quickly too. As it turns out, a pressure cooker is a really efficient way to make cheesecakes! This one though, kind of combines a cheesecake with a pecan pie, so it’s basically the best of both worlds…
