BLT Lettuce Wraps

January 16, 2014 Amanda Plott

When I first had the thought to do BLT Lettuce wraps, I was scared that they wouldn't be filling enough or hefty enough to satisfy as a meal. So when I went to work putting these together, I made sure to use some nice big romaine leaves and lots of chunks of tomato as filler.

These were super amazing and oh-so-filling! I even had trouble in getting all three down but they were just so delicious and guilt-free that I felt I owed it to myself and the rest of the world to bully through the last one.

I think the next time that I make these, I'll do two per serving instead and serve along side a bowl of Skinny Tomato Basil Soup!...

'Starbucks' Chicken & Hummus Bistro Box

December 16, 2013 Amanda Plott

I really debated on whether or not I should add 'skinny' into the title here, but decided not to since this recipe actually has more calories in it than the one you will find at Starbucks.

And... let me tell you why.

It has a lot more veggies and a bigger allotment of chicken so that it's more of a meal rather than the snack portion you will get from the popular chain...

Avocado Chicken Salad (Mayo-less)

Oh, avocados... how I love you.

I went the vast majority of my life, up until a few years ago, absolutely hating avocados and anything to do with them. I think it was that child mentality. It's green and slimy and there for must be gross!

I'm not sure what it was. Okay. I do know what it was. Guacamole.

Now I find any excuse I can to use an avocado...

I'm busy getting my body back to health this week after over a month of being sick with one thing after the other. If there's anything that can help give the much needed health boost to my system, it's this salad.

There's so many good things in this salad that I can hardly stand it!...

Pomegranate Avocado

Think avocados are only something to enjoy in the summer? Hah! Think again.

These lovely pomegranate avocados make for a wonderful winter snack or even a perfectly fun and beautifully colored side dish.

That isn't to mention that these are so super easy to pull together and the bright and merry colors are more than impressive!...

Skinny Crustless Quiche

Quiche is another perfect way to use up leftovers since the recipe is just so forgiving.

You can use basically any sort of meat or vegetable that you happen to have on hand. Don't have mushrooms? Swap them out for a cup of cooked meat; bacon, sausage, deli ham, it doesn't really matter! You could even swap them for another veggie, like bell pepper...
