Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

March 5, 2018 Amanda Plott

With the schedule around my house changing up a bit recently, I've had to make some adjustments to when and how I cook. So, I've been cooking a lot less and mostly just for myself since my little one is still a rather picky eater and lately dinner time is our mommy-daughter time.

That being said, dinner time for me has included quicker, easier dishes that are either meal prepped or a one and done toss together sort of salad. Most recently I've had a stockpile of leftover feta in my fridge that needed to be used up, which for me always means it's time for a Greek/Mediterranean style salad!...

Low-Carb Chicken Egg Roll Bowl (Keto-Friendly)

February 25, 2018 Amanda Plott

Alright, so I've been playing around with this recipe for a few months now. I keep telling myself every time I make it, that I'm going to take the pictures and post it up here. But, for one reason or another, it just hasn't worked out until now!

One of the problems has honestly been that this egg roll bowl is just so good that it's hard to not be scarfing on it long before you ever even make it to the table. It literally tastes like the filling of an egg roll, and we all know that's the best part of the egg roll...

Healthified Broccoli Mac-N-Cheese

I still can't believe that The Skinny Fork is almost 5 years old! As time goes on, I continue to go back and revisit older recipes, and this is just one of them that desperately needed an update in the looks department. As usual, everything else has remained the same!

Mac-n-cheese is purely a comfort food. It is one thing that is always in stock in my home and one of the few things that I can count on my daughter readily filling her belly with - without any epic battles...

Roasted Beet Hummus

There isn't much that's prettier than this hummus right here. I mean... look at it. It's perfectly gorgeous. Roasted beets make for the beautiful fuschia pink hue in this hummus that is sure stand out any time of year but especially around Valentine's Day.

Hummus is super easy to make, and it will save you a ton of money to make yourself too! Plus, you have complete control over what goes into it. And let's face it... It's just fun to eat pretty stuff. You eat with your eyes first...

Beet Tartare Stacker Salad

Okay, but for real... I had no idea what to call this. Beets have been a big part of my meal plans lately, and that's mostly because I've gotten them for a few weeks in a row now in my local farm-to-table box. And let me just say, I am a huge beet fan. My mom, however? She thought she only liked pickled beets. (Because that's the only way she's ever had them.)

So while she's been hanging around my place I've now managed to convert her by way of a beet pesto pizza and also that Winter Citrus Power Breakfast from earlier this week. One of these days she'll learn to trust me and my food! One of these days...

Just because the holidays are over doesn't mean that the entertaining has stopped. At least, that's how it is around my place. I like to think of my house as the central hub. The neutral territory. THE place to be. At least once a week there is something going on and I've got a house full of people.

My daughter and I are usually outnumbered by the boys too. Even when my mom comes to visit, if you're counting the animals, we're still outnumbered by at least 2 to 1. So more often than not, when there are people over, I like to stick to food that I know the menfolk will enjoy while also trying to keep my womanly figure. That's where these Armadillo Eggs come in...
