Veggies in the Raw Bistro Box

October 27, 2015 Amanda Plott

It's been a good while since I worked on my skills at adult lunch boxes or 'bistro boxes' as I've seen them called. I've made a few in the past, and I've always enjoyed them for more than one reason.

I love that these bistro boxes are small, filling, packable, and so easy to whip up a few of them to have on hand through out the week. I've found that if I have to make my lunch every day that I will tend to either skip it all together (which is a bad idea) or trade out my more health conscious lunch for something that's quicker and more grab-and-go (even worse!)

When I have my little prepped bistro boxes though, I don't have any excuse to not sit down and enjoy my wholesome and stackable style meal...

Halloween is almost upon us, and that means that the rest of the major Holidays are going to follow there shortly after! I'm so excited for the upcoming Holiday season, but I've got to say that as usual I'm already planning and stressing out over it all.

It comes with the territory, what can I say?

We're always busy around here hosting family and going to all the fun holiday events that they have around my great city. It's always so much fun, but a very chaotic time for everyone I think. Somewhere between getting little ones off to school, working, decorating, shopping, and holiday events, a better-for-you dinner can get lost in the mix...

Hoisin Marinated Tofu in Miso Ramen

October 3, 2015 Amanda Plott

I can see and feel the change in the seasons rolling through. Finally, there's some relief from the hot summer days as we get cooler weather here in Texas. Whoohoo! I think the high here today is only 88 degrees F. In honor of the cooler weather, I thought it would be nice to make a warm pot of ramen soup.

Ramen soup can often come in many shapes and forms. Usually it involves Chinese noodles, some sort of broth, and an assortment of vegetables. Today I wanted to keep my soup meatless, loaded with vegetables, and piled up with seared tofu...

Peanut butter is my jam. Pun totally intended.

I know that when I think of peanut butter, I immediately think of peanut butter and jelly. It's a timeless classic that we all know, love, and appreciate. There's just something about the sweet and the savory/salty notes coming together that instantly take you back to a simpler time. Childhood.

Another thing that comes to mind with peanut butter is that age old question, creamy or crunchy? It seems as if though such an easy question could completely divide the world. Well, what if I told you that you could have both? What if I told you that we could all live in peace and harmony, never being forced to choose sides again?...

Ricotta & Spinach Stuffed Shells with Butternut Squash Sauce

September 25, 2015 Amanda Plott

Welcome Fall! You are a breath of fresh air. Oh, how I've missed you!

But, I think anyone here in Texas misses Fall and welcomes it with open arms. By the time the end of September rolls around, I'm always more than ready for the cooler weather and the change of the seasons. I'm done with these 90+ degree days, dang it.

To further welcome in the fall equinox, I decided I wanted to do something fun with butternut squash. I know when I think of fall foods, squashes and gourds are often the first things that come to mind.

I had gotten a mixed bag of 'super greens' in my local box a few weeks ago that I sautéed up and placed in the freezer - sort of in the same manner that you get frozen chopped spinach. I knew that it would pair perfectly with what I had in mind for fall!...

Chickpea, Butternut Squash & Green Pea Curry

September 11, 2015 Amanda Plott

I've had this love-hate relationship with curry lately. I made a new vegetarian version of it a few weeks ago and it turned out great. I then made it again about a week ago and it was horrible. So, I went back to the drawing board.

I wanted to keep this version of curry somewhere between summer and fall with flavors and vegetables blending over from both seasons. So, I decided to use fresh green peas and spinach as an ode to summer, while the butternut squash was my fall inspiration.

This curry is full of flavor, but not very spicy if you ask me. The sweetness of the peas and butternut squash naturally tone down the spicy kick of the curry. So, if you're not one for hot and spicy things, this curry is right up your alley!...
