Whole Wheat English Muffins

February 4, 2020 Amanda Plott
whole-wheat-english-muffins8.jpg

Several years ago I had a bread machine. It was big and bulky and took up a LOT of my kitchen space… which let me just tell you, its REALLY limited as it is. After it’s fair share of use, the bread machine started to act up and, long story short, I ended up getting rid of it.

Over the last year or so, I’ve had the desire to get another bread machine. There’s just something truly satisfying about making your own bread and being able to take charge of what’s in it and how it’s flavored. So, I bit the bullet and got a new one! It’s a lot more quiet and significantly smaller than the old one. The first thing on my list to make? Homemade whole wheat english muffins, of course!…

Chicken Lunch Wrap

December 17, 2019 Amanda Plott

Who has two thumbs and loves the ‘cool wrap’ from Chick-fil-a? This girl.

It’s true, the cool wrap is one of my favorite things to get from the fast food chain. Mostly because it’s really such a healthy option. Grilled chicken, plenty of greens… and what is that wrap? Well, with a quick search over their menu and the ingredients for the wrap, I found that a ‘lavash pita’ bread is used.

Lavash pita bread is a very thin and very soft pita bread that is perfectly foldable, rollable, and doesn’t tear very easily. It holds up extraordinarily well. It’s officially my ‘tortilla’ replacement, I think…

Campwiches (Camping-Friendly Sandwiches)

August 1, 2019 Amanda Plott

I’m going camping this weekend with a group of 5 of my lady cousins and my mother. Shenanigans are afoot. It was only natural that I sort of assumed the roll of being in charge of the snacks and food. And while I’m not generally big on the idea of camping, I have done it a handful of times in my life and I’m more than happy to do it again with these girls.

Plus, there will be plenty of family time and wine around.

Since a few of us are going to start the campout a day early, I decided that I should probably pack something light for lunch on the day we’re arriving. These ‘campwiches’ are the perfect way to pack sandwiches for any picnic or camp out…

Kid-Friendly Zucchini Sushi

July 19, 2019 Amanda Plott

Ugh… Back-to-school is coming up which is definitely a bittersweet time of year for me. I love having my mini-me around during the summer to plan and do all the fun things together. It’s been a good summer so far. Light and easy, just like this Kid-Friendly Zucchini Sushi!

Unlike traditional sushi, this is completely a kid centric style. You won’t find any raw seafood here. Nope! Just meat, cheese, carrots, and a zucchini shell. These little Kid-Friendly Zucchini Sushi bites are perfect for lunch boxes and finger-food snack or lunch plates…

Crabby Beach Sandwich

Alright, well this isn’t -exactly a recipe, but more of a ‘how-to’ sort of thing. So, feel free to create your sandwich with whatever meats and cheeses your kids enjoy. Mine? She’s all about turkey, ham, and on occasion now, cheese too! Since we’re sort of in the midst of a ‘under the sea’ sort of themed week of summer, and we’re not seafood eaters, I thought I’d create a cute little sandwich.

Crab-free.

As it turns out, this sweet little guy would be great for any ocean, sea, or water themed party too. Thinking back, he probably would have fit right into my daughter’s ‘pirates and mermaid’ birthday a few years back now…

Rainbow Wrap Lunch Box

June 8, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s getting hot here in Texas, and I don’t know about the rest of you but I could use something to cool me off by the time lunch rolls around. Even though we’re keeping things as simple as possible during the summer months, there’s still a lot of out-and-about happening. (The summer months are when the vast majority of our family birthdays are - so we’re all over the place celebrating!)

With all that’s going on around me, I like to have my lunch prepared and ready to go so that I can grab-and-go on my way out the door to whatever we might be off to. And since we’re in between our themed summer weeks of kids cooking/baking and fantasy, I thought this Rainbow Wrap Lunch Box would be the perfect fit…
