Lemon Poppy Seed Chicken Salad

April 12, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s Spring and for me that means it’s time to play around with all things lemon and poppy seed. This Lemon Poppy Seed Chicken Salad is a fun twist on a classic chicken salad. That’s chicken salad, not chicken in a salad. Most of the time when you think of lemon and poppy seed, you think of sweet treats. But, not today!

This chicken salad is savory through and through. The bright pop of lemon and the bit of crunch from the poppy seeds really makes this a chicken salad to remember. It’s perfect all on its own or used on a sandwich or as part of a Spring inspired green leaf salad. Though I would absolutely stuff this chicken salad into a tomato too!…

Black Burger Buns (Bread Machine)

September 24, 2020 Amanda Plott

Halloween is coming! I’m about to get my Halloween decorations down, the weather is turning cooler, and I couldn’t be more ready for the Fall. The world might be more crazy than ever, but I’m going to enjoy my favorite holiday this year, one way or another. Now… usually around this time of year I’m coming ip with all recipes pumpkin and Halloween inspired. This year? No different!

These Black Burger Buns are fairly easy to make with a bread machine. And their dark color makes them PERFECT for a Halloween inspired burger. I made ‘werewolf’ burgers in that they were mostly just neat colors that made me think of werewolves; black, purples, deep reds, etc…

Thai Chicken Wrap

July 26, 2020 Amanda Plott

Lunch is served! This Thai Chicken Wrap is as simple as it comes. A simple lavash pita bread wrapping cabbage, carrot, peanuts, and chicken! There isn’t much here to lighten up since all of the ingredients are already fairly clean and simple. And this Thai Chicken Wrap must absolutely be served with a Thai Peanut Dressing for dipping.

The sauce is pretty much what makes this wrap ‘Thai chicken’. But, if you aren’t a fan of Thai peanut sauce then you are more than welcome to try any other number of dipping sauces that you enjoy instead. This wrap is super easy though and perfect PERFECT for meal prepping lunches for the week…

Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Pesto Wrap

June 5, 2020 Amanda Plott

If you’re looking for some lunch time inspiration, here you go! This Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Pesto Wrap is super quick and easy to make with just a handful in ingredients and a ton of flavor. When I got my hands on the sun-dried tomato tortilla wraps, I thought it would be fun to use them to make a ‘caprese style’ twist on a wrap with them.

So I loaded them up with two different kinds of pesto, chicken, bacon, mozzarella, and baby spinach. That’s pretty much all there is to it! Roll it all up together and you’ve got one of the easiest and most tasty wraps you’ll ever come across.

I served my wraps with baked chips and some fresh veggies, but some fruit, soup, or even a salad would also be nice sides here.

If you’re making this head of time as a meal prep, there isn’t much you need to do any differently. Store in an air-tight container for up to 3-5 days until ready to enjoy.

Cinnamon Raisin Bread (Bread Machine)

April 25, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’ve been taking the time lately to bake my little heart out. Baking has always been my weakest point, so I figured there was no time like the present to start working on that. One of the biggest steps I made in this was getting my hands on a new bread machine. I’ve found that access to a machine to do most of the hands on parts of making bread dough has eased my fears.

This Cinnamon Raisin Bread is perfect as part of a wholesome breakfast. With allowing the machine to do most of the work and only a few minutes of actual hands-on time, this bread is a great guilt-free way to feel like you’re indulging a bit…

Everything Chicken Salad

March 19, 2020 Amanda Plott

It’s a wide world of crazy out there right now. Things are being shut down left and right and groceries are scarce at this point to say the least. Until things return to normal, I’m doing my part in staying around home and coming up with simple, easy to make recipes that can hopefully be made with just a few staple pantry ingredients that everyone should have on hand.

This Everything Chicken Salad is one such recipe! Chicken salad is pretty much a fail-safe bite that’s full of protein, easy to make, and fairly versatile as it can be used as a dip, spread, or stand-alone. Being as I always always have ‘everything seasoning’ on hand, I thought I could put the two together!…
