Sun-Dried Tomato & Spinach Egg White Bites

April 9, 2018 Amanda Plott

After a long long long and super fun birthday weekend for my daughter, I'm honest in saying that we all are still pretty exhausted today. Before we took off though, I had my fridge well prepared for our return; full well knowing the chaos and tired state of mind that we would be returning to. And with 'sous vide' egg bites still being on trend and easy to make, I thought what better breakfast to have ready!

The last 'sous vide' egg bites that I made were standard and very traditional in a bacon and cheddar flavor, so today I decided to kick it up a notch. These were made with only the egg whites, cheese (of course), sun-dried tomatoes and fresh baby spinach. What goes better with any of those things other than a good helping of feta cheese?...

Skinny Carrot Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling

March 30, 2018 Amanda Plott

Just in time for Easter! This morning I woke up with a Spring in my step (pun intended) and just had to make this Skinny Carrot Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling. I based the recipe loosely on the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll that I make in the fall. But, there's not ever a bad time for a cream cheese roll, in my opinion.

I kept this recipe pretty simple, using a boxed cake mix with a few add-ins to beef it up a bit. I kept it light with my usual swaps ins for a cake mix and even used a handy new powdered sugar replacement in the cream cheese filling.

Low-Carb Broccoli Cheese Dip (Slow Cooker)

March 26, 2018 Amanda Plott

Everyone should know by now that I am a cheese freak. A cheeseoholic. A cheese master. ...I guess one could even say that I'm a bit... cheesy. Buh-dum-psssh. Queso is usually my go-to cheesy wonder of amazingness, but I thought today I would change it up a bit and go with something a bit more traditional and Americanized.

What's more American than broccoli and cheese? Besides Apple Pie or Baseball. Neither of which would make for a very good cheese dip...

Skinny Japanese Cheesecake

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm a little obsessed with food trends. There has been one food trend going around for a while now that I've been keeping my eye on, and that's Japanese Cheesecake.

As I've come to find out, Japanese Cheesecake goes by a few different names, all of which do their fair share of describing this cake; Japanese Cotton Cake, Soufflé Cake, Jiggly Cake, and Pillow Cake, just to name a few...

She shoots... she scores! Annnd the crowd goes wild!

These Skinny BBQ Beef & Cheddar Bites are a slam dunk! As a Texan, I'm a girl that knows her way around both game-day and BBQ. So, when I'm trying to get into the spirit and prepare for the big tournament, I more often than not combine the two into one perfectly popable bite!

I know that with planning on watching a game with friends and family, it's best to make snacks that are quick, easy, and mostly hands off. That's why I love to use my electric pressure cooker and a few other kitchen hacks along the way...

Guinness Meatballs (Instant Pot)

March 18, 2018 Amanda Plott

Happy belated St. Patrick's Day, y'all! Of course, I couldn't leave you all weekend without getting these Guinness Meatballs out here for everyone to enjoy. And now... what's a girl supposed to do with leftover beer? Especially an Irish Stout?

Well, if you're looking for a last minute end of the weekend St. Patty's Day meal (or appetizer), or just have some leftover Guinness on hand, then this is for you! These Guinness Meatballs couldn't be any quicker or easy to make; merely mix, roll, and toss them into a pressure cooker with that Healthified Guinness BBQ Sauce for a few minutes and BOOM you're done...
