Healthified Turkey Lettuce Wraps

April 13, 2018 Amanda Plott

So, here's the thing... I've been making these for a few years now. Lettuce wraps are one of my favorite things to order from P.F. Changs or Pei Wei, mostly because they are sooo delicious and I don't feel quite as guilty eating them as other options on the menu at either place.

Naturally, I always try and recreate my restaurant faves at home so that I can enjoy them and make them even more guilt-free by being completely in control of what's going into them. These lettuce wraps were no different...

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...
