Baked Tortilla Chips

October 30, 2019 Amanda Plott

Being a Texan means that chips and salsa are basically served with every meal It’s a staple snack that can be found in just about any home and perfectly fits the bill. Whether is breakfast, lunch, or dinner! That being said, most store-bought chips out there are a lot of the same. Lots of salt and oil involved.

Recently I’ve found that making my own tortilla chips is not only crazy easy, it’s also WAY better for you. They’re made with just 2 ingredients and are baked. Meaning hardly any oil and YOU get to control the seasoning and salt that goes into them!…

Asian Marinated Eggs

October 21, 2019 Amanda Plott

Originally, I was introduced to soy marinated eggs at a local ramen joint. Of course… I’m not the most confident in my skills to soft boil, peel, and marinate said eggs myself sooo… the next best thing is a hard-boiled version! And I say next best only because these are really just a very different animal all together. The idea is the same though. And the taste is too!

These Asian Marinated Eggs are a delicious and easy to make addition to … well, almost any Asian inspired meal. Add them to ramen, serve as a side with a salad, or even as an appetizer…

It’s almost the weekend and that means it’s time for some meal prepping! This Overnight Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal is a great way to get that pumpkin spice goodness of Fall in there for breakfast with minimal effort. And I do mean very minimal.

These oats are mixed together with pumpkin purée, spices, milk and some greek yogurt to create the perfect breakfast bite to grab-and-go out the door come the busy week ahead. It’ll fill you up and keep you going all the way through to lunch time!…

Fresh Turkey Salad

October 9, 2019 Amanda Plott

I’ve decided to call this ‘fresh’ turkey salad because I loaded it up with plenty of fresh fruits and veggies. No nuts. No dried fruits. Fresh, fresh, FRESH! I borrowed the base of this recipe from my Skinny ‘Leftover’ Turkey Salad, and made just a few tweaks and adjustments to get it to something that was a little more… fresh!

And now for the speech! Turkey salad as in chicken salad. Not a salad with chicken or turkey on it. But, rather a ‘salad’ that’s made up WITH turkey and chicken. The sort of thing you can smear on some toast for a turkey salad sandwich, or load on top of crackers…

Black & Blueberry Smoothie

It’s a short, sweet, and simple one today!

This Black & Blueberry Smoothie is quick and so SO easy to make with just a handful of simple ingredients and a quick whirl around in the blender. This has been one of my go-to breakfasts for about two weeks now. And let me just say, that I’ve never been one to be that big into smoothies before. I’ve always preferred to eat my meals as opposed to drinking them.

But when it comes to this smoothie? I am totally fine with drinking it. In fact, it’s probably one of my all time favorite things for breakfast right now. It fills me up and gives me plenty of energy to get through the day…

All you busy parents out there… this one's for you! And your kids too, of course! I don’t know about you but as an animal lover, my little one loves her cartoons and PAW Patrol has always been at the top of her list of favorites. So, when I saw these PAW Patrol inspired snack cheeses at my local HEB I knew that I had to get them and do something fun with them for snack time!

When I was little, two of my favorite snacks were cheese sticks and pizza bites. So, I thought to myself… why not both? And you know what? Let’s make them crazy easy and simple too. With literally just a handful of ingredients and a quick bake to perfection. The best part? They have the playful look of a rawhide dog bone! PAW Patrol, here we come.
