Skinny Cranberry Cherry Cobbler

November 24, 2019 Amanda Plott

If you’re looking for a slightly more out of the box dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas, look no further! This Skinny Cranberry Cherry Cobbler is a mix of my favorite cobbler recipe and my 5 Ingredient Skinny Cranberry Cherry Pie.

Even for being made with cherries and fresh cranberries, this cobbler is surprisingly simple and easy to put together. While it may have a few more ingredients than the pie, you don’t have to fuss with the crust! Just as with most cobblers, this one is made with the batter on the bottom of the dish and a hot fruit filling spread over the top…

Skinny Truffle Deviled Eggs

November 16, 2019 Amanda Plott

With the Holidays coming up quickly, I like to get a few fun appetizers in mind ahead of time. Deviled eggs are one of my staple snacks just because most people enjoy them, they're quick and easy to make, and they can be pretty impressive when you put a twist on the very classic and simple egg.

I’ve made a lot of deviled eggs in the past. Everything eggs, bacon & cheddar eggs, bloody mary eggs, jalapeño popper eggs, and even buffalo deviled eggs! Today I wanted to keep things simple with these deviled eggs while also elevating them, and truffle seemed like the best way to do that!…

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cobbler

Are you getting tired of the same ol’ - same ol’ when it comes to the dessert options around the holidays? Shake things up this year and try out this delicious Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cobbler! If a pumpkin pie and a cobbler had a love child, this cobbler would be it!

This delicious wonder of a dessert makes it’s own gooey pumpkin caramel sauce while a spiced up cake forms on top to make one hell of a Fall inspired cobbler, if I do say so myself. Lightened up and made just a little better-for-you with just a few simple swaps…

Healthified Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

November 10, 2019 Amanda Plott

One of the first swaps I made was to use a whole wheat white flour. Why? I wanted to get the whole wheat in there without the ‘grit’ of whole wheat flour. I also subbed in a brown sugar/sweetener blend instead of full on brown sugar. This cut down the sugar on these cookies immensely.

Other than that, these cookies are really pretty standard. Oats, raisins, and some spices.

These cookies do take some time, but that’s only because the dough needs to chill for at least an hour in the fridge to avoid the dough spreading out too much when baking…

Whole Wheat Vegan Biscuits

Baby it’s cold outside…

And I need some biscuits in my life! Now, I’ve made some simple biscuits in the past, like my 3 ingredient biscuits or even these low carb ones that I paired with gravy. Today though, I wanted to stay simple and have some biscuits on hand for breakfast sandwiches this week. I didn’t want just any old biscuit though, I wanted them to be whole wheat this time around!

I took some of the basics from my 3 ingredient biscuits and made the needed adjustments to turn them into whole wheat biscuits instead. Of course the thing that made the ‘ 3 ingredient’ version was the self-rising flour…

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!…
