PB&J Snack Mix

May 25, 2021 Amanda Plott

Summer is coming and it’s always nice to have a snack mix on hand for yourself, others, or the kiddos when you’re out and about. And hopefully we all get to be just a little more out and about this year. This PB&J Snack Mix is a great grab-and-go mix because it’s very summer friendly being as there isn’t much in here that’s prone to the summer heat.

This mix has some good stuff in it that pretty much any PB&J lover will adore. Real strawberries. Peanuts. And a lot in between. This snack mix has just a little bit of everything from salty to sweet and back again along with a variety of textures ranging from soft to crunchy…

Air Fryer Cream Cheese Rangoons

May 16, 2021 Amanda Plott

When I decided to make my Egg Roll in a Bowl this week, I thought some cream cheese wontons would be the perfect appetizer to go with it. And since I’ve already done baked ones, why not try them in the air fryer? As it turns out, the air fryer is the perfect way to get some crispy and delicious cream cheese rangoons!

These crunchy cream cheese bits are great for dipping and dunking into your favorite asian inspired sauce alongside your favorite asian inspired meal. They’re quick and easy to make while also being kid-friendly and vegetarian! You could take them a step further and make them vegan too with a tofu cream cheese - which is something I have totally done before…

Strawberry Pop-Tart Overnight Oats

May 10, 2021 Amanda Plott

Just a few more weeks and my kiddo will be out for summer. And these last few weeks are always super DUPER busy. In order to avoid skipping out on breakfast in the morning, I like to have a few things on hand that I can grab-and-go eat with no excuses and no guilt. That’s where these Strawberry Pop-Tart Overnight Oats come into play.

Overnight oats are tasty, easy to make, and an excellent thing to meal prep. The oats themselves are left overnight in a mixture of almond milk, greek yogurt, some sweetener, and real-deal cake batter flavor. They’re also stuffed full of strawberry goodness and then topped off with a drizzle of frosting and even rainbow sprinkles!…

Oatmeal Raisin Skillet Cookie

Cookies just don’t get more simple than this. Not only is this Oatmeal Raisin Skillet Cookie baked in a skillet, it’s whipped up all in one bowl. That means a whole lot less dirty dishes to deal with, and a whole lot more time to spend enjoying this delicious cookie. And let’s face it, saving time and energy at the end of the school year is VITAL.

This oatmeal cookie has all the goodness of any oatmeal cookie, and none of the guilt. I mean, how can you feel guilty about eating oatmeal and raisins?…

There is just ONE month left to school and then my kiddo is out for summer. And what says summer more than some S’mores?! This S’mores inspired monkey bread has all the delicious flavors of a S’more baked right in. that’s right this S'mores Monkey Bread has grahams, chocolate, AND marshmallow goodness all up in it.

One of the best parts, is that this monkey bread is quick and easy to make and it’s one of those things that both kids AND adults can enjoy. The dough here is tossed in a graham/sweetener mixture and then piled into a bundt pan with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. Perfect for weekend breakfast or brunch!…

Blondies + Maple Cream Cheese Sauce

April 26, 2021 Amanda Plott

It was my brother’s birthday celebration this past weekend, and it sure was a lot different from how it was last year for sooo many reasons. Thankfully vaccinations are in place and we got to celebrate together once again! In lieu of a cake though, my brother wanted blondies this year which I am totally down for! Don’t get me wrong, I love cake as much as the next girl, but there’s something to be said about a good blondie.

These blondies are my healthified take on the ones that you’ll find at one of those chain restaurants. It was always my most favorite dessert there. What with the warm blondie with white chocolate chips, some vanilla ice cream, and that AMAZING maple cream cheese sauce on top. Mmmm…
