Strawberry Shortcake Energy Bites

May 11, 2018 Amanda Plott

Is it just me or is May one of those months where you're running around like a crazy person the most? Maybe it's because we're just ahead of summer break for the kids and everything is winding down. It's the sprint to the finish line and it is not for the faint off heart!

I know that for me, it's been one thing after the other. Every day there seems to be something important that NEEDS to be done. On top of all of that, I've been getting back into the swing of exercising. So right now, more than ever, my body is craving energy; every from good food and proper rest. That's why I decided to make myself these Strawberry Shortcake Energy Bites…

It's almost mermaid season, y'all! That's right, we're almost on the last month of the countdown until the kiddos are out of school for Summer over there and I am busy planning fun things for my girl and me to do. Right now, I'm thinking we will spend many-a-day waterside this Summer and with hair like mine, we shall henceforth call it the Summer of mermaids!

To celebrate the warmer weather, and the nearing of the Summer of mermaids, I've got a special mermaid treat coming at you today that is 100% beach body approved and guilt-free to boot. In fact, I think I might just call it nice cream instead…

Skinny Mimosa Loaf Cake

Yesterday, The Skinny Fork officially turned 5 years old! Can you believe?! I decided to celebrate the best way that I know how, and that's with mimosas and cake! But, instead of keeping them separate, I put them together into one AMAZING loaf cake.

That's right babes... there's champagne and fresh squeezed orange juice IN this cake TOGETHER. I'm calling it a 'loaf cake' because it's not really a bread, but it's baked as a loaf. Ergo, loaf cake...

Being a mom during the holidays isn’t just busy… it’s STRESSFUL. Somewhere between all the shopping, cooking, and party planning, the magic of the Holidays can be lost. No one wants to have a blue Christmas. That's why I've brightened things up and made the holidays fun again with this Spiked Lemon Pepper Chicken Salad.

This chicken salad is bright, bold and full of flavor. It makes a great grab-and-go snack or part of a meal during this busy time of year and is even better as a holiday party appetizer. It's an easy, quick-to-toss-together, nosh-worthy bite...

Apple Carrot Ginger Juice

I've been obsessed with this cold pressed juice bar down the street from me all summer long. It's an expensive habit and a hard one to break. However, when trying to cut back on spending and not on my health... the juice is the first thing to replace!

That's why I have been working for a couple of weeks now on perfecting my own homemade version of my favorite from the juice bar. Not only that, but I gave it a boost of even more benefits...

California Style Open Face Breakfast Sandwiches

August 31, 2017 Amanda Plott

Ever since I got my pullet eggs last week, I've been in breakfast heaven. And since I'm getting more of them later today (while they're still in season), I wanted to use up the few that I have leftover for breakfast again today! It's not what I had planned, but Hurricane Harvey sort of threw me off my schedule that I had laid out. So, I'm just winging it here.

If you missed it last time I talked about pullet eggs, basically they are smaller eggs that are laid by chickens under a year old. They're richer and have bigger yolks than eggs laid by older and more mature hens. So, when I find them for sale I always buy them while I can...
