Lightened Up Lazy Enchiladas

April 28, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s definitely that time of year where Summer is lingering on the horizon and we’ve all got to dig deep to try and push forward through the rest of the school year and into Summer break. Most years, I’m not quite ready for the hot 100 degree days and three months of blistering sunshine, but this year I am all in. I. Can’t. Wait. That being said, I still have things to do!

That’s where quick weeknight meals and easy dinner options come into play, like these Lightened Up Lazy Enchiladas! They are so easy to make and delish too. So what’s a lazy enchilada anyway? Well, there’s no tortillas involved. It’s basically a casserole that you make with tortilla chips, sauce, meat, and veggies. No rolling involved….

Pantry Pottage (Crock Pot & Instant Pot)

December 7, 2021 Amanda Plott

This Pantry Pottage became a traditional Thanksgiving Eve dinner many many years ago in my family. I think the original recipe was one that my mom had gotten off the local news station when I was still in high school. The idea behind the dish was to use up all the canned beans and vegatables from your pantry and toss them into a crock pot to cook up some fabulous and easy dish that would serve up a house of visitors.

Several years ago now, the original printed recipe that my mom had ended up disappearing among a chaotic move. I've since scowered the web to find it, though to no avail. I did, however, manage to find a similar version that I've tweaked to be closer to what my mom and I remember…

Skinny Turkey & Wild Rice Soup

November 28, 2021 Amanda Plott

It happens every Thanksgiving... What do you do with all that leftover turkey? And believe me when I say that I have a freezer full of it this year. And you know what? I'm not at al mad at it either.

I'm happy to say that I've got a solution for you right here.

I originally started making this soup after Thanksgiving a few years back, and honestly, I still haven't changed the recipe from my original version of it. That's just how good it is...

Biscuit & Gravy Pot Pie

August 16, 2021 Amanda Plott

Sometimes you just need a good comforting breakfast. And this Biscuit & Gravy Pot Pie is about as ‘comfort food’ as you can get. With a homemade turkey sausage gravy and biscuit topping, you just can’t go wrong! It’s perfect as a weekend breakfast or brunch. But, it also makes for a pretty good breakfast through the week since it reheats pretty well.

It’s lightened up just a bit by using a turkey breakfast sausage and also unsweetened almond milk in place of other milks. Though, you can really use any sort of milk that tickles your fancy. I just like this almond milk because it gives me more bang for my buck calorie wise…

Skinny Biscuits & Gravy Cups

July 16, 2021 Amanda Plott

Biscuits and gravy cups? That’s right! Biscuit dough cups that are filled with an easy to make homemade sausage gravy that makes it all perfectly grab-and-go friendly while also being great for the kiddos! While these Skinny Biscuits & Gravy Cups are cute and even impressive, they are actually really simple and easy to make with just a handful of ingredients.

Since there isn’t a whole lot you can do to lighten up this biscuit part (outside of making your own biscuit dough), I did just about everything I could to make the gravy better-for-you. I started the gravy off with a lean turkey breakfast sausage and then swapped in almond milk for regular milk. I also used a reduced fat cheddar in place of regular…

This morning I decided to take the tortilla wrap trend to the next level with this pesto-goodness loaded breakfast wrap! This tortilla trend has just about a little of everything. Fresh veggies, pesto, cheese, bacon, and of course egg!

It’s delicious and takes just a few minutes to toss together. Plus, being as it’s a tortilla trend, it’s completely portable and makes for the BEST grab-and-go breakfast you can get your hands on. And with just a few simple swaps, this breakfast is completely guilt-free…
