Skinny Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls

May 10, 2013 Amanda Plott

It's the week of mother's day! What better to give the woman in your life other than a nice prepared pan of banana bread cinnamon rolls? Skinny, and just under 200 calories at that!

Or heck, even treat yourself! These are a great make-ahead treat to have ready when you wake up for mothers day breakfast or brunch!

These are soft and fluffy cinnamon rolls that taste like banana bread and are topped with a drizzling of a light cinnamon vanilla frosting. Indulgent and blissful without the guilt!...

May 3, 2013 Amanda Plott

If you have ever been to a japanese hibachi steak house, you've most likely encountered their infamous yum yum sauce, A.K.A. 'japanese white sauce'.

It's generally served in a small dish for dipping along side a ginger sauce...

Healthified Skinny Queso

Oh, queso... how I love the.

The worst thing about this healthified queso is that it's so good that you're going to want to eat the whole batch yourself. Not that I'm speaking from personal experience there. Honest! Maybe a little... Thankfully it's just about healthy enough for you to be able to! Just. About.

Skinny Spinach Bacon Alfredo Spaghetti Squash Boats

April 10, 2013 Amanda Plott

I've cooked a lot of spaghetti squash in the past year. It's a wonderful and fantastic alternative to noodles. I began to wonder though... how would this taste paired with an alfredo sauce instead of a red sauce?

No, surely not... I eventually dismissed the idea and forgot about it all together until just the other day when I saw the idea in motion.

But, as usual, I've got to make it more skinny, more healthy, more... drool.

Carrot cake in oatmeal? Yes. That.

This is a wonderfully healthy way to have your cake and eat it too!

Seriously. Good. Stuff. This is an easy dish to toss together the night before and have ready to pop into the oven the next morning. Oatmeal, fruit, and veggies. Everything you need to get the day started off right!

Berry Spinach Salad & Lemon Poppy Seed Vinaigrette

March 24, 2013 Amanda Plott

I'll admit, I wasn't quite ready for spring yet this year. I've had a case of the springtime-blues. I'll take all the cool weather I can get here in Texas, but I can already feel the daunting heat of summer rearing it's ugly head. We've already hit the 90's, ugh!

I paired this is a lovely spring inspired lemon poppyseed vinaigrette with a spinach salad that's clearly gearing up for summer! Eating this for lunch has really given me a kick in the right direction to stave off those springtime-blues...
