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!…

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!…

Spring Vegetable Crustless Quiche

April 29, 2021 Amanda Plott

I’ve made a lot of crustless quiches in the past, and with Spring in full swing, I decided to make one that used up the bounty of veggies that Spring offers up such as spinach, mushrooms, and asparagus. Unlike some of my other quiches, I wanted this one to be the absolute start of the plate. So, I stuffed it full of veggie goodness, used more eggs, less milk, and ended up with a low calorie, high flavor dish that was perfectly suited to Spring.

I think one of my favorite things about quiche has to be that it can literally be enjoyed as a meal at any time of day; breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner… any and all! When enjoying with breakfast or as brunch, I serve it with fresh fruit. But if it’s al lunch or dinner option, I dress it up with a soup and/or salad!…

Fresh Strawberry Bundt Cake

This Fresh Strawberry Bundt Cake takes the cake. Seriously! This cake is DELICIOUS if I do say so myself. It is jam packed FULL of yummy strawberry flavor and nothing about it is artificial or out of a box, which makes it EVEN BETTER.

The secret is in the sauce. To start this cake off right, you put a whole pint of strawberries to cook down into an amazing sauce. On top of that, you throw some freeze dried strawberries into the batter and the end result is a perfectly guilt free and AMAZING strawberry cake…

Funfetti Sugar Cookie Cake

April 2, 2021 Amanda Plott

My daughter’s birthday is literally just around the corner. I can’t believe I’m about to have an 11 year old. Even so, I’m doing my very best to take this birthday extra special since, well, times are still rather strange in the world. One of the things I’m doing to make her day even more magical is making cake! Okay, so… not cake-cake. She had pretty specific instructions on wanting a cookie cake again this year. Which I’m totally down for.

The one I’m making for her actual birthday will be that Giant Cookie Cake from a couple years back. But, to get the party started early this long weekend, I decided to make this Funfetti Sugar Cookie Cake! It’s part cookie. Part cake. And a whole lot of sprinkles!…

Spring Vegetable Lasagna

March 30, 2021 Amanda Plott

In case you haven’t heart yet, it’s Spring! And I’m sticking to Spring themed foods for a good while. This Spring Vegetable Lasagna is a Spring infused lasagna that’s meatless and made with all the best and freshest produce that Spring time has to offer. That includes, zucchini, summer squash, spinach, and of course peas! Yes. There’s peas in this lasagna!

As strange as that may sound, this lasagna turns out bright, vibrant, and absolutely delicious. Plus, you get a whole HUGE piece for under 300 calories. Not too shabby for a lasagna that’s veggieful and cheesy! It’s even more guilt-free with whole wheat lasagna noodles being the basis for this layered beauty…
