Healthified 7 Layer Dip

January 18, 2014 Amanda Plott

You know... the term '7 layer dip' always confused me as... I've never actually seen a 7 layer dip with exactly 7 layers. Seriously. Think about it...

Mind boggling, I know.

In any case, this is my healthified take in the traditional party staple dip.

Oh! And don't let the ingredient list scare you away. Most of the items between the tomato layer and the guacamole layer are the same, so there really isn't that much (it just looks intimidating at first.) This is a super easy recipe anyway!...

BLT Lettuce Wraps

When I first had the thought to do BLT Lettuce wraps, I was scared that they wouldn't be filling enough or hefty enough to satisfy as a meal. So when I went to work putting these together, I made sure to use some nice big romaine leaves and lots of chunks of tomato as filler.

These were super amazing and oh-so-filling! I even had trouble in getting all three down but they were just so delicious and guilt-free that I felt I owed it to myself and the rest of the world to bully through the last one.

I think the next time that I make these, I'll do two per serving instead and serve along side a bowl of Skinny Tomato Basil Soup!...

Lighter Egg-in-a-Basket

I'm taking a little break from my 'game day' inspired recipes today and enjoying a nice little light breakfast.

I've got to admit, breakfast is the hardest meal of the day for me. Somewhere between getting myself up and going and getting my little girl up and going... I more often than not either skip it all together or end up scarfing down the remains of whatever I made her that day.

One of my go to items when I'm rushing around is toast. It's quick. It's easy. And it's portable.

No fuss. No muss...

The 'Get Forking Skinny Meal Plan' (Week 3)

Alright everyone - here it is... Week three of the 'Get Forking Skinny Meal Plan'!

I'm pretty sure that I have everything listed accurately on the shopping list, but if you feel that you find an error just let me know! Again, it's a learning process.

Just a friendly reminder, I've created the shopping list with the notion that you have basic spices and pantry/kitchen staples on hand. So, you'll want to double check the recipes and the shopping list to be sure that you have everything you need...

Skinny 'Game Day' Meatballs

January 9, 2014 Amanda Plott

Some of my favorite appetizer style meatballs when I was younger were always the pre-made ones that you toss in the crock pot to simmer with cranberry and chili sauce.

However... canned cranberry sauce has quite a bit of calories to it and pre-made meatballs are not filled with the most health conscious ingredients.

So, this is my take on that game day classic!...
