Strawberry Caprese Salad

May 20, 2014 Amanda Plott

Sometimes, you just have to step outside the box for a moment to find something truly amazing.

I have always loved caprese salads, and I have also always loved the combination of strawberries and balsamic vinegar... So, why not put the two together? While the pairing might seem a little odd to some, I promise this is sure to surprise and de{light}!

There's just something about the mixture of sweet juicy strawberries and the twang of balsamic vinegar that goes so perfectly together. I guess you could say, it's sort of a play on the whole 'sweet and sour' thing...

3 Ingredient Biscuits

May 17, 2014 Amanda Plott

Yes, only 3 ingredients are needed to make these perfectly guilt free biscuits! I can honestly say that I've never made biscuits from scratch before, so I was a little nervous about trying this for the first time. I'm not really sure why I've never made them before. Perhaps I had it in my mind that they were supposed to be daily difficult and taxing. I've made plenty of other breads, rolls, cakes, etc... So why not biscuits?

These were super easy and I was entirely surprised and thrilled with how well they turned out! Especially considering that they only took 3 ingredients and about 10 minutes of preparing. That's it!...

Skinny Greek Chicken Kabobs

I love greek food, and I don't cook it often enough. I'm not sure why either. Just another of those things that escapes me in the kitchen for one reason or another.

Lately I've been in the mood to go back and make my Skinny Greek Feta Dip again. Because... let's face it. Who doesn't love to have an excuse to eat feta? I managed to find my excuse with these perfectly de{light}ful kabobs...

Skinny Green Chile & Cheddar Corn Casserole

May 9, 2014 Amanda Plott

Corn casserole is one of those famous southern things. Though... oddly enough we never had it in my house when I was growing up. We always had cornbread. Not because we weren't fans of corn casserole or anything... we just always had cornbread instead, and I have no answer for 'why'.

To be honest, this corn casserole was actually a happy little accident on my part.

I told you. I too make mistakes in the kitchen, especially with baking!...

Skinny Greek Vinaigrette

May 6, 2014 Amanda Plott

Ah, greek salads have to be one of my most favorite salads. In fact, I was so set on them that I burned myself out for a good year or two. Sad. I know. How can you burn yourself out on a favorite thing? Well, easily if you eat it every day for nearly half a year!

I'm not sure where it was that I had my first ever greek salad... but I know that it was an eye opening. I think it was even the first time that I'd ever had feta cheese. Another favorite thing that I keep close to my heart. Mm... feta...

Skinny Crock Pot Cochinita Pibil

May 3, 2014 Amanda Plott

A couple of months ago my mom was insistent on me meeting her all the way across town to try this little Mexican place nearby her house that she had recently discovered. Usually, my mother and I are not quite on par when it comes to places that we enjoy dining out... so I was more than a little skeptical.

However, she tempted me with happy hour margaritas.

I'm a sucker. What can I say?...
