Skinny Pumpkin & Cranberry Bread

November 7, 2014 Amanda Plott

With the cooler crisp fall air breezing through Texas now, I've been super inspired to do any and all things involving pumpkins lately. What better way to start your day than with a nice warm slice of pumpkin, spice, and cranberry whole wheat bread to go with your coffee or tea?

This wonderfully fall inspired bread would make the perfect addition to any breakfast plate, especially around the upcoming holidays! No one will be the wiser to the fact that this is actually a pretty healthy breakfast bread, and that's okay. Let them think they are indulging...

Greek Pita 'Pizza'

August 1, 2014 Amanda Plott

This is one of those stupid-easy and crazy-good sort of recipes. The kind of thing that you throw together on some lazy end-of-the-week night and then think... "Oh, man! I'm brilliant! This is amazing!"

I was seriously not looking forward to cooking today. I've been in a tremendous amount of pain with my neck and shoulders since I cracked my eyes open this morning. ...It's the type of pain that is nearly blinding. It creeps up into my eye sockets and even makes my ears hurt! I've been in so much pain, that it's been a challenge to even consider food without getting blatantly nauseous.

So, needless to say... once I got some of the pain (and nausea) behind me, this was the perfect dinner for me tonight...

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 Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls

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!...

Skinny Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls

And so the blissful week of bacon inspired recipes continues!

These cinnamon rolls are the perfect morning treat. Reminiscent of pigs-in-a-blanket or pancakes with bacon. The house smelled absolutely wonderful while these were in the oven.

If you're not all about bacon, and I know that there are actually a few of you out there, you can definitely substitute the bacon for another ingredient such as dried fruit or nuts. Yum!...
