Skinny Pimento Cheese

September 2, 2023 Amanda Plott

I'm a Texas girl and I have a natural love for pimento cheese. I think it's in our veins down here. A staple in our fridge and our lives.

I know from personal experiences that a lot of people in the northern states cannot buy this in the store. Honestly, I was shocked when my grandmother, a Texan born and raised, told me that she's never seen pimento cheese in any grocery store in Oregon (where she now lives.) And even more shocked when someone else from the north had no idea what I was talking about. "Oh, like... that has olives in it?" - No! That's pimento loaf! Totally different…

'Brain' Deviled Eggs

October 16, 2020 Amanda Plott

These deviled eggs are all dressed up for Halloween and ready to go with some pink hue to the filling and a fun little design on top that makes them look like mini brain bites. They’re lightened up, keto friendly, low carb, vegetarian, and gluten-free too! Which makes them even more fun for your Halloween eats and treats this year.

I finished them off with a light dusting of paprika to give just a little more of that creepy 'Halloween ‘brain’ feel. Other than that, these are very standard deviled eggs. Just, you know, guilt-free!…

Instant Pot Cold Start Vanilla Greek Yogurt

July 28, 2020 Amanda Plott

I never in a million years would have guessed that I would ever make yogurt. I don’t know why, but I just never really considered that I even could make it. Mostly because I honestly didn’t know the process of how to make yogurt. And… then I got a pressure cooker.

As it turns out, making yogurt is really easy to do. And what’s better? You can make it just the way you want, in any flavor you want, and as tangy as you want. Plus, making it yourself saves you calories AND money! So, as scary as the concept may seem, it’s definitely worth trying out!…

Fresh Turkey Salad

October 9, 2019 Amanda Plott

I’ve decided to call this ‘fresh’ turkey salad because I loaded it up with plenty of fresh fruits and veggies. No nuts. No dried fruits. Fresh, fresh, FRESH! I borrowed the base of this recipe from my Skinny ‘Leftover’ Turkey Salad, and made just a few tweaks and adjustments to get it to something that was a little more… fresh!

And now for the speech! Turkey salad as in chicken salad. Not a salad with chicken or turkey on it. But, rather a ‘salad’ that’s made up WITH turkey and chicken. The sort of thing you can smear on some toast for a turkey salad sandwich, or load on top of crackers…
