The Forking Skinny Dinner Plan (Week 4)

June 10, 2016 Amanda Plott

Below is this week's dinner plan!

Don't forget to snap pictures of your meals and tag The Skinny Fork on Facebook or Instagram. I love seeing your finished meals!

These dinner plans are based off of a 4 person family and include the meal plan and shopping list for your convenience.

I've also 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....

5 Ingredient Skinny Summer Vegetable Dip

June 8, 2016 Amanda Plott

It's getting warm here in Texas, though I'll be the first one to say that so far we've had a perfectly mild summer. Usually by now we are well into 100+ degrees days, and so far we've barely broken past the 90's. No, that's not a complaint either! It's these perfect summer days that I love to spend out in my backyard entertaining. Whether that means my little family or the whole lot of us.

No matter who's around, it's always about 'what to eat' and this 5 Ingredient Skinner Summer Vegetable Dip is the perfect spread! I've loaded this dip up with bell pepper, jalapeño (for taste - not heat), sweet summer corn, and olives! I know, bare with me, it might sound like a rather creative and interesting combination... and it is! It's completely amazing and full of flavor. You'll fall in love from the first taste...

Skinny PB&J Parfait

That's right. It's 'Peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time...'

This is for those of you out there that looove peanut butter and jelly! And trust me, I know there's a lot of you out there. Peanut butter and jelly has always been one of my most favorite sandwiches and flavor combinations. Over the years I've made it into cookies, candy, cupcakes and more.

Since this Skinny PB&J Parfait is about three years old now, I decided that it needed a little bit of a make over. Not only has my style of cooking and creating recipes changed, but my photography skills hopefully have too!...

Healthified Chili Cheese Dog Bake

June 2, 2016 Amanda Plott

For me, this week has been full of a lot of the 'American' greats; pizza, taco night, BLT sandwiches, and now this awesome Chili Cheese Dog Bake. After all, nothing says classic American like a chili cheese dog, except maybe an apple pie!

This is definitely one of those easy-peasy weeknight meals that you can throw together and have ready in 30 minutes or less; leaving you with a tasty, economical, filling and rather guilt-free dinner. Yeah, it sort of hits all the marks there. You're welcome!...

Veggie & Hummus Pinwheels

May 31, 2016 Amanda Plott

Last week I made my own homemade 5 Ingredient Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, and I made a pretty tasty wrap using it. Since the wrap got a really good response over on Facebook, I decided that I would go ahead and post my actual recipe for it. The only change that I've made is making the wrap into pinwheels so that it could be served as either an appetizer or a fun little 'snackable' lunch option. Plus, let's face it... they are so bright and colorful this way!

These little wheels of awesome are packed with plenty of fresh vegetables and lots of flavor. The secret is in the hummus spread, and of course you can't go wrong with adding feta cheese to anything in my opinion...
