Skinny Italian 'Fire Sticks'

February 12, 2016 Amanda Plott

Here is another healthier take on a favorite 'take-out fake-out' or restaurant 'copy cat' kind of recipe. There's this chain Italian style restaurant that serves these amazing 'Sicilian Fire Sticks' (or at least they used to the last time I went there - well over a year ago now.) They were always one of my most favorite things to order.

These fire sticks are large and in charge and full of flavor. And considering that one of my complete fire sticks is less calories than the original restaurant's tortilla alone... I think I'll stick to staying at home and making these for myself.

For those of you that aren't familiar with what a fire stick is, it's basically an Italian version of a flouts or taquito. A crispy tortilla surrounding a yummy mixture of meats, pepper, and melted cheese...

Healthified Hangover Soup

I'm getting things ready around here to go on a trip this weekend to the Texas Renaissance Festival. Yes, I'm one of those women that dresses up in a tightly bound corset and faerie wings. Any excuse to play dress up... is a good excuse! Not only am I going to the Masquerade Ball this year, I'll also be going to the King's Feast for the very first time. At both events, you're served a plentiful bounty of food and either beer or wine.

Bring it on. I take no shame in the fact that I like my vino.

At any rate, I'm making this soup this week in honor of my galavanting to take place this weekend... even though I am hoping that I don't actually end up with a hangover. It'd be the first time in a few years, I think!...

Crock Pot Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya

June 23, 2014 Amanda Plott

Today, I was lucky enough to have an expert chef join me in my kitchen. Her lifetime of knowledge and her very particular palette are what I aim to please with each dish I create. She is my inspiration through and through!

Yes. That's right... Chef Lily spent some of her very valuable time lending me a hand with dinner...

Skinny Italian Stuffed Peppers (Crock Pot)

June 18, 2014 Amanda Plott

I've had a few stuffed peppers in the past. When I was younger, I remember my mom making some spanish style stuffed peppers that I thought were pretty good even though at the time I wasn't a huge pepper fan.

Oh, how times have changed.

These stuffed peppers are pretty amazing and ridiculously easy to do. With around 10-15 minutes of preparation, you can have these babies set to cook through the day in your crock pot with hardly any fuss at all!...

Skinny Cheesy Green Chile Sausage Gravy

May 27, 2014 Amanda Plott

A few words that you don't normally see in a description together? Skinny, cheesy, and gravy. But, somehow I've managed to pull it off. This gravy is so full of vegetables and lean sausage that you can absolutely afford the cheese that's in there.

Seriously. This stuff is pretty addicting.

The first time that I made this recipe was last week to go along with my 3 Ingredient Biscuits as a test. I've never made a gravy before, much less one that was healthified or skinny at all. So, I was a bit skeptical that I what I had planned would turn out at all...
