Classic Cobb Salad

January 21, 2017 Amanda Plott

It's no secret that this week has been kicking my tail, though more so in a humorous way at this point. I couldn't even list out the amount of things that have gone wrong because it's almost been everything that I've been a part of or a hand in. I'm pushing past it though, and rocking it out now that it's the weekend.

Next week will be better because it just has to be.

Food has been my savior this week. There have been few disasters that I've had in the kitchen, with a flop of a recipe and a broken egg splat on my kitchen floor, but still nearly everything has come out tasting amazing. Even if it's not exactly what I had planned out on my menu...

Baked Eggs & Spinach

January 18, 2017 Amanda Plott

I gotta be honest, y'all. I don't feel my best today physically. One of my glands in my neck is huge and swollen and I'm fighting off an optical migraine. So, bare with me! We'll get through this together!

Funny enough, this meal right here has managed to perk me up quite a bit. I'm not feeling as horrible as I did earlier. Maybe part of my problem is that I was hangry? You know... when you're so hungry that you get angry?

When I'm feeling under the weather, I tend to stick to the simple and easy recipes that I know and love. Now, a while back I had made these Italian Baked Eggs. They were new and different and exciting, and I absolutely loved them...

Broccoli & Butternut Squash Omelettata

January 6, 2017 Amanda Plott

Brrrr! It's freezing here in Austin today. No, like... literally it is. I needed an excuse to turn the oven on since that always helps warm the house up and I sure enough found that excuse when trying to figure out what I was going to do with myself for breakfast. I remembered that I had gotten these wonderful farm fresh eggs and local produce yesterday and just knew they would fit the bill.

So, I kicked on my oven and got to work.

I've made an omelettata before, but it's been a while. Almost a year to the day actually! It's pretty funny how things work out sometimes...

Baked Egg & Avocado Bowls

January 2, 2017 Amanda Plott

Drool.

This is an oldie, but a goodie. I originally made these Baked Egg & Avocado Bowls back in 2013! So, to say that the photos needed some updating and the post needed a face-lift would be a bit of an understatement.

I had been wanting to share this recipe ever since I started this blog a whole 5 months before it actually made it into fruition. (That was now nearly 4 years ago! Can you believe it?!) It's super easy, healthy, and yes... tastes every bit amazing as it looks.

Who can say no to a warmed avocado with baked eggs, cheese, and bacon?

Not this girl.

I couldn't 4 years ago, and I still can't today!...

Skinny (2 Ingredient) Cream Cheese Rangoon

December 13, 2016 Amanda Plott

This year, we'll be doing things a little different for Christmas. Instead of our usual mass of cooking, we'll be heading out to enjoy some Asian cuisine on Christmas day. Of course, you know I'm always inspired by the goings-on around me and today is no different. With Asian food on my mind I decided that it was high time for some Cream Cheese Rangoon.

I know, I know... Generally you'll find some sort of meat inside of a rangoon, however... I'm not too big on seafood. So, I always make mine with tofu cream cheese. Sounds interesting, right? Tofu. Cream cheese. Trust me, this stuff is amazing. It looks, tastes, and feels just like traditional cream cheese (but with a lot less calories and obviously dairy free!) so I'm often using it in place of standard cream cheese. Especially if it's involving anything with an Asian flare...

Breakfast Egg Rolls with Sausage Gravy

December 6, 2016 Amanda Plott

I saw this fabulous idea a long time ago on Pinterest, and I just knew that I had to make a version of it for myself. I've never been one for frying things and I will do just about anything I can to lighten up food; whether it be lessening the calories, using more wholesome ingredients, or some other clever way in which I see fit.

These Breakfast Egg Rolls with Sausage Gravy are where it's at! This has to be one of the most tasty and fun breakfasts that I've put together in a good long time, and it's just a pity that I was the only one home this morning to enjoy them. Oh, well... maybe next time I'll have some company over to feed!...
