Low-Carb African Peanut Stew

January 25, 2018 Amanda Plott
peanut-stew10.jpg

I've been wanting to make African Peanut Stew for a good long while now and since I'm soaking up every last drop of the 'cool' weather here in Texas, I thought there would be no better time than now. This stew is hearty. I'm talking... stick to your ribs and fill you up completely. It's a little bit of all the best things. Savory, sweet, spicy, salty, soft, crunchy...

Honestly, I really wasn't sure how I would feel about peanuts in a stew. It's never been something I thought of as being the main component in dinner. But, I was thoroughly impressed with how good it was. ...To the point, that I think this may go into my dinner rotation!...

Grandma's Old-Fashioned Chicken & Dumplings

December 28, 2017 Amanda Plott
old-fashioned-chicken-dumplings14.jpg

This year my family and I decided to do something a little outside of our usual for Christmas and for the first time in as long as I can remember, we went out of town for the holiday. While it was a bit of an undertaking to pack up everything involved and schlep it all the way from Texas to Oklahoma, I would have to say that the venture was well worth it. Even with the 5-hour trip home taking nearly 8 hours.

We were visiting my Uncle Johnnie and my Aunt Mildred who lives there. This is where I should probably explain that he is really my mother's uncle and more of a grand or great uncle to me - however that title would actually work is beyond me! He and I always seem to reminisce about one particular thing, my Great Grandma, and her amazing simple old-fashioned southern cooking. The sort you really don't come across anymore...

This shop has been compensated by Mike’s Hard Lemonade. All opinions are mine alone. The below message is intended for ages 21+.

Being a mom during the holidays isn’t just busy… it’s STRESSFUL. Somewhere between all the shopping, cooking, and party planning, the magic of the Holidays can be lost. No one wants to have a blue Christmas. That's why I've brightened things up and made the holidays fun again with this Spiked Lemon Pepper Chicken Salad.

This chicken salad is bright, bold and full of flavor. It makes a great grab-and-go snack or part of a meal during this busy time of year and is even better as a holiday party appetizer. It's an easy, quick-to-toss-together, nosh-worthy bite...

Keto Low-Carb Chicken Egg Foo Young

December 16, 2017 Amanda Plott
egg-foo-young10.jpg

So... my power went out for over an hour this morning and I was really starting to go into panic mode. My chicken for this Egg Foo Young was sitting... par cooked in my pressure cooker for the whole time. Thankfully, it still turned out. I guess the pressure inside the pot kept it at a safe temperature until the power came back on and I could restart the cooking process.

Even with the flub-up with the power, these Egg Foo Young egg cakes turned out amazing. It's hard to say when or where the first time was that I had Egg Foo Young. All I know is that it's yummy delicious heavenly goodness in the form of an Asian flavor powerbomb of eggy and vegetable bliss...

Collard Green (Tortilla-Free) Enchiladas

October 30, 2017 Amanda Plott
collard-enchiladas4.jpg

These enchiladas aren't quite naked. But, they are pretty close.

Over the past couple of weeks, I've gotten a lot of local collard green leaves in my farm box that I just wasn't too sure what to do with. They're HUGE leaves too, and while most people in the south chope them up and cook them forever... I really wanted to make as much use out of their enormous size as I could manage.

When in doubt, make it into an enchilada...

Fall Harvest Salad with Pesto Vinaigrette

October 9, 2017 Amanda Plott
fall-harvest-salad6.jpg

Holy moly! It's been a busy weekend over here. I'm ready for the monotony of a Monday. For sure. It's still pretty warm here in Texas, so while the weather is working on slowly cooling off, I'm working on salads still over here.

Of course, I still need to get my fix of Fall inspired veggies. So... I decided to load this salad up with plenty of Fall-friendly veg. I started this salad off with a base of baby spinach. It's one of my most favorite salad starters, and I think that's because it's such a versatile and nutritional green...
