Low-Carb Chicken Egg Roll Bowl (Keto-Friendly)

February 25, 2018 Amanda Plott

Alright, so I've been playing around with this recipe for a few months now. I keep telling myself every time I make it, that I'm going to take the pictures and post it up here. But, for one reason or another, it just hasn't worked out until now!

One of the problems has honestly been that this egg roll bowl is just so good that it's hard to not be scarfing on it long before you ever even make it to the table. It literally tastes like the filling of an egg roll, and we all know that's the best part of the egg roll...

Skinny Irish Apple Cake

Yaaay, St. Patrick's Day is coming. Maybe it's some of my Irish heritage or something to do with it being my Dad's birthday, but I really do enjoy St. Patrick's Day more than most. I can honestly say that it has absolutely nothing to do with green beer. Now, if they had green wine... that might be another story.

So every year I like to dive into Irish recipes leading up to St. Patrick's Day. I've made Corned Beef, Shepherd's Pie, Irish Soda Bread, Irish Cream Donuts, and so much more. This year though, I wanted to get in there and make another Irish sweet treat. So, Irish Apple Cake it is! It's a tender cake, similar to a coffee cake, that's loaded LOADED up with apples...

Low-Carb Bacon & Cheddar Sous Vide Egg Bites (Instant Pot)

February 21, 2018 Amanda Plott

If you haven't been struck by the Sous Vide Egg Bites bug yet, then you don't know what you're missing! My first experience with egg bites was at none other than Starbucks after hearing all the hoopla surrounding them. And let me just say, they did not disappoint. They're soft and fluffy and full of yummy little bits of flavor bomb awesomeness.

Being as they were a little costly though, I thought I could do myself a service and find a way to make them for myself at home; allowing me to change up the flavors and save me a few dollars along the way...

Baked Amish Overnight Oatmeal

As I think back, I'm not sure when or how I got turned on to Amish Oatmeal. But, I do know that it was pretty much an instant hit with my family. It's quick and easy to prepare with just a handful of basic kitchen staples that soak together overnight to bake up beautifully the next morning.

So, what is Amish Oatmeal anyway? Well, it's sort of a cross between oatmeal and bread pudding. Eggs, vanilla and milk are whisked together to create the 'custard' that the oatmeal is baked in.

Zucchini Noodle Spaghetti

Many years ago I started making my own spaghetti sauce. Don't get me wrong, jarred spaghetti sauce has it's place and time in my life too. But, when given the option, I will always prefer making my own. I've made several types and kind. Some in the crockpot, others with meatballs, this one though is easy, simple and full of tomato flavor.

This Zucchini Noodle Spaghetti is a perfect weeknight dinner to make when you're looking for something quick and easy that is also guilt-free and a more wholesome option. The sauce here is loaded up with big hearty chunks of tomato, onion, garlic, and fresh basil (the secret weapon.)...

Skinny Mimosa Loaf Cake

February 15, 2018 Amanda Plott

Yesterday, The Skinny Fork officially turned 5 years old! Can you believe?! I decided to celebrate the best way that I know how, and that's with mimosas and cake! But, instead of keeping them separate, I put them together into one AMAZING loaf cake.

That's right babes... there's champagne and fresh squeezed orange juice IN this cake TOGETHER. I'm calling it a 'loaf cake' because it's not really a bread, but it's baked as a loaf. Ergo, loaf cake...
