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.)...

Baked Eggs in a Zucchini Nest

December 12, 2017 Amanda Plott

Wakey-wakey eggs and bakey! This mornings breakfast is brought to you by, leftovers! Okay, maybe not exactly leftovers but an accumulation of things that I indeed had leftover in my fridge that went unused through the week in some way shape or form.

For instance, the original plan for the spiralized zucchini was for zoodles in a vegan Pho. The same goes for the mushrooms. I'm not entirely sure why the tomatoes were untouched, but somehow everything always works out in the end. Just like these Baked Eggs in a Zucchini Nest!...

Harvest Vegetable Soup

October 4, 2017 Amanda Plott

And then just like that, it was soup season.

We're getting into that time of year when winter squash and hearty vegetables are in season, and one of my favorite ways to use them up is a good soup! This soup is full of the bounties of a Fall harvest.

It's completely vegetarian and as filling as they come. Plus, it's completely guilt-free and feeds a crowd a pretty hefty sized bowl of soup...

We made it! I finally got back from our end of the summer spur of the moment vacation road trip across two states with just myself, my mom, and my little girl. It was a blast! The girl trip that we've always wanted with three of our four current generations of ladies among my family. That being said, we literally got home with one day between us and back-to-school! Talk about flying in hot.

What else does back-to-school mean? Meal time chaos at it's finest. Add in a touch of being exhausted from the trip and you've got the perfect mix for bringing in my favorite wing mom. The Baroness...

Caprese Omelette

July 27, 2017 Amanda Plott

It's grocery shopping day, which means that I have absolutely nothing in my house other than the leftovers and things that weren't used up through the week. With a hungry household, what's a girl to do? Improvise!

Somehow one of the dinners that I had planned wasn't even made. What can I say? It's summer and we're flying by the seat of our pants here on somedays. A good thing for fun, but a bad thing for planning. Whatever caprese salad I had intended on making just didn't fit into our shenanigans... so, caprese style breakfast it is...

The end of Mermaid week is upon us! I've saved the best for last with this Mermaid 'Seaweed' Wrap. There is a long history behind this wrap too! It's special to my family because it's been in the summer rotation for about 5 years now! Yep. That's just how good this wrap is. One thing I love most about it is that it's so versatile; making the perfect lunch box addition, summer lunch or even as a light dinner. It's perfectly 'meal prep' friendly and full of wholesome goodness.

I've dubbed it the 'seaweed' wrap since I like to use the bright and colorful spinach tortilla to wrap everything all up in. On the inside, I've loaded this wrap up with plenty of fun and vibrant mermaid inspired bits. The first layers are hummus and a low fat cream cheese, followed by carrots, tomatoes, spinach, and my favorite part, Chopped Eckrich Honey Cured Ham! It's all pulled together with some reduced fat feta and rolled to perfection...
