Low-Carb Cauliflower Pizza Dip

May 24, 2018 Amanda Plott

Ever crave pizza but not all the guilt that goes along with it?

Yeah, me too!

I think though, that I may have finally found a way to sate that pizza urge without all the guilt to follow. This cauliflower pizza dip is low-carb, gluten-free, keto-friendly, and... wait for it... absolutely freaking amazing.

You can trust me when I say that no one who eats this dip will ever guess that it's better-for-you in any way, shape, or form. That's because it feels rich and decadent. It feels naughty. It feels so bad... but tastes so good…

Gluten-Free & Vegan Blueberry Peach Cobbler

May 22, 2018 Amanda Plott

It's about this time of year where my fridge is well stocked with fresh fruits and berries. Which is something I am not sad about. And there is little that tickles my pickle more than a homemade cobbler. So, when I got my hot little hands on local fresh blueberries and peaches, I knew it was high time to make a gluten-free and vegan version of a cobbler.

Being as cobbler is typically a fruit based dessert that's baked with a sweet 'crust' layer on top, how does one go about making it gluten-free or vegan? Well, to be honest, it's actually pretty easy! In fact, this has to be one of the most easy cobblers that I've ever made. And that's the truth of it…

Fun Fact: Every man loves bacon.

Father's Day is just around the corner and there's truly no better way to celebrate the man in your life other than with making them a breakfast (or brunch) that they'll never forget! Breakfast-in-bed is a thing of the past. These Whole Wheat Bacon Strip Pancakes deserve a sit down at a table; that's just how good they are.

Another Fun Fact: The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

These Whole Wheat Bacon Strip Pancakes couldn't be easier to make. In fact, it's even a breakfast that you can make ahead and have ready to go on the morning of Father's Day. Even if you don't make them ahead, it's a fairly quick and easy meal to make!…

Strawberry Grain-Free Granola (Gluten-Free too!)

May 18, 2018 Amanda Plott

Holy. Moly. We are well into the 90 degree days here in Austin Texas and summer is nipping at our heels. The house is stifling in the days, and even while the mornings are still decently cool, I am over here preparing for the onslaught that is about to befall us with raging 100 degree + days.

As the weather turns warmer, I'm starting to lean towards the cooler and more refreshing bites for breakfast. Cereals. Yogurts. Fruits. My only problem is that all the good granolas out there cost a pretty penny. That's why I've been opting to make my own. Plus, I love being able to make my own unique flavors and there is nothing more Summery to me than strawberries. Here in Texas, the strawberry season starts in Spring and seems to go almost all Summer long. We even have a festival for strawberries here in the summer! What's up Poteet Strawberry Festival!…

Tropical Chicken Salad & Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette

May 16, 2018 Amanda Plott

Summer lovin' happened so fast...

This salad was inspired by the one served at a local Mexican Restaurant that I first went to a few years back now. I was first introduced to the salad while at lunch with my Sister-in-Law and Aunt. I think it was of the best salads that I had ever eaten. And that's saying a lot since I have eaten my fair share of salads over my lifetime.

I've haven't been back to that restaurant in a good long while. Maybe that's because a couple of years back I cracked the code on their salad!

Skinny White Wedding Cupcakes

Who doesn't love cupcakes, especially white wedding cake style cupcakes. Wedding cake has to be one of my most favorite flavors. Yes, I consider 'wedding cake' a flavor. That could have something to do with the fact that I grew up on 'wedding cake' flavored snow cones during the summer, or just that wedding cake is known for being rich and decadent.

You know... sort of like Christian Grey.

Speaking of Christian Grey, with the final movie of the trilogy coming out, I thought what better time than now to whip up some Skinny White Wedding Cupcakes to eat while watching the movie! There's nothing like celebrating the Fifty Shades wedding than with some wedding cake of your own…
