Crock Pot Turkey & Cranberry Meatballs

December 23, 2018 Amanda Plott
cranberry-meatballs8.jpg

This is an older recipe that needed it’s photos updated in a bad way. Nothing changed about it except for that! So without further adieu… here’s the original post with brand-spanking-new images!

It seems like I can't seem to have a traditional Thanksgiving anymore. Last year it was decided that we wouldn't be doing the cooking, and instead we went out to a nice restaurant to enjoy the day footloose and fancy-free. This year? We'll be (hopefully) tailgating at the UT game here in Austin. Sounds like a blast, right? Right?!

At first, I was anything but excited when this prospect came across my ears, but after some careful research and lots of thought on it... I soon became pretty excited about it! After all, this will be my first UT game and I've lived here for a good three years now. Plus, my brother is in his last year of college as a Longhorn - which makes the fact that I haven't been to a game yet even more shameful.

So what does all this mean? Game day versions of my usual Turkey Day meal!…

Skinny Hot Cocoa Cookies

December 20, 2018 Amanda Plott

Cookies are in season right now, and these Skinny Hot Cocoa Cookies are where it’s at! Their a cocoa flavored chocolate cookie base that’s loaded up with plenty of white chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, and YES even marshmallows. It’s basically like eating a mug of hot cocoa… if you eat them warm and fresh out of the oven especially!

Even with the naughty bits that are in here, these cookies are sill just over 100 calories each. And what’s better, is that they are actually pretty easy to make! Sometimes cookies can be overly complicated and involved. Not these baddies…

Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Monkey Bread

December 18, 2018 Amanda Plott

Alright, alright… so… monkey bread has been an obsession of mine lately. I admit it! I can’t help it. There’s just something about that warm fluffy bread that’s baked together with a bunch of ‘naughty’ bits. Of course, this monkey bread is a bit different. It’s savory instead of sweet. Bacon, egg, and cheese… to be sure!

That’s right. Monkey bread that has bacon, eggs, and cheese baked RIGHT into it! This fun little breakfast bite is perfect for a crowd or a brunch time spread. Mostly because… who doesn’t love bacon and eggs?!…

Skinny Jalapeño Popper Deviled Eggs

Last weekend when my family and I made the 3 hour round-trip out of the way just for a coffee cake, we had the delight of meeting the woman behind said amazing coffee cakes after several years of ordering from her. She was the SWEETEST lady ever and as we were picking up our cakes from her home, she was in the middle of cooking what she called ‘wash day’ dinner.

So what is wash day dinner? Well, it’s a simple old-fashioned southern inspired meal that they used to cook on… you guessed it, wash day! Usually it’s a pot of beans, cornbread, a cobbler, and some deviled eggs. A perfect meal for a cool almost winter day!…

Eggnog Bread Breakfast Sandwich

This past week, I got my hands on some delicious ‘tipsy’ cranberry jam that is made here locally. And since I already had some egg nog bread sitting on my counter ready to go, I thought I should find some clever way to put the two together!

While this sandwich isn’t exactly conventional, it takes a page out of that ‘mcgriddle’ play book. Putting the two powerhouses of sweet and savory into each and every bite. The sweet being the egg nog bread and the jam and the savory being the bacon and the egg with cheese…

Skinny Eggnog Bread

It’s been a while since I made some homemade bread. And being that it’s baking season, I thought it was high time to made another loaf! I’ve been without my hand dandy bread machine for a long time, so that means that any bread requiring yeast is pretty much out of the question. Yeast, outside of a bread machine use, scares me!

Don’t worry though! If yeast breads intimidate you too, then this Skinny Eggnog Bread is a perfect yeast-free option that is easy to toss together, and requires no kneading and very little hands-on time…
