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?!…

Eggnog Bread Breakfast Sandwich

December 14, 2018 Amanda Plott

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…

Skinny Gingerbread Granola

‘Tis the season. …Gingerbread season, that is!

Gingerbread is the spice of life, especially as we get closer to Christmas and the New Year. I took a leap of faith last week and ordered some vegan almond ‘egg nog’ from one of my favorite almond milk creators. They’re local here to me in Austin Texas, and while I like the flavor of egg nog… raw egg in my drink sorta… freaks me out a little bit.

So with my vegan almond milk in hand, I decided that I needed some granola to go with it. I’ve made a lot of granola lately. Most of them have been keto-friendly, grain-free, gluten-free, and the like. This one though? This one is more of a traditional oat granola. Though, it’s east enough to make it gluten-free!…

Skinny Cranberry Bliss Bread

I’ve somehow done it, y’all. I’ve somehow managed to wear myself out on pumpkin for a bit. I don’t know how, I don’t know when, and I really don’t like it. But… at least in the meantime while I recuperate, I can play around with cranberries now!

I don’t know about the rest of the country, but here in Austin Texas… the allergies are killing everyone right now. ‘Tis the season, I guess. So while I’m a little under the weather (pun intended) and my throat is aching, I thought it would be a nice time to make a fluffy warm breakfast bread.

Baking therapy anyone?…

Skinny Strawberry Pop-Tart Cobbler

November 1, 2018 Amanda Plott

Sometimes… you get a wild idea and you just have to go with it. This Skinny Strawberry Pop-Tart Cobbler was definitely one such idea. I had come across a fun idea for a strawberry pop-tart pie, but.. to be completely honest with you, homemade pie crust scares me. So, I started to think back to this summer when I made a few delicious and easy cobblers. Then BOOM lightening struck and the world made sense.

…Why not make the strawberry pop-tart into a cobbler instead?

If you’ve ever had a pop-tart before, then you know you’re in for a big treat here. The strawberry ‘filling’ part of this cobbler is meant to taste just like the strawberry ‘filling’ that you’d find in a pop-tart…
