5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Granola

January 11, 2019 Amanda Plott

I’m telling y’all. I’m still working on my breakfast game. Sometimes a girl just wants something savory. And sometimes… it’s the sweets being craved. Today I was craving a little bit of both. Something sweet. Something salty. And definitely something crunchy! That’s where this easy-peasy 5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Granola comes in!

With just 5 ingredients and 5 minutes or hands on time, you too can have this delish granola in your life. And why not? Granola can be expensive and full of things you don’t like, don’t want, and/or don’t care about. Not this granola.

Vegan Black-Eyed Pea Salad

January 3, 2019 Amanda Plott

Who the hell ever said that black-eyed peas had to just be a New Year’s day thing? Yes, I’m deliberately posting this recipe AFTER the first of the year to be a bit of a rebel.

Every year in my house, it’s the same old debate. What do we do with black-eyed peas to make them more edible. Let’s face it, black-eyed peas earned their nickname ‘dirt peas’ for a reason. Over the years, I’d like to think that I’ve come up with a few clever ways.

This year though, with a cold running rampant through the house… something FRESH and light sounded like what we all needed…

Mediterranean Snack Box

November 9, 2018 Amanda Plott

I am completely under the weather today. I’m still not completely sure if it’s the weather, allergies, or if I just flat out have a cold. Nothing much is going to keep me from doing my thing though, so on with the show! Whilst my throat, face, and most of my body hurts… I’ve opted to keep the meals this week simple.

This Mediterranean Snack Box isn’t really a recipe, but more so a meal prep option for lunch! Plus, I have a few hummus recipes that would go perfectly in this box. The 5 Ingredient Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is one of my favorites. But that Roasted Beat Hummus has got to be the most pretty!…

Skinny Chicken Alfredo Dip

October 9, 2018 Amanda Plott

It was a lazy and rainy day yesterday, and after a long 'Fall break’ weekend that was filled with plenty of fun and excitement, it was a good day to rest. I’m honestly not sure I even got out of my pajamas, and neither did my daughter. Yep, that’s just how lazy we were. This Skinny Chicken Alfredo Dip was a perfect rainy day snacky sort of dinner.

Like I said, we were being uber lazy. So cheesy chicken dip for dinner just sounded like it fit. No guilt here though! This Alfredo dip is just about as guilt-free as an Alfredo anything can be. It’s low-carb, delicious, and actually surprisingly easy to make - even from scratch!…

Spooky scary skeleton! … …I have no idea. It’s a song that my daughter sings. While these aren’t skeletons, or made of bones, these 'Tombstone' Pizza Pockets are super cute and rather easy to make too! What’s better is that YOU get to decide what goes in them and their shape - unlike those frozen-to-microwave ones. You know the ones I’m talking about. The ones filled with a bunch of scary sounding yuck.

These cute little pizza pockets are made with a whole wheat dough and are filled with the basics of any pepperoni pizza; sauce, cheese, and pepperoni! Yep. That’s basically it. A few traditional pizza favorites in a perfect and festive little pocket!…

Skinny Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Dip

September 9, 2018 Amanda Plott

Sometimes, you just feel like having snacks and appetizer style things for dinner. Or maybe that's just me and my family? This weekend has been a rainy one, and I'm not about to complain about that. We've been needing the rain and the cool off from the blaring Texas sun. Even so! With being stuck indoors and games and movies being the fun of the weekend, I thought it would be perfect for an appetizer night.

For whatever reason, rain always leaves me craving Mexican food. Namely enchiladas. That's why I went with this Skinny Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Dip as part of our rainy day spread. This dip tastes just like those famous cream cheese chiclen enchladas that we all know and love. The only difference is that this dip is guilt-free!
