Blueberry Oat Bars

February 25, 2019 Amanda Plott

I think, just like most out there, I generally go in and out of wanting sweet or savory for breakfast. Most days, savory wins out. This week though, I was in a sweets sort of mood! These Blueberry Oat Bars couldn’t have hit the spot any better. They’re sweet, tart, and perfectly acceptable for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert!

These oat bars are surprisingly easy to make, with really just a handful of pretty standard staple items too. There’s little mixing and no cooking involved. Just a few stirs and some time to bake. Plus, they’re low sodium, vegetarian, and dairy-free too. Good stuff all around…

Bowls are all the rage right now. Breakfast bowls. Lunch Bowls. Dinner bowls. Healthy bowls! Fortunately, this bowl can be either of those. One of the best parts about this bowl though is that it’s super easy to put together. This bowl starts with some cooked quinoa and is layered with greens, avocado, pesto, and of course - an egg!

Everything’s better with an egg on it, right?…

New Year resolutions can be tricky and difficult to stick to. It seems like it’s about this time when we all start to taper off and give in. If you’re anything like me, my New Year resolutions are always centered around food. Food is life, after all. Even being as I’m more of a health conscious person, I always, always, ALWAYS strive to do better and eat better. That’s where these Overnight Oats fit in.

As I said, one of my resolutions this year was to eat more simply. Food can get complicated and I want to take the time to slow down, reel it in, and enjoy food for what it is. Yep! I left my resolution pretty vague and open. That’s one of the tricks to sticking to these resolutions!…

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.

Skinny Mushroom & Asparagus Omelette

I’ve got to be honest. I’ve been skipping out on breakfast for a while now. With school starting back up after the winter break and a terrible head cold running rampant through the house… There just hasn’t been enough time in the day to fuss with breakfast. And the whole point of breakfast is just that… to break-the-fast of the night of sleeping.

They don’t say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day for no reason. It’s there to start your day off and get you in gear for the rest of the day. Trust me when I say that being ‘hangry’ is a real thing. Finally, I made plans this week to stick to my guns and be SURE that I started my day off right with actually eating breakfast again….

Western Omelette Crustless Quiche

December 28, 2018 Amanda Plott

Now that the holidays are coming to a close for the year, I know that we’ve all got our fair share of leftover turkey and/or ham in our freezers. This is one of my FAVORITE times of year for this VERY reason. And considering there was a little bit of a communication failure over Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner, I’ve ended up with a BUNCH of leftovers.

You don’t see me complaining about that though. I love to make leftover rewind recipes, especially with leftover holiday meats. They always make for a super favorable, easy, and amazing second recipe. So what’s the first thing that comes to mind with leftovers? Casseroles? Soups? For me, it’s quiche!…
