Reuben Pizza

March 13, 2019 Amanda Plott

Two things are staple dinners in this house almost every week. And that’s tacos (on Tuesdays) and pizza! Yep. That’s right. I eat pizza. A lot of it too. Not a lot as in amount, but a lot as in often. I guess that’s what happens when you have a kid. Pizza and tacos.

I can put almost anything on a pizza crust and it’ll get eaten. And with St. Patrick’s day being a family favorite holiday, I thought now would be the best time to make a reuben inspired pizza! For those of you that may not know, a reuben is a sandwich that’s typically made on a rye bread with pastrami, swiss, sauerkraut, and a thousand island dressing. It’s good stuff!…

Why do potatoes get such a bad rap these days? They’re rather low in calories and truly one of the most versatile things out there. I mean… sure, they aren’t the lowest in carbs. But low carbs isn’t always a good thing. Unless that’s just what you or your body need!

For me? As a busy mom. Potatoes have always been a staple. And let me just say that I’ve made my fair share of homemade bakes fries and potatoes of all kinds in the past. There are definitely a few tricks and tips that I’ve picked up a long the way to make for some really stellar potato wedges…

The BIG football game is upon us THIS weekend, y’all! My family and I are already busy making gamely spread plans. I decided though, that I need to have a practice run this weekend though to test out this new recipe. And it worked out so well that I just HAD to share it right away. I mean… how can you go wrong with a 3 ingredient wonder?

How can you go wrong with stuffed Jalapeños? Or cheese? Or bacon? The simple answer is… you can’t! These Jalapeños aren’t stuffed with any cheese though. Nope! They’re stuffed with none other than pimento cheese. Don’t know what that is? Well, you should! Pimento cheese is a southern staple that’s made with shredded cheese, pimentos, and a few other things. It can be used as a spread on a sandwich or even a dip for crackers…

Gameday, gameday, gameday - oh my! The big gameday is just around the corner and honestly… I can’t wait! Not that I really follow or watch football a whole damn lot. But, I still enjoy THE BIG ONE and all of the fun gameday food that comes along with it. The commercials and halftime performance don’t hurt either.

It’s about this time every year that I start to go through and put together at least a few fun new gameday recipes. And this Skinny Bacon Cheeseburger Dip is topping the charts. Now, I know what you might be thinking… Cheeseburger as a dip? Well, why the hell not?…

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….

With Super Bowl just around the corner, it’s high time to start getting down with those gamely inspired recipes! Gameday food is some of the BEST food. But, when you’re trying to stick to your New Year’s resolutions, it can be a challenge to find a balance between the two! Being as I’m a huge fan of a decent gameday spread, I know exactly what to do.

As part of my New Year’s resolutions, I’m choosing to eat a lot more veggies. Fresh veggies. That’s why I decided to make this DELICIOUS and nutritious triple layer dip. It’s three layers of yummy stuff that you and I both can feel good about serving and enjoying!…
