Skinny Strawberry Banana Poke Cake

August 29, 2018 Amanda Plott

It's been a really long time since I made any sort of a cake, especially a poke cake. And with the end of summer on our heels, I thought I might throw a few more good strawberry recipes into the mix before they are too far out of season. This Skinny Strawberry Banana Poke Cake starts off with a lightened up strawberry cake that's made with a simple boxed mix that we're upgrading just a bit.

So, what's a poke cake? It's basically exactly what it sounds like. A baked cake that you poke holes in. This time around though, we're filling those holes with some banana pudding and then topping everything off with some coolwhip. This style of cake makes for one delicious treat that's perfectly decadent…

Healthy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

May 9, 2018 Amanda Plott

A long, long time ago, when I was new to this wide world of cooking and sharing my recipes... I made these Healthy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies for National Oatmeal Cookie Day. ...And boy-oh-boy am I ever glad that I did. This recipe right here has been on the top 10 most viewed recipes here for almost the entire existence of The Skinny Fork. There's a reason for that too. These cookies are AMAZING.

They are gluten-free, low-carb, vegetarian, vegan, and naturally GUILT FREE. It's a bonus too that they're so quick and easy to make. You will wonder from this point on how you ever lived without them.

Healthy cookies. Sounds like an oxymoron, right?…

Vegan Bananadoodle Cookies

March 9, 2018 Amanda Plott

Once upon a time I went to a place and tried a bananadoodle cookie, much against my will, and I liked it. No. Nope. No, no scratch that. I LOVED it. It was truly one of the best cookies that I had ever eaten. And that's saying a lot because I am a cookie fiend. I was completely surprised with how much I enjoyed the cookie. Mostly because out of all the cookies in the world, snickerdoodles are probably one of my least favorites.

I think I must find them bland or boring when compared to just about any cookie that's usually loaded up with extra naughty bits like chocolate chips.

Winter Citrus & Honey Power Breakfast

January 21, 2018 Amanda Plott

I guess you could say that this is one bee-utiful breakfast. Ba-dum-psshh! Okay. Seriously though? Let's talk about this power breakfast right here. It's winter right now and there's a plethora of fresh winter citrus going around. Right now is one of the few times of year that you'll find blood oranges out and about.

Don't be scared either. They're called blood oranges because of their usual deep red splotched on their peel and their rich ruby red color of fruit inside. If you've seen or had blood orange juice before, you know what I mean. Along with blood oranges, the grapefruits are HUGE right now too. Just the way I like 'em. Big and juicy...

Cocoa Banana Cherry Power Bowl

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Sejoyia, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #CocoRoonsAtWalmart http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

I don't know about you, but I'm still settling into the school day routine all over again. It's hit me hard this year. I guess because my little girl was eagerly sleeping in pretty decently in the summer and now all the sudden it's a 6 am wakeup call to drag her out of bed. She isn't like me. She isn't a morning person.

It's easy (even for me) in the midst of chaotic mornings to not eat as well as I should, or even *GASP* eat nothing at all. Recently I got my hands on these Sejoyia Coco-Roons and I gotta say, they are perfectly portable, popable, mom-friendly, guilt-free snacks. But, I decided to take them a step further from snacking today to include them in this Cocoa Banana Cherry Power Bowl!...

Mermaid Smoothie

It's hot here in Texas. Like... real hot. As in, I can't use my oven anymore sort of hot. As in... your only escape right now is a body of water. Hm... that gets me thinking. About what, you ask? MERMAIDS. I've been head-over-heels in love with Unicorns for a while now. Buuut, when the summer rolls around, the inner mermaid in me comes out. It's time to splash around and have some fun!

This mermaid smoothie is the perfect summer treat. And what's better is that it will keep your figure seashell ready all season long while keeping you full and completely satisfied. It doesn't hurt that it's as pretty as a mermaid to boot. Tasty, healthy, and beautiful too? Yep! It's a winner all the way around...
