Rainbow Carrot Salad

March 17, 2019 Amanda Plott
rainbow-carrot-salad5.jpg

Spring is well on the way and when the weather starts to turn warm, I start to crave that bright burst of citrus and salad. Namely lemons and anything cool and crunchy. This Rainbow Carrot Salad is one for the books. It’s light, easy to make, and a perfect little side dish for any good weeknight meal.

This Rainbow Carrot Salad is one that I love to serve along side my Crunchy Garlic Baked Chicken, since both have just a touch of that fun lemon zip. The carrots are a good base for this salad. They’re cool and crunchy while being able to soak up all the other flavors going on here…

Skinny Cranberry Orange Cookies

With Thanksgiving over, it’s now time to move on to the next round of Holiday. Christmas is just around the corner, and then it’s New Years! For several years now, my mom and I get together and bake up a few different kinds of cookies together. We each pick a few of our favorites and we make them in tangent to share with friends and family as a fun homemade gift.

Cranberry Orange cookies are always one of my mom’s go-to cookie recipes. They’re sweet, tart, and really are the perfect bite of holiday cheer. I mean… look at them! They just scream fa-la-la-la-l'a’!…

Tropical Chicken Salad & Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette

May 16, 2018 Amanda Plott
tropical-chicken-salad8.jpg

Summer lovin' happened so fast...

This salad was inspired by the one served at a local Mexican Restaurant that I first went to a few years back now. I was first introduced to the salad while at lunch with my Sister-in-Law and Aunt. I think it was of the best salads that I had ever eaten. And that's saying a lot since I have eaten my fair share of salads over my lifetime.

I've haven't been back to that restaurant in a good long while. Maybe that's because a couple of years back I cracked the code on their salad!

Skinny Mimosa Loaf Cake

February 15, 2018 Amanda Plott

Yesterday, The Skinny Fork officially turned 5 years old! Can you believe?! I decided to celebrate the best way that I know how, and that's with mimosas and cake! But, instead of keeping them separate, I put them together into one AMAZING loaf cake.

That's right babes... there's champagne and fresh squeezed orange juice IN this cake TOGETHER. I'm calling it a 'loaf cake' because it's not really a bread, but it's baked as a loaf. Ergo, loaf cake...

Roasted Beet & Pistachio Salad with Citrus Poppyseed Vinaigrette

June 10, 2017 Amanda Plott

Can we just take a moment to enjoy and revel in the natural beauty of this salad? Just take on all the glorious colors that are straight from nature's bounty! Reds, yellows, greens, oh my! This salad is truly one of the most bright and vibrant things you could put on a plate. Naturally. Over the past couple of weeks, I've been collecting a montage of beets from my local produce box and for the first time ever... I got my hands on some golden beets!

Don't worry though, I also have a plethora of traditional red beets too for those traditionalists out there. I love beets. All the beets. Red. Yellow. It doesn't matter. One of my favorite ways to enjoy them is roasted; cooked in the oven in their own yummy juices and then tossed into a salad. For me, there's no better pairing than beets and feta...

Immunity Boosting Sunrise Sipper

This past weekend my mom wanted a very specific drink from a very specific place for part of her breakfast, but come to find out... they don't even make it anymore. Gasp! Shows just about how often my family visits take-out or fast food places anymore. I'm not complaining.

Funny enough, I already had a similar slurp on the menu for the week with a few needed upgrades. In fact, my mom got in trouble for using up some of the orange juice that I had specifically went out and purchased for this exact recipe! She's just lucky that I had enough to do what I wanted and needed...
