Eggnog Bread Breakfast Sandwich

December 14, 2018 Amanda Plott
egg-nog-breakfast-sandwich10.jpg

This past week, I got my hands on some delicious ‘tipsy’ cranberry jam that is made here locally. And since I already had some egg nog bread sitting on my counter ready to go, I thought I should find some clever way to put the two together!

While this sandwich isn’t exactly conventional, it takes a page out of that ‘mcgriddle’ play book. Putting the two powerhouses of sweet and savory into each and every bite. The sweet being the egg nog bread and the jam and the savory being the bacon and the egg with cheese…

Easy Peanut Butter & Jelly Waffles

August 16, 2017 Amanda Plott
pbj-waffles3.jpg

It never fails. Every year around back-to-school, I get stuck on the notion of PB&Js. In the past, I've made parfaits, oat bars, and even sandwich cookies in the theme of PB&J. This time thought, I wanted to put a spin on an old breakfast classic. The waffle!

Of course, speed and ease are a huge thing with back-to-school. Especially in those first couple of weeks when you're busy getting back into the routine and setting yourself and your kids up for a successful school year. It's a lot of work, mommas. I know it! That's why I wanted to make these Easy Peanut Butter & Jelly Waffles...

PB&J Oat Bars

September 1, 2016 Amanda Plott

So, there isn't much that makes me think of back-to-school and childhood other than the flavors of a good peanut butter and jelly. I've never felt inclined to limit PB&J to a mere sandwich though. In fact, one of my most favorite ways to enjoy peanut butter and jelly is in the form of a parfait. Seriously, it's good stuff. I'm a firm believer that you just can't go wrong when you mix the sweet and salty taste pf peanut butter with the tartness of fresh fruits.

Today I wanted to step outside the box even further to make these amazing PB&J Oat Bars. These would make for a perfect snack, an addition to a lunchbox, or even as breakfast; which is how I've been enjoying them all week long! Back-to-school as been crazy and this grab-and-go bar has been exactly what I needed. I've actually enjoyed them so much that I'm planning to make them again next week!...

Healthified No Bake Thumbprint Cookies

July 18, 2016 Amanda Plott

So, today I decided to be a bit lazy and go the no bake route. I mean... it's 100 degrees here in Texas and I sure don't want to turn my oven or stove on anymore than I need to. That being said, sometimes a girl just needs a sweet treat or a cookie to make it through the day! This is definitely the best of both worlds right here.

These no bake thumbprint cookies are so super easy to whip and I don't even need to heat my kitchen up at all to enjoy them! The best part is that they are basically as clean as cookies can come! Using oat and nut flours instead of wheat, also means they are gluten-free!...

Mixed Berry Chia Jam (Sponsored)

My mom and I are all about themes, and anyone that knows the two of us will tell you that through and through. Whether it's birthday parties, get togethers, or sometimes even just movie nights at home. It's a trait that I'm instilling in my daughter too as she gets older.

One of my little one's favorite movies of this summer, Minions © 2015 Universal Studios. All rights reserved., just came out on December 8th to own. I just knew that we were going to have to whip up a fun family friendly movie night in honor of it. So, Illumination Entertainment's Minions movie is the inspiration for this Mixed Berry Chia Jam.

For me, the first thing that comes to mind for me when I think of those cuddly little yellow characters is that famous jam scene. The one all about Mr. Gru's Old Fashioned Jelly in Despicable Me when we're first introduced to the minions...

Strawberry & Peach Chia Jam

May 30, 2013 Amanda Plott

​​Chia seeds are rather fascinating to me. I've often seen them tossed into rather healthy and often the most simple of recipes. They are really fun to play around with.

Don't be scared of them if you've never tried them! My mom is a little leery since the only other time she heard of them was back when 'Chia Pets' were popular.​ I suppose she's scared she'll start to sprout foliage. Anyway, I can't wait for her to try this jam!...
