Skinny Grapefruit Scones

July 28, 2019 Amanda Plott

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, weekends are for baking. …And for brunch!

Way way back when, I made some delicious Summer Strawberry Scones. And while I had half a mind to go back and update that original, I decided to take a slightly different route this time around. Instead I made these Skinny Grapefruit Scones.

As per usual, my mother looked at me like I was a little crazy when I started to make them. Apparently she thinks that grapefruit in scones sounds strange? But, I promise you that it’s not…

Well. Here we are again. Another day, another lunch box option! I told y’all I was going to be sure to have plenty of them for the coming School year. This Italian Roll-Up Lunch is another easy to put together lunch that any Italian food lover is sure to enjoy.

With three layers of Italian meat, provolone cheese and a boat load of veggies, who could turn this amazing little lunch down?…

Skinny Buffalo Chicken Lunchbox

This is a short and not so sweet one today. Not sweet at all. In fact, it’s rather spicy! As we’re getting closer to the start of the school year, I’m doing my best to come up with fun and delicious lunchbox ideas for parents and kids alike. This Skinny Buffalo Chicken Lunchbox is one of my newest favorites.

With being quick and easy to make, this low carb, gluten-free, keto friendly lunch is a real winner, winner, chicken… lunch. I loaded this lunchbox up with plenty of fresh veggies and just as much buffalo chicken. And don’t think for a second that I left out the blue cheese or ranch…

Giant Strawberry Pop-Tart

July 21, 2019 Amanda Plott

Everything’s bigger in Texas… Go BIG or go home… I could keep going with these phrases all day! This GIANT Pop-Tart is the perfect thing to bake on any weekend or otherwise lazy morning. It’s big. It’s beautiful. It’s literally one of the best things to wake up to, and while we’re here in the thick of summer my oven can ONLY be used early in the morning.

So. Here we are.

It’s early on a Sunday morning and I’m up making the biggest Pop-Tart my kitchen has ever seen…

Kid-Friendly Zucchini Sushi

July 19, 2019 Amanda Plott

Ugh… Back-to-school is coming up which is definitely a bittersweet time of year for me. I love having my mini-me around during the summer to plan and do all the fun things together. It’s been a good summer so far. Light and easy, just like this Kid-Friendly Zucchini Sushi!

Unlike traditional sushi, this is completely a kid centric style. You won’t find any raw seafood here. Nope! Just meat, cheese, carrots, and a zucchini shell. These little Kid-Friendly Zucchini Sushi bites are perfect for lunch boxes and finger-food snack or lunch plates…

Tomocado Salad

July 17, 2019 Amanda Plott

If you’re looking for a light and quick salad to make this summer, then look no further! This ‘tomocado salad’ is as quick and easy to make as they come. What’s tomocado? Tomatoes. Mozzarella. And Avocado. Get it? To-Mo-Cado!

What makes this Tomocado Salad even better is that it’s naturally low carb and gluten free. Plus, I mean… who doesn’t want to gorge on cheese and avocado? I should note too that I’m using the term ‘salad’ here pretty loosely since there isn’t actually any lettuce involved. It’s more of a salad in the sense of that it’s a combination of cold fruits/veggies along with some cheese and herbs…
