Crustless Quiche (Instant Pot)

August 31, 2019 Amanda Plott

So, I’ve had and made my fair share of egg bites in the instant pot, right? That got me to thinking… If I can make egg bites in the instant pot, why can’t I make a quiche in it? Well, as it turns out, you surely can! This quiche is packed with protein and is low in carbs. Plus, it’s keto-friendly and delicious!

This quiche cooks a bit more quickly in the instant pot than it would in the oven. It also comes out with a more ‘fluffy’ texture. Something more akin to an egg bite than a dense quiche…

'Everything' Egg Bites

March 7, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s just been an EVERYTHING kind of week so far. You know? Everything Deviled Eggs. Everything Pigs in a Blanket. And now… Everything Egg Bites!

Sort of like with the Everything Deviled Eggs the other day, I added a touch of cream cheese to the egg bites this time to give that subtle taste and richness that one would get with an everything bagel with cream cheese.

I also put some bacon in there because…everything is better with bacon! And there’s just enough ‘Everything’ seasoning in there to give the flavor without overpowering everything else…

Skinny Chicken Alfredo Dip

October 9, 2018 Amanda Plott

It was a lazy and rainy day yesterday, and after a long 'Fall break’ weekend that was filled with plenty of fun and excitement, it was a good day to rest. I’m honestly not sure I even got out of my pajamas, and neither did my daughter. Yep, that’s just how lazy we were. This Skinny Chicken Alfredo Dip was a perfect rainy day snacky sort of dinner.

Like I said, we were being uber lazy. So cheesy chicken dip for dinner just sounded like it fit. No guilt here though! This Alfredo dip is just about as guilt-free as an Alfredo anything can be. It’s low-carb, delicious, and actually surprisingly easy to make - even from scratch!…

Low-Carb Instant Pot Cheesecake

July 23, 2018 Amanda Plott

Today it's going to be a whopping 107 in Austin, Texas! I'm at that point of summer where it's so hot that I nearly want it to be over, but I'm also not quite ready to end the freedom with the onslaught of another school year for my daughter. Let's face it, there is just something about waking up in the morning naturally and having absolutely nothing on the schedule that's required to be done that day.

So, while it's literally as hot as hell in Texas... That doesn't stop me from wanting the things that I can't have. Or dare not have, anyway. Things that generally require the oven. Things like... cheesecake. Here we have a no-bake cheesecake that still manages to be cooked!…

Low-Carb Spinach & Mushroom Egg Bites (Keto-Friendly!)

May 26, 2018 Amanda Plott

I've been playing around with egg bites for a while now, and I've come up with a few fun flavors to change it up from week to week. Yes, homemade egg bites are generally in my personal regular rotation for one of my usual breakfast options. They are ridiculously easy to make, taste great, and are perfect for meal prepping. Did I mention they're also low-carb, gluten-free, and keto-friendly? Yep! All that too.

This time around, I decided to go with a spinach and mushroom style egg bite. To be honest, I wasn't too sure how well they would turn out since both spinach and mushrooms tend to have a pretty high amount of water in them. But, it ended up working out super well!…

Low-Carb Cauliflower Pizza Dip

May 24, 2018 Amanda Plott

Ever crave pizza but not all the guilt that goes along with it?

Yeah, me too!

I think though, that I may have finally found a way to sate that pizza urge without all the guilt to follow. This cauliflower pizza dip is low-carb, gluten-free, keto-friendly, and... wait for it... absolutely freaking amazing.

You can trust me when I say that no one who eats this dip will ever guess that it's better-for-you in any way, shape, or form. That's because it feels rich and decadent. It feels naughty. It feels so bad... but tastes so good…
