Zucchini Taco Skillet

October 16, 2019 Amanda Plott

Sometimes on Taco Tuesday, you just want to try something a little more outside of the box. This Zucchini Taco Skillet is not only delicious, but it’s a one pot wonder and about as guilt free as you can get in the taco department.

This taco skillet starts off with ground beef and some onions. Pretty standard stuff. Then there’s tomatoes, black beans, zucchini, and of course cheese! Plenty of cheese to go around too! For being such a quick and easy dish, it is absolutely packed with flavor…

All you busy parents out there… this one's for you! And your kids too, of course! I don’t know about you but as an animal lover, my little one loves her cartoons and PAW Patrol has always been at the top of her list of favorites. So, when I saw these PAW Patrol inspired snack cheeses at my local HEB I knew that I had to get them and do something fun with them for snack time!

When I was little, two of my favorite snacks were cheese sticks and pizza bites. So, I thought to myself… why not both? And you know what? Let’s make them crazy easy and simple too. With literally just a handful of ingredients and a quick bake to perfection. The best part? They have the playful look of a rawhide dog bone! PAW Patrol, here we come.

Crustless Quiche (Instant Pot)

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…

Italian Breakfast Bake

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, they say. And I’d tend to agree. There is a reason they call it ‘breakfast’ too. The intention is to ‘break the fast’ of not eating overnight while you sleep. With being in the middle of an end of summer heat wave in Texas, I am avoiding my oven like the plague. The only time I’ll even consider using it is first thing in the morning before the heat of the day.

It’s been a while since I had a hot breakfast, so I figured it was about time to tempt the fate of the oven and heat and whip up a nice warm breakfast to enjoy. Breakfast casseroles are some of my favorite breakfast bites because it’s a ‘one and done’ situation. Meal prep at it’s finest. And this Italian Breakfast Bake is mmm-mmm good! Low carb, gluten free, and keto friendly…

Campwiches (Camping-Friendly Sandwiches)

August 1, 2019 Amanda Plott

I’m going camping this weekend with a group of 5 of my lady cousins and my mother. Shenanigans are afoot. It was only natural that I sort of assumed the roll of being in charge of the snacks and food. And while I’m not generally big on the idea of camping, I have done it a handful of times in my life and I’m more than happy to do it again with these girls.

Plus, there will be plenty of family time and wine around.

Since a few of us are going to start the campout a day early, I decided that I should probably pack something light for lunch on the day we’re arriving. These ‘campwiches’ are the perfect way to pack sandwiches for any picnic or camp out…

Italian Roll-Up Lunch

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?…
