Baked Tortilla Chips

October 30, 2019 Amanda Plott

Being a Texan means that chips and salsa are basically served with every meal It’s a staple snack that can be found in just about any home and perfectly fits the bill. Whether is breakfast, lunch, or dinner! That being said, most store-bought chips out there are a lot of the same. Lots of salt and oil involved.

Recently I’ve found that making my own tortilla chips is not only crazy easy, it’s also WAY better for you. They’re made with just 2 ingredients and are baked. Meaning hardly any oil and YOU get to control the seasoning and salt that goes into them!…

Skinny Baked 'Overnight' Vanilla Chai Oatmeal

October 28, 2019 Amanda Plott

This Skinny Baked 'Overnight' Vanilla Chai Oatmeal is based off of my Baked Amish Overnight Oatmeal, but made with plenty of added chai spice! The spice blend is homemade with spices that you likely already have on hand. It’s quick and easy to put together in the evening to have ready to go for baking up first thing in the morning.

Unlike a ‘bowl of oatmeal’ baked oatmeal is a bit more akin to cake. It’s fluffy and is generally cut or scooped to be served in a bowl where it’s topped with milk and any fresh fruits desired. Since this oatmeal likes to soak overnight, that makes this a great Sunday night breakfast to put together and have ready to go to toss in the oven on Monday for a weeks worth (plus) of breakfast!…

Instant Pot Apple Cider

October 25, 2019 Amanda Plott

Whohooooo. It is coooold out today, y’all. It is cold. Windy. And I am in the process of recovering from a cold. Current state? My body needs all the warm things. Thankfully, I had this Instant Pot Apple Cider on my list to make this week. And can I just say, it really really hit the spot.

There isn’t much that can top a homemade mug of spiced apple cider soothe a sore throat. Especially while we’re in the throes of Fall season.

To be pretty honest, I didn’t think making homemade apple cider would be this easy. Toss everything into a pressure cooker and in 15 minutes you’ve got the makings of apple cider…

One Pot Vegan Pumpkin Curry Soup

October 23, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s starting to really cool off and stay cooled off here in Austin and I couldn’t be any more ready than I am! Bring it on Fall! This One Pot Vegan Pumpkin Curry Soup is a great Fall soup. It’s thick, ‘creamy’ without any cream added, and perfectly guilt-free. It’s also gluten-free with no added oils or sugars! The best part is, you get 2 heaping cups in each serving that comes in well below 300 calories.

Even with all of that? This soup is easily made in ONE pot in under 30 minutes! How can a dinner time soup get any easier than that? Did I mention this soup is completely delicious? Yeah, that too…

Asian Marinated Eggs

October 21, 2019 Amanda Plott

Originally, I was introduced to soy marinated eggs at a local ramen joint. Of course… I’m not the most confident in my skills to soft boil, peel, and marinate said eggs myself sooo… the next best thing is a hard-boiled version! And I say next best only because these are really just a very different animal all together. The idea is the same though. And the taste is too!

These Asian Marinated Eggs are a delicious and easy to make addition to … well, almost any Asian inspired meal. Add them to ramen, serve as a side with a salad, or even as an appetizer…
