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…

Skinny Classic Meatloaf

May 8, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s been a hell of a long time since I made a meatloaf. I mean… a really really really long time. Almost 5-6 years or something? I’m not really sure why either. It’s a quick and easy part of dinner that can be tossed together in no time at all. Plus, it can be made to be pretty damn healthy too!

So, after discussing meatloaf with a group of friends last week, I decided that it was high time for me to make another meatloaf. This time though? We’re going old-school and classic with this loaf of meat…

5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Granola

January 11, 2019 Amanda Plott

I’m telling y’all. I’m still working on my breakfast game. Sometimes a girl just wants something savory. And sometimes… it’s the sweets being craved. Today I was craving a little bit of both. Something sweet. Something salty. And definitely something crunchy! That’s where this easy-peasy 5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Granola comes in!

With just 5 ingredients and 5 minutes or hands on time, you too can have this delish granola in your life. And why not? Granola can be expensive and full of things you don’t like, don’t want, and/or don’t care about. Not this granola.

Eggnog Bread Breakfast Sandwich

December 14, 2018 Amanda Plott

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…

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!…

Spooky scary skeleton! … …I have no idea. It’s a song that my daughter sings. While these aren’t skeletons, or made of bones, these 'Tombstone' Pizza Pockets are super cute and rather easy to make too! What’s better is that YOU get to decide what goes in them and their shape - unlike those frozen-to-microwave ones. You know the ones I’m talking about. The ones filled with a bunch of scary sounding yuck.

These cute little pizza pockets are made with a whole wheat dough and are filled with the basics of any pepperoni pizza; sauce, cheese, and pepperoni! Yep. That’s basically it. A few traditional pizza favorites in a perfect and festive little pocket!…
