Skinny Truffle Deviled Eggs

November 16, 2019 Amanda Plott

With the Holidays coming up quickly, I like to get a few fun appetizers in mind ahead of time. Deviled eggs are one of my staple snacks just because most people enjoy them, they're quick and easy to make, and they can be pretty impressive when you put a twist on the very classic and simple egg.

I’ve made a lot of deviled eggs in the past. Everything eggs, bacon & cheddar eggs, bloody mary eggs, jalapeño popper eggs, and even buffalo deviled eggs! Today I wanted to keep things simple with these deviled eggs while also elevating them, and truffle seemed like the best way to do that!…

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.

Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

August 26, 2019 Amanda Plott

Who else sneaks bites of raw cookie dough all the while knowing that you shouldn’t do it? I know that I sure do despite my greatest efforts not to. I’ve made raw edible cookie dough in the past, and it was pretty damn delicious. But, I thought I would take it a step further and make a gluten-free version of it!

Yep, that’s right. This edible cookie dough is not only egg-free, vegan, and vegetarian, but it’s also gluten-free AND dairy-free. Covering all the major bases here while also getting to indulge in some cookie dough. Sounds like a win-win situation, right?…

Chicken Salad Lunch Box

May 22, 2019 Amanda Plott

I was asked for more snack, lunch, and meal prep box ideas - so I’ve been hard at work coming with a couple each week! This Chicken Salad Lunch Box has to be one of my favorites though. Then again, almost anything with chicken salad is a favorite of mine.

For this lunch box, I used the base for my standard chicken salad that I use in my stuffed tomatoes - and made a few adjustments to it according to what I happened to have on hand this time around. Namely swapping the cranberries for raisins, and using pecans for my nut of choice. Other than that, it’s pretty much same ole’ same ole’.

Kid-Friendly Spring Snack Mix

May 1, 2019 Amanda Plott

Spring is in the air. And do you know how I can tell? Allergies! I don’t know about the rest of the planet, but right here, right now, it’s allergy chaos. Never mind that Austin has been engulfed with what is now going on three WAVES of the flu. Just a couple of weeks ago, my daughter’s whole third grade class was pretty thin. Some out for allergies. Others out with a virus. Thank goodness the little babes are in a little bit better spirits this week.

Every year they have a fun book party to celebrate reading a certain amount of ‘crown books’. This year the request from the librarian was for Spring themed eats and treats. So, I was put to the task of whipping up a delicious Spring snack mix after a few of the parents got a peak of my Camp Out Trail Mix from a while back…

Banana Nut Granola

Banana nut bread has to be one of my most favorite things in the world to eat for breakfast. I honestly don’t make it enough, and haven’t made it in a good long while. So, needless to say, I’ve been craving it lately. I thought this time around though, that I would put a little twist on it and turn it into a granola instead!

Cereal has been the name of the breakfast game in my house for a good solid week now. We’re busy eating up a few boxes that were used in that Camp Out Trail Mix last week. Waste not, want not. Right? As we got to the end of the boxes, I knew it was time to make this Banana Nut Granola…
