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…

Low-Carb Chili (Keto-Friendly!)

June 19, 2018 Amanda Plott

There's a great debate somewhere out there in this world of ours on whether chili should have beans in it or not. Is it 'technically' chili with or without beans? {Shrug} Who knows? ...Now, being a native Texan... I've got my own opinions on the matter. And I can honestly say that any chili I've ever been served before has always had beans in it.

But, that doesn't mean that I'm not open to a bean-less version! In fact, these days... it's all about those low-carbs it seems. So when deciding to make my take on my mom's Chili Con Carne for our camp themed week this summer, I thought I'd try my hand at taking all those beans out and instead filling it full of more veggies and protein…

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…

Baked Feta

May 3, 2018 Amanda Plott

I'm tired, y'all. It's the last few weeks of school until summer break and I am dragging my booty just as much (if not more) than my sweet little girl. I'm tired and the struggle to eat real food couldn't be any greater. It's so easy to talk yourself out of eating the right things, the good things, the healthier things. I have found one way to make it easier to not fall into that trap though, and that's by following the K.I.S.S. method.

Keep. It. Stupid. Simple.

This baked feta isn't fake. It's simple. It's a REAL dish. It's a REAL bite. It's REAL. It's RAW. And it is beautiful…
