Cherry Pop-Tart Bundt Cake

May 18, 2020 Amanda Plott

Another day, another dessert! This sweet treat is a nod to Cherry Pop-Tarts with it’s light pink frosting, red sugar sprinkles, and cherry filling. It’s truly one of the most delicious cherry cakes that I’ve ever put in my mouth. And that’s saying a lot!

While this cake is perfect as a dessert, it could also be enjoyed for breakfast. How do I know that? It’s what I had today for breakfast. Since it’s in the shape of a bundt… that makes it technically like a coffee cake, right? Sure. Let’s go with that…

Do you like coffee? Do you like soft chocolate chip cookies? You’ll love these Coffee Chocolate Chunk Cookies! Lightened up with a few simple swaps to make them a bit more guilt-free. These cookies are infused with coffee in two ways and loaded up with chocolate chunks. Making them great for snacking, dessert, or even enjoying with your morning cup of joe.

These Coffee Chocolate Chunk Cookies are soft chocolate chip cookies. It’s a light and fluffy cookie that’s more cake-like. Not much crisp. Not very dense. One of my favorite parts though? It’s a great excuse to eat cookies in the morning…

For a lot of us, Summer has come (or will come) early this year. Especially if you have kiddos! While Summer is officially a couple of months off still, I thought I’d get things heading in that direction. I mean… it’s already in the high 80’s here on most days. It’s been perfect weather for grilling!

With it being warm out, I wanted to make use of the grill, but also have something nice, cool, and refreshing on the plate. That’s where this Tex-Mex Pico De Gallo Grilled Chicken comes into play. I got my hands on some Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce and knew it would make the perfect marinated for chicken…

Blueberry Bread (Bread Machine)

May 12, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’m… making a lot of bread lately. I’ve found that being stuck at home and baking seem to go hand-in-hand. And when I’m planning out breakfast, bread just happens to be my new go-to. I guess that could be due to the fact that I got a new bread machine a few months back now.

This Blueberry Bread really hit the spot. It’s light and fluffy and full of blueberry goodness. A slice of this for breakfast with some butter, jam, and a side of fresh berries is a beautiful way to start the day. I lightened this bread up by using an unsweetened almond milk and plenty of blueberries…

If you’re looking for a pantry proof dinner, look no further! This Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole is a quick, easy to make, delicious dinner that is sure to please the whole family. It’s cooked all in one dish for easy clean up and only uses a handful of ingredients that are pretty versatile to change up if need be.

I kept this rather traditional casserole lightened up by using a greek yogurt in place of sour cream. I also used a reduced sodium soup instead of the plain-sane version. And of course, chicken breast as opposed to dark meat…

Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread

Everyone is all into banana bread right now. And I’m over here like… normal banana bread can be boring. Let’s jazz it up a bit with something extra special. Peanut butter and chocolate. Hell. Yes. This Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread is about ad decadent seeming as banana bread can come. The batter is made with a touch of peanut butter and then mini peanut butter cups are mixed in for added amazingness.

The batter itself is lightened up by way of plenty of mashed banana and some greek yogurt too. There’s also no actual sugar used in this bread. It’s made with natural sweeteners and blends. The end result is a light, fluffy, rich and delicious breakfast bite that is sure to impress…
