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…

May 9, 2020 Amanda Plott

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…

Okay, so I’ve been trying to circulate this Everything Chicken here for a few months now. For whatever reason the day, time, lighting, etc has never lined up to allow me to do so. Today, I set myself a goal specifically to make this chicken and get this recipe in your hot little hands. Finally.

This Everything Chicken & Green Onion Cream Cheese Sauce is to-die-for. It’s one of the most simple chicken recipes to make, looks high end, and tastes absolutely amazing. Everyone who has tried it, has loved it. So much so, that it’s basically in the standard rotation here at my house…

Need a quick and easy dinner idea? This 'Lazy Lasagna' or Baked Ravioli is just about as easy as dinner comes. With just three, yes count them THREE, ingredients in the entire dish and all of 5 minutes of hands on time, this dinner is not only easy, it’s a family favorite!

Right now, in the world we’re all living in, it’s best to just keep things simple and return to our roots when it comes to food. That’s why I’ve been busy baking and making so many things from scratch or even finding clever ways to use up pantry and fridge staples…

One-Pot Goulash

April 18, 2020 Amanda Plott

We’re all trying to be a lot more mindful about how we are cooking and eating these days. I know that in my house, we’re trying to get as much use as we can out of every item in the pantry and fridge. Very little is allowed to go to waste and using up pantry staples has become the name of the game. Goulash is one of those old-fashioned tried and true recipes that is versatile, easy, and of course… delicious!

This One-Pot Goulash is pretty standard as far as a goulash goes. Beef, lots of tomatoes, and noodles. It cooks up in just over half an hour and is enough to feed a large group or a small family twice over…

Skinny Summer Strawberry Scones

April 4, 2020 Amanda Plott

It may not be summer time just yet, but I think we could all use some sunshine and warmth right now in our lives. So, I thought I would go ahead and make these Skinny Summer Strawberry Scones and update the photography in the process.

I've made scones a handful of times in the past few years, and while it took a few attempts at first I’ve gotten the process of making these scones down well enough. The recipe is surprisingly similar to that for Irish Soda Bread…
