At a loss with what to make for dinner tonight? This Tater Tot Taco Bake is quick and easy to make with the oven doing most of the work! This casserole is basically everything you love about tacos made in the form of a casserole!

Ground beef, seasoning, sauce, corn and black beans come together to be topped off with tater tots and more cheese. This dinner option is perfect for a busy week night and can even be made ahead of time for a quick reheat later…

Cookies & Cream Cinnamon Rolls

May 31, 2020 Amanda Plott

These homemade cinnamon rolls are as a delicious take on combining two things I love. Cinnamon rolls and chocolate sandwich cookies! Now, I’ll be the first to admit that the cinnamon roll turning brown-brown wasn’t my initial plan. I thought with adding some of the crushed up cookie bits that the dough would end up flecked with cookies. Instead it just gave it a light brown tinge and a light chocolate taste.

In the end, I was happy with it for the flavor if nothing else…

Lemon Pudding Cake

May 29, 2020 Amanda Plott

If you’ve never had a lemon pudding cake, you don’t know what you’re missing. It’s basically a lemon cobbler; delicious scratch made lemon pudding as the base with a homemade lemon cake batter on top that bakes to a gooey lemon dessert that is as sweet as it is sassy.

I lightened this tasty lemon treat up by subbing a lot of the sugar for natural sweetener. I like to use a cup-for-cup stevia based sweetener, but any sort you favor should work just fine. The unsweetened almond milk is also a good milk alternative for baking since it saves calories and comes out tasting great…

Pull-Apart Pizza Bread (Bread Machine)

May 27, 2020 Amanda Plott

I was able to get my hands on some more yeast, and being as we’re still being careful with the ‘when and how often’ we’re leaving the house… I’m getting a lot of use out of my bread machine. In this house, we have a few things that are in the general rotation for dinners. On Tuesdays we eat tacos. On Saturday I like to make vegetarian sushi. And on Fridays? We like to eat pizza!

To keep things a little different, I thought I would use my idea from a few weeks ago for pull-apart bread, but turn it into pizza bread! So instead of butter and garlic, I loaded the layers of bread up with plenty of sauce, cheese, and our favorite pizza toppings…

Skinny Baked Funfetti 'Cake Batter' Oatmeal

May 24, 2020 Amanda Plott

Back when I originally made this, my amazing little girl wass turning 4 years old the very next day and I could hardly believe how fast time was flying! Today, she’s a month into 10! One of her most favorite things in the world when she was little (and still is today) are sprinkles. Every year for her birthday I always try to come up with a 'sprinkle' heavy (funfetti) dish in her honor.

Well, alright... so funfetti and sprinkles are a few of my most favorite things in the world as well. I mean... what's better than eating a rainbow? I like to imagine that it appeases my inner child for a while…

Taco Pie (Crustless Quiche)

May 22, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’m not unfamiliar with a crustless quiche. Quiche is one of my most favorite breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner meals! I guess that’s one reason why I love quiche; It’s a meal appropriate at any time of day. Another thing I like about it? It’s a great way to use up leftovers!

This Taco Pie is made with just 7 ingredients and a few minutes of hands on time. The oven does most of the work for you. It’s keto friendly, low carb, and gluten free too. Plus, it’s another excuse to enjoy a taco. How can you say no to that?…
