Cheesesteak Macaroni Casserole

April 23, 2021 Amanda Plott

There is only ONE more month of school left here and it is busier than ever! What does that mean? Easy cheesy weeknight meals are where it’s at! That’s where this Cheesesteak Macaroni Casserole comes in. Not only is this casserole easy AND cheesy, it’s also one that you could make ahead of time and then toss in the oven for the final step when it’s time for dinner!

So what makes this casserole ‘cheesesteak’ anyway? Well, that would be the beef, onion, and bell pepper in there. Yep. It’s at simple as that when it comes to this dish. Plus, it’s made with just a handful of ingredients which are mostly household kitchen staples anyway…

Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins

I don’t know. I felt like I wanted some buffalo chicken potato skins.

Easy to make shredded buffalo chicken that’s stuffed into potato skins and topped off with cheddar and blue cheese. Can’t go wrong there. This is a super simple and versatile dish that could be anything from an appetizer to part of a meal. I should say too that I used the BIGGEST russet potatoes for this that I could find. We’re talking HUGE. So if you are using smaller potatoes, this will give you a lot more skins than what it did me…

Spring Vegetable Lasagna

In case you haven’t heart yet, it’s Spring! And I’m sticking to Spring themed foods for a good while. This Spring Vegetable Lasagna is a Spring infused lasagna that’s meatless and made with all the best and freshest produce that Spring time has to offer. That includes, zucchini, summer squash, spinach, and of course peas! Yes. There’s peas in this lasagna!

As strange as that may sound, this lasagna turns out bright, vibrant, and absolutely delicious. Plus, you get a whole HUGE piece for under 300 calories. Not too shabby for a lasagna that’s veggieful and cheesy! It’s even more guilt-free with whole wheat lasagna noodles being the basis for this layered beauty…

Baked Caprese Chicken

Cheers to easy dinners! This Baked Caprese Chicken is a real winner. With just a handful of ingredients and about 5 minutes of actual hands on time (maybe even less) this chicken is super easy, tasty, and quick to make! The recipe is easily doubled or tripled for a larger family, but I’ve left it scaled back for two servings.

So what’s caprese anyway? It’s generally a salad that includes tomatoes, cheese and either pesto or some sort of balsamic reduction. Since its Italian based, this chicken would be good paired with a simple side salad like I did, or with veggies and some pasta or zucchini noodles even. No matter how you serve it up, this tasty chicken is a great part of dinner…

Monte Cristo Breakfast Casserole

March 6, 2021 Amanda Plott

I don’t know. I just like to shake things up sometimes by putting two or three things together that I enjoy and hoping that it turns out right. Today? It’s a monte cristo sandwich and a breakfast bake or casserole. Yep. And guess what? It’s pretty damn tasty if I do say so myself. I’ll tell you another thing, after this past week, I deserved a little somethin’ something’ special.

This Monte Cristo Breakfast Casserole takes the cake. Like literally. It’s a monte cristo in the form of a better-for-you ‘strata’ or bake. Eggs. Cheese. Ham. Bread. Dijon. And you add a dab of raspberry preserves at the end and it’s done. And not depending fried or battered. Just good. Tasty. Breakfast…

Vegetarian Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole

January 6, 2021 Amanda Plott

As is with most New Years, I don’t tend to change my diet up a whole hell of a lot. Though one thing that I do try and do is eat less meat. Especially less red meat. Thankfully these days there are a lot of meatless and meat free options out there. Even when it comes to sausage! That’s why I was able to make this casserole vegetarian with one simple swap.

This Vegetarian Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole is an absolutely delicious way to serve biscuits and gravy, or even have it on hand as a meal prep for breakfast through the week. (Which is what I did!) Really you could use any sausage you want, vegetarian or otherwise…
