Vegetarian Cheeseburger Salad

May 13, 2021 Amanda Plott

I don’t know. Sometimes you just can’t decide between things. Today I wanted a cheeseburger. Also a salad. Also something meatless. What does that mean? Time for a Vegetarian Cheeseburger Salad! I’ve made a few renditions of a burger bowl/salad before. Some with meat. Some without. This one has to be one of my favorites.

It’s a fun combination of three things that I absolutely adore. Less meat. More veggies. And crazy easy! this dinner takes well under 30 minutes to make and it’s something that everyone at the dinner table is sure to love. Meat-eater or no…

Pizza Monkey Bread

Craving pizza but tired of the same old thing? Try this Pizza Monkey Bread! It’s a fun and easy savory twist on monkey bread that turns pizza into a bite sized dipper that the whole family is sure to love. One of the best parts is that it’s a great way to mix things up on pizza night to have something for everyone without having to make or bake several different kinds of pizza.

I did mine with half having some olives and mushrooms while the other half was chopped up turkey pepperoni and mushroom. So everyone got something they wanted. It’s great for family game night or for kiddos at a sleepover once that becomes a thing again!..

Cheesesteak Macaroni Casserole

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…

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…

Chickpea & Spinach Curry

Yep, still over here trying to eat less meat. The more delicious vegetarian options that I can come up with at this point, the better. And this Chickpea & Spinach Curry is so quick, easy, and tasty that it may just have to go into the weekly rotation.

This curry is made all in one pan, making it perfect for easy clean up on a weeknight. It’s also fairly quick to make with only about 15 minutes of cook time and hardly any prep work needed. Another good thing about it is that it reheats really well. So if you’re looking for a meal prep lunch idea, this would be a great choice!…

Tofu Pad Thai

March 11, 2021 Amanda Plott

Pad Thai tends to be one of my favorite go-to asian themed dishes. I think it’s probably that way for a lot of people since it’s common, simple, delicious, and also tends to be one of the better-for-you options on a menu. I always like to take mine a step further when I can to get it meatless too.

Today I decided to make a take-out fake-out version of Tofu Pad Thai! It’s super quick and easy to make. Everything is put into one skillet for a quick toss and cook at the end. You could probably even get away with making most of the individual pieces ahead of time to have prepped and ready to heat up once ready for it at dinner time…
