Sweet Potato Biscuits

October 21, 2020 Amanda Plott

Who says Fall has to be all about pumpkins anyway? Sweet potatoes deserve some love too! These Sweet Potato Biscuits are easy to make and just about as delicious as biscuits can get. They’re fluffy and light and the perfect addition to any Fall inspired meal, be it breakfast, brunch, or dinner! I topped mine with some apple butter and served them with fresh berries as breakfast, but they would be damn good with some gravy or served alongside a pot roast.

These biscuits would be super easy to make vegan too! How? Just sub in some vegan butter for the regular butter and bing-bang-boom, you’ve got vegan biscuits!…

Frozen S'more Bars

July 19, 2020 Amanda Plott

Look, it’s freakin’ hot out ya’ll. It’s so hot that even if I could make traditional s’mores, I don’t think I’d enjoy them quite the same. Eating hot food during the heat of the Texas summer just… isn’t the most novel idea. With that being said, I’ve had frozen hot chocolate before, so why not frozen s’mores?

These s’mores are every bit as delicious as traditional s’mores. That’s because they’re made with the same basic things, just with a few minor adjustments to be freezer fun and friendly…

Cinnamon Raisin Bread (Bread Machine)

April 25, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’ve been taking the time lately to bake my little heart out. Baking has always been my weakest point, so I figured there was no time like the present to start working on that. One of the biggest steps I made in this was getting my hands on a new bread machine. I’ve found that access to a machine to do most of the hands on parts of making bread dough has eased my fears.

This Cinnamon Raisin Bread is perfect as part of a wholesome breakfast. With allowing the machine to do most of the work and only a few minutes of actual hands-on time, this bread is a great guilt-free way to feel like you’re indulging a bit…

Skinny Birthday Cake Cinnamon Rolls

March 28, 2020 Amanda Plott

When I originally made these Skinny Birthday Cake Cinnamon Rolls it was for my daughter’s third birthday. Today we are just about a week and a half away from her turning ten! Happy early birthday Lily!

In honor of my sweet princess, I decided to whip up another batch of special homemade cinnamon rolls, and in the process, give the images a bit of a facelift. The recipe has remained the same because it’s just that damn good. Tried and true, it has held strong through the years. And once again, I’m secretly hoping that this recipe will be the one to get her back on board with enjoying cinnamon rolls…

Skinny Grapefruit Scones

July 28, 2019 Amanda Plott

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, weekends are for baking. …And for brunch!

Way way back when, I made some delicious Summer Strawberry Scones. And while I had half a mind to go back and update that original, I decided to take a slightly different route this time around. Instead I made these Skinny Grapefruit Scones.

As per usual, my mother looked at me like I was a little crazy when I started to make them. Apparently she thinks that grapefruit in scones sounds strange? But, I promise you that it’s not…

Dark Chocolate Covered Rosé Soaked Strawberries

December 30, 2018 Amanda Plott

With New Year’s Even just around the corner, I was thinking there would be no better time than now to make some Rosé soaked strawberries. By why stop there? I decided the best thing to do was to cover those things in some dark chocolate!

This is how adults do ‘jello shots’ right?

I like to think that it’s a more elegant way to indulge anyway!…
