Giant Meatballs

June 9, 2021 Amanda Plott
giant-meatballs6.jpg

I’ll be real honest, it’s been a pretty rough week for me. My mom had surgery and I’ve been down and out with almost a full week of some sort of strange migraine or headache of some sort. So until I’m able to get a few things resolved, it’s all about the quick and easy things for dinner just like these Giant Meatballs!

These Giant Meatballs are just that. Giant Meatballs. I equate them to something similar to individual mini meatloaves since they’re mixed with basically all the same things as a meatloaf would be. The only difference is they’re…Giant Meatballs! They’re even topped off with ketchup just like my favorite meatloaves…

Baked Caprese Chicken

March 8, 2021 Amanda Plott

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…

Baked PB&J Oatmeal

February 10, 2021 Amanda Plott

Who knew you could enjoy a PB&J for breakfast? Oh, wait. I did! This Baked PB&J Oatmeal is loosely based on a few of my other baked breakfast oatmeals but in PB&J form. Yep! There’s peanuts, peanut butter, and even jelly baked right into this oatmeal. Plus, I made it dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian.

This Baked PB&J Oatmeal can be made in advance and reheats really well, meaning that it’s perfect for meal prepping and having on hand through the whole week. And, if you aren’t a fan or are allergic to nuts, you can always swap out the peanut butter for any nut free alternative. That’s right, even those with sensitivities can enjoy this with the right alterations…

Instant Pot Loaded Baked Potato Soup

No time to labor over the stove to make dinner? This Instant Pot Loaded Baked Potato Soup is quick and easy to make with almost all of the cook time being hands off in the instant pot. You start this soup off with cooking the bacon and then adding in the potatoes and broth to that. Yep, that’s right. The bacon is loaded into the soup from the very start!

After the soup cooks you add in a roux and cheese to really make it fully loaded. I keep this soup with some potato chunk to make it feel even more hearty and filling. I also leave on the most of the skins on the potatoes because that’s where so much of the nutrients are…

Baked Buffalo Tofu Strips

October 13, 2020 Amanda Plott

Who needs chicken? These Baked Buffalo Tofu Strips are a great vegetarian alternative to the long time favorite of buffalo chicken. They’re breaded in panko and baked to perfection. That’s right, no frying needed! It’s truly one of my most favorite ways to eat tofu.

The panko seasoning is the star of the show. Tofu doesn’t have any real flavor so you have to put it with a lot of boldness to get anything out of it. That’s why I seasoned the hell out of the breading mixture. But, feel free to add more to it and adjust accordingly to your tastes. Just keep in mind that this is where the MOST of your flavor is going to come from. It should taste very spicy and very salty!…

Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal

September 29, 2020 Amanda Plott

If you’re a fan of pecan pie and you’re a fan of oatmeal, you’re going to love this Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal! It’s basically my Baked Amish Overnight Oatmeal with a candied pecan pie style topping. It’s perfect for chilly Fall mornings as we get closer to Halloween AND Thanksgiving. This Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal would actually make a really great breakfast for the morning of Thanksgiving because you can make it ahead of time and bake it in the morning. No fuss. no muss.

Of course, one of my favorite things about this oatmeal, is for sure the topping, but the ease of making it and having it on hand and ready to go for breakfast is pretty nice too….
