Instant Pot Poached Eggs

July 23, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s been a good long while since I had some eggs for breakfast and if I’m being very honest? I’ve never had a poached egg before in my life. I’ve had them just about every other way there is other than poached. So, this morning I decided to try my hand at it. However it’s summer and I’m lazy. Instant Pot to the rescue!

Oh, how many times the Instant Pot has saved me.

These eggs are cooked up in no time and require NO technical or cooking skills what-so-ever. That’s right. these poached eggs are cooked right in the pressure cooker and you can play around with the timing to get them exactly where you want them as far as yolks go…

Potato Salad

June 30, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s that time of year. BBQs are in full swing and America (just like the rest of us) is getting older. I have a favorite potato salad that can only be found in a small hole in the wall BBQ joint in the city that I graduated high school at. While I don’t live there anymore, I still manage to get my hands on my favorite potato salad once or twice a year.

I’ve put a lot of thought, time, and effort into trying to figure out the recipe, and I think that I’ve managed to get pretty close here with this Potato Salad! One thing that makes this potato salad stand out is the texture of it. It’s somewhere between chunky mashed potatoes and rice. That’s why I decided to break down and get a potato ricer…

Skinny Breakfast Burritos

May 19, 2021 Amanda Plott

What a perfectly deful way to start out your morning!

With just under 250 calories in a full breakfast burrito, you can happily serve one of these along side some salsa, fresh fruit, and maybe a cup of coffee for a filling and guiltless beginning to your day.

Plus, with these being easily doubled or tripled - you could make them ahead and freeze to grab and reheat on any busy day of the week!…

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…

Hot & Sour Soup

I’ve gotten to where I make veggie sushi about once a week, or at least once every couple of weeks. This Hot & Sour Soup is an easy and delicious side to pair with the sushi. It’s super quick and easy to make all in one pot and it tastes even better than the one you order with take out. What’s even better is that you get to have control over just how hot or sour your soup is in the end.

I have seen a little difference in hot and soup soup out there. This one, to me, is more of a mixture between egg drop and hot and sour. I’m totally fine with that. I love egg drop soup as much as I do hot and sour. But, it is worth noting that you do DROP EGGS into this soup. It can be a scary thought, but I promise it’s easy peasy!…

Bacon & Egg Toaster Strudel

August 10, 2020 Amanda Plott

It wasn’t too long ago that I made my take on a traditional toaster strudel. You know, the sweet version with fruit filling and icing on top. This time around, I thought I would take the savory route! Bacon, egg, and cheese is the name of the game today.

These Bacon & Egg Toaster Strudel are crazy easy to make and leaves you with 6 whole servings. It helps too that they’re perfectly delicious and can be made ahead of time. Or, you know, jus enjoy them right away - warm and fresh out of the oven…
