Halloween Cheese Board

October 16, 2021 Amanda Plott

Every month or so there must be a ‘wine and cheese’ night at my house. What does that mean? Well, that means we sendup having wine and cheese for dinner. Charcuterie boards are a lot of fun to play around with, especially around the holidays. That’s mostly because you get the chance to try wines and cheeses that you otherwise wouldn’t.

Take this Halloween Cheese Board for instance. I made it this past weeks mission to go out and seek cheeses that were ‘spooky’ and on theme with Halloween. I think one of my favorites that I found was this port infused cheese that gave it this really pretty marbled purple look!…

Pizza Waffles

If you haven’t noticed by now, I sort of like to put foods that I love together to make something completely new. These Pizza Waffles are just one of those things! I picked up a waffle maker a few months back now after a good year or two of my old one having give up the ghost. So, I’ve been having a lot of fun with playing around with the new one.

These Pizza Waffles are super easy to make and delish! I used some puff pastry sheets as the dough, since we’re filling these waffles with the pizza goodness. Sauce, cheese, and your favorite pizza toppings are tolled up in the puff pastry and then cooked on the waffle iron. No batter needed!…

Bacon Queso Baked Pumpkin

September 30, 2021 Amanda Plott

Look. I don’t know. I have a problem with queso. It’s just the perfect and most ultimate food in my personal opinion. And this Bacon Queso Baked Pumpkin is Fall perfection. It’s as easy as taking a small pumpkin, hollowing it out, and backing your queso inside it for a fun and festive way to get your queso on.

And… everything in moderation, right? This Bacon Queso Baked Pumpkin is the most amazing way to save queso in the Fall season. It’s visually appealing, and I mean… how do you even go wrong with queso anyway? If it’s wrong, I don’t want to be right…

Burger Bowls

Coming in LATE today with these Burger Bowls. What is it? A burger? A bowl? The answer is YES. These are bowls made out of burger and then loaded up with all the burger goodness you know and love. Lettuce, cheese, pickles, etc. It’s all here in one beefy bowl.

One of the best parts of these burger bowls is that they are so SO easy to make and still look wildly impressive. It’s one of those super clever ways of serving dinner that kids and adults will both be able to enjoy and make their own with their own toppings…

Mini Air-Fryer Breakfast Tacos

September 15, 2021 Amanda Plott

My week is a little chaotic. Okay, more than a little. But that doesn’t mean that I’m skipping out on breakfast. After waking up at 5 AM, taking my little to cheer practice, walking for an hour, then feeding 30+ cheerleaders their breakfast, that’s when it’s time for my breakfast. And since I’ve been in a savory breakfast kind of mood, I thought some breakfast tacos sounded perfect.

These Mini Air-Fryer Breakfast Tacos are where it’s at. They’re crispy, and cheesy, and delicious. Of course I’m always looking for an excuse to use these mini street taco tortillas too. I left these tacos about as simple as they could be with all the fan favorites of bacon, egg, cheese, and some pico…

Pumpkin & Sausage Queso

September 12, 2021 Amanda Plott

Not all queso is created equal. Although, I don’t think that I could ever turn a queso away. This Pumpkin & Sausage Queso is PERFECT for Fall. It’s loaded with a little bit of pumpkin flavor and a lot of warm spices and a real kick-in-the pants! Naturally, while it’s hatch chile season in Texas, I served mine with some green chile hatch tortilla chips and YUM.

This queso is a bit more on the extra spicy side, what with the added chipotle, spicy sausage, and of course peppers as far as the eye can see…
