Breakfast Stuffed Pumpkin

November 7, 2021 Amanda Plott

Even though Halloween is over, pumpkin season is still upon us. And I love to find creative and fun uses for pumpkins in the kitchen all the way through Thanksgiving. This Breakfast Stuffed Pumpkin would be a super fun and easy way to feed the family around the Holidays, or even as breakfast on Thanksgiving morning!

My local grocery place had pumpkins on sale for just one dollar and fifty cents, so I grabbed up one of the smaller pie pumpkins. They’re small, sweet, and meant to be used for cooking and eating unlike some of their larger cousins…

Savory Spinach & Cheese Waffles

August 25, 2021 Amanda Plott

Who said waffles have to be sweet all the time? Not me! Ever since I got my new waffle maker a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been a waffle making fiend. Waffles today were savory, but more on the end of breakfast or brunch than my cornbread waffles from last week.

These Savory Spinach & Cheese Waffles are exactly that. Standard protein waffle mix with spinach and cheese added in. They’re super tasty and go great with an instant pot poached egg and a drizzle of sriracha on top…

Turkey Bacon Pesto 'Tortilla Trend' Breakfast Wrap

July 7, 2021 Amanda Plott

This morning I decided to take the tortilla wrap trend to the next level with this pesto-goodness loaded breakfast wrap! This tortilla trend has just about a little of everything. Fresh veggies, pesto, cheese, bacon, and of course egg!

It’s delicious and takes just a few minutes to toss together. Plus, being as it’s a tortilla trend, it’s completely portable and makes for the BEST grab-and-go breakfast you can get your hands on. And with just a few simple swaps, this breakfast is completely guilt-free…

Caprese Pasta Salad

June 27, 2021 Amanda Plott

As it’s getting hotter and hotter outside I’m craving the cold stuff. The lighter stuff. The stuff I don’t have to turn my oven on to enjoy. This Caprese Pasta Salad is just that. Get it started in the morning when it’s cool out and then finish it off in the afternoon or evening as lunch, dinner, or a side for one of the two. The pasta dish itself is based off one of my all time favorites - caprese!

What’s a caprese? Tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, and balsamic vinegar in one form or another. I basically turned that into a light, easy to make salad that includes fresh baby spinach and some pasta to make it just a little more hearty…

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

March 16, 2021 Amanda Plott

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!…
