Pink Velvet Waffles & Cream Cheese Drizzle

January 22, 2022 Amanda Plott

Valentine’s day is coming and that always puts me in the mood for sweets. Being as my daughter is pretty much in love with waffles, I decided to try my hand at making some pink velvet waffles! What are pink velvet waffles? Well, they’re basically a pink version of red velvet that’s made with just a touch of cocoa powder and lighter colors to be pink rather than full on red!

Being as they are pink velvet waffles, I opted to make a cream cheese drizzle in place of syrup to go along with these sweeties. And of course, no waffle can go eaten in this house unless it has sprinkles on top. So, these pretty pink sprinkles were the perfect addition…

Inside-Out Truffalo Breakfast Burrito

January 19, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s going to be a busy day as I prepare for the possible in climate weather that is supposed to be sliding in this evening. So, I went out on my walk and then came in and made myself this Inside-Out Truffalo Breakfast Burrito. I’ve made an inside-out burrito before, but it wasn’t quite like this. What’s truffalo? It’s a delightful mix of truffle and spicy buffalo flavors!

The first time I heard about truffalo was at a chicken wing joint and after that I set out on a mission to find a sauce that was similar - tada! I found it. It’s pretty good too. I took this breakfast burrito a step further though and included a spicy buffalo seasoning AND truffle salt…

Spinach & Ravioli Bake

It’s cold and windy outside and I just want to curl up and be lazy. So, we’re having a super easy and lazy dinner tonight. It really doesn’t get more simple than this Spinach & Ravioli Bake with just 4 ingredients and hardly any hands on time! All you need for this one pan dinner is spaghetti sauce, ravioli, spinach, and cheese.

This recipe is also easily doubled for a larger family or group of people. And guess what? Even when you double it - it’s the same amount of easy peasy cheesy!…

Ham & Cheese Omelette

December 26, 2021 Amanda Plott

I don’t know about you, but we had ham as part of our Christmas dinner and I managed to keep some on reserve for leftover breakfast this morning. This Ham & Cheese Omelette is one of my favorite ways to use up leftover ham. I based this omelette off of a few others that I’ve made in the past that packs an omelette up with as much protein as possible.

I like to sub in egg whites for part of the egg in any omelette. But, I try to keep at least one yolk in there for some color and flavor. Other than that, I love to put cottage cheese in my omelettes because it gives a bit of a boost to the protein and also bonus melty cheese goodness…

Breakfast Twice Baked Potato

December 10, 2021 Amanda Plott

Who says you can’t have a baked potato for breakfast? This potato is baked twice over and loaded with the breakfast favorites of bacon, egg, and cheese! They’re great for mornings when you want a nice hearty and filling breakfast, but don’t have a lot of time on your hands since these can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you’re ready for the second and final bake.

It’s super easy to double up the recipe to have enough to feed a crowd with minimal effort or hands on time when it comes to cooking…

Tomato & Feta Cheese Spaghetti

November 19, 2021 Amanda Plott

With the holidays hot on my heels, I’m keeping it simple this week when it comes to meals. Well… you know, outside of the big main meal that’s coming up that is. This Tomato & Feta Cheese Spaghetti is just about easy as it comes. Just toss some tomatoes and feta into dish and bake it for a bit with some oil and seasoning. Then toss with pasta and tada! Dinner.

This stuff is good too. AND it’s super easy to double up on if you have a larger crowd to feed. Plus, I love the fact that this spaghetti dinner is vegetarian too. It’s a meatless meal that everyone can enjoy!…
