Healthified Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

February 3, 2022 Amanda Plott

This old post (originally from 2013 - my first year of The Skinny Fork) definitely needed to be updated. It was back from the days when I wasn't yet taking the step-by-step photos of my cooking process. Not that this recipes has all too many steps to begin with, it just needed some polishing up.

It was definitely interesting to go back and see how far I've come with my photography, and also my method of cooking and creating recipes. I've made a few adjustments to the recipe (very minor ones and all for the better), so don't let that scare you off. It's not only better, but even better for you now too!...

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…

Baked Tortilla Chips

October 30, 2019 Amanda Plott

Being a Texan means that chips and salsa are basically served with every meal It’s a staple snack that can be found in just about any home and perfectly fits the bill. Whether is breakfast, lunch, or dinner! That being said, most store-bought chips out there are a lot of the same. Lots of salt and oil involved.

Recently I’ve found that making my own tortilla chips is not only crazy easy, it’s also WAY better for you. They’re made with just 2 ingredients and are baked. Meaning hardly any oil and YOU get to control the seasoning and salt that goes into them!…

Healthified Taco Salad

April 4, 2019 Amanda Plott

This is a quick and easy salad to toss together for a weeknight meal that everyone in the family can enjoy! Yes, even the little ones. All in all I would say that the meal takes just at 30 minutes to prepare and cook in it's entirety. That's it!

Taco salad is one of those great ways to enjoy all the flavors of a taco without quite so much guilt as you would have if you scarfed down 3-4 regular tacos - shell and all. I've kept this recipe light and yet still very filling and satisfying...

I’ve been in Egg Bite mode for a while now. Can you tell?

Breakfast is honestly my favorite meal of the day, and it probably always has been. That’s because it’s really the only meal of the day that you can experiment with eating sweet or savory. And just like with eating sweet and savory, I also like to experiment with eating less meat and more vegetarian options!

It’s not secret that we eat at least half of our meals in my house as vegetarian. YES, that includes all meals too. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner alike. I know that Vegetarian Chorizo Egg Bites might sound like an oxymoron here, but I promise you these egg bites are delicious and full of chorizo flavor…

Club Wrap

November 17, 2018 Amanda Plott

I’m busy. You’re busy. We’re all busy right now! The Holidays are hot on our heels and it’s a mad dash to the finish line by now. With being a bit under the weather for this past week, I’ve been doing my very best (yet still failing more than once) to feed the house. With that being said, I got wise halfway through the week and started to meal-prep most of the meals.

This Club Wrap is one of my current favorite lunches. It’s a quick bite that’s light, full of flavor, and perfect for grab-in-go situations. In all honesty, I based this wrap off of one that my mom and I shared a few weeks ago after a long and exhausting trip to the grocery store…
