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…

Skinny Turkey & Wild Rice Soup

November 28, 2021 Amanda Plott

It happens every Thanksgiving... What do you do with all that leftover turkey? And believe me when I say that I have a freezer full of it this year. And you know what? I'm not at al mad at it either.

I'm happy to say that I've got a solution for you right here.

I originally started making this soup after Thanksgiving a few years back, and honestly, I still haven't changed the recipe from my original version of it. That's just how good it is...

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…

Club Sandwich

Who can say no to a traditional club sandwich? This Club Sandwich is made just a little better-for-you with a few simple swaps that keep it perfectly classic and yet guilt free! As with any club sandwich, this one starts out with sliced deli ham and turkey, and then paired with bacon, cheese, tomato and some lettuce. All on some toasted bred with a smear of light mayo.

It’s good stuff and goes well with a light salad, a cup of soup, or even some salt and vinegar kettle chips like I had. It was simple, classic, and so so good! Of course, I wouldn’t say no to some pickles on the side too…

Biscuit & Gravy Pot Pie

August 16, 2021 Amanda Plott

Sometimes you just need a good comforting breakfast. And this Biscuit & Gravy Pot Pie is about as ‘comfort food’ as you can get. With a homemade turkey sausage gravy and biscuit topping, you just can’t go wrong! It’s perfect as a weekend breakfast or brunch. But, it also makes for a pretty good breakfast through the week since it reheats pretty well.

It’s lightened up just a bit by using a turkey breakfast sausage and also unsweetened almond milk in place of other milks. Though, you can really use any sort of milk that tickles your fancy. I just like this almond milk because it gives me more bang for my buck calorie wise…

Skinny Biscuits & Gravy Cups

July 16, 2021 Amanda Plott

Biscuits and gravy cups? That’s right! Biscuit dough cups that are filled with an easy to make homemade sausage gravy that makes it all perfectly grab-and-go friendly while also being great for the kiddos! While these Skinny Biscuits & Gravy Cups are cute and even impressive, they are actually really simple and easy to make with just a handful of ingredients.

Since there isn’t a whole lot you can do to lighten up this biscuit part (outside of making your own biscuit dough), I did just about everything I could to make the gravy better-for-you. I started the gravy off with a lean turkey breakfast sausage and then swapped in almond milk for regular milk. I also used a reduced fat cheddar in place of regular…
