Air Fryer Cream Cheese Rangoons

May 16, 2021 Amanda Plott

When I decided to make my Egg Roll in a Bowl this week, I thought some cream cheese wontons would be the perfect appetizer to go with it. And since I’ve already done baked ones, why not try them in the air fryer? As it turns out, the air fryer is the perfect way to get some crispy and delicious cream cheese rangoons!

These crunchy cream cheese bits are great for dipping and dunking into your favorite asian inspired sauce alongside your favorite asian inspired meal. They’re quick and easy to make while also being kid-friendly and vegetarian! You could take them a step further and make them vegan too with a tofu cream cheese - which is something I have totally done before…

Blondies + Maple Cream Cheese Sauce

April 26, 2021 Amanda Plott

It was my brother’s birthday celebration this past weekend, and it sure was a lot different from how it was last year for sooo many reasons. Thankfully vaccinations are in place and we got to celebrate together once again! In lieu of a cake though, my brother wanted blondies this year which I am totally down for! Don’t get me wrong, I love cake as much as the next girl, but there’s something to be said about a good blondie.

These blondies are my healthified take on the ones that you’ll find at one of those chain restaurants. It was always my most favorite dessert there. What with the warm blondie with white chocolate chips, some vanilla ice cream, and that AMAZING maple cream cheese sauce on top. Mmmm…

Sometimes you just need something simple in your life and these Everything but the... Celery Snacks! are just that. They’re made with just three ingredients and a few minutes of time. That’s it! Plus, you can make them ahead of time as part of meal prepping to have ready and hand for when a snack craving pops up.

It’s low carb, keto friendly, gluten-free, vegetarian, and a whoooole lot of other things too…

As American as apple pie…? I don’t know about you, but it’s been a good long while since I had an apple pie. Much less made one. And being as I’m Texas girl? I’ll stick with these Baked Caramel Apple Pie Taquitos!

Homemade apple pie filling is rolled up together with a creamy caramel filling and then dusted with cinnamon sugar for a perfectly simple take on apple pie, Tex-Mex style! These apple pie bites of goodness would be great as a part of breakfast (or brunch), or as dessert…

Galaxy Roll Cake

Despite the trying times, the word is still turning and life continues. What does that mean? I’m in the thick of it being pretty much everyone in my direct families birthday time. There’s about a three month segment of time in the summer that houses somewhere about 9 birthdays. This week? It’s not only my dad’s, and mine, it’s also Father’s Day! And that’s not to mention the next week!

Even with a touch-and-go grocery shopping situation, I was still able to come up with this bad ass cake. Since it also happens to be ‘Area 51’ week for my kiddo in out ‘fun weeks of summer’, I decided to make this out-of-this-word Galaxy Roll Cake…

Everything Chicken & Green Onion Cream Cheese Sauce

May 2, 2020 Amanda Plott

Okay, so I’ve been trying to circulate this Everything Chicken here for a few months now. For whatever reason the day, time, lighting, etc has never lined up to allow me to do so. Today, I set myself a goal specifically to make this chicken and get this recipe in your hot little hands. Finally.

This Everything Chicken & Green Onion Cream Cheese Sauce is to-die-for. It’s one of the most simple chicken recipes to make, looks high end, and tastes absolutely amazing. Everyone who has tried it, has loved it. So much so, that it’s basically in the standard rotation here at my house…
