Greek 'Salsa'

October 5, 2025 Amanda Plott

Let’s toss the word salsa into the Mediterranean blender and see what dances out—Greek salsa! No, it's not about salsa dancing with a side of feta cheese, though that sounds like a party waiting to happen. We're talking about a vibrant, tangy, fresh side that takes the fiery heart of traditional salsa and marries it with the crisp, herbaceous soul of Greek cuisine. It’s like the culinary equivalent of a feta cheese and tomato love story with a lemony, zucchini-filled happy ending.

What Is Greek ‘Salsa’ Anyway?

The idea of Greek salsa isn't ancient or tradition-locked, but it’s an inspired mash-up that combines the bright, fresh ingredients of a Greek salad with the easy, chunky, spoon-it-on-anything attitude of salsa. Imagine the classic salsa components—tomatoes, onions, maybe peppers—getting a Mediterranean makeover with zucchini, kalamata olives, tangy feta, fresh tomatoes, and a drizzle of lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Bam! A saucy, chunky dip that’s guilt-free, fresh, and totally crave-worthy…

Loaded Wedge Salad

August 2, 2024 Amanda Plott

Wedge Salads are a classic, a traditional starter or appetizer that you will find commonly on just about anyone's dinner table. After making my Healthified Gorgonzola Port 'Blue Cheese' Cheese Dressing a few weeks back, I knew that it would be the perfect dressing for a wedge salad. Not just any wedge salad though. I wanted one that was loaded. Fully. With all of the fun naughty bits.

I'm talking bacon, egg, cheese, and of course... tomatoes. This is the wedge salad of my dreams and that homemade dressing is an absolute must! It took me a few good years and a lot of trial and error to get the most amazing healthified blue cheese dressing recipe that you'll come across...

Beef Braciole

July 16, 2023 Amanda Plott

Beef braciole is more than just a dish; it's a culinary adventure that will transport your taste buds straight to the heart of Italy. This traditional Italian favorite never fails to impress with its exquisite flavors and irresistible textures.

At the core of this mouthwatering dish lies thinly sliced beef, prepared with some care to ensure tenderness. But what truly sets beef braciole apart is the cheesy stuffing that takes it to another level. A symphony of breadcrumbs, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and aromatic herbs harmoniously blend together to create a savory sensation that will leave you craving more…

California Cottage Cheese Bowl

June 28, 2023 Amanda Plott

What can I say? When I originally posted this tasty little lunch, I hadn't  had cottage cheese in a long time. In fact... I couldn't even remember when the last time was that I had it! These days though? It's a pretty regular fridge staple for me. And it all started right here with this quick and easy recipe!

Cottage cheese had my mind ever since my mom mentioned it a few weeks before when she was trying to think of a way to make the Skinny PB&J Parfait even lighter. We didn't get very far with the notion since... I'm not a huge fan of sweetness with my cottage cheese for whatever reason. I'm still not onboard with that...

Turkey Wrapped BLT

June 11, 2023 Amanda Plott

If you're looking for a low-carb and gluten-free lunch option, then you're in for a treat with this turkey wrapped BLT. Instead of using bread, use turkey slices as a wrap for the bacon, lettuce, and tomato filling.

This twist on the classic BLT is not only healthier, but it's also just as satisfying. The savory and salty flavor of turkey pairs perfectly well with the crisp lettuce and juicy tomato, while the smoky bacon adds a rich flavor to the mix. This meal is easy to prepare and make-ahead, which makes it convenient for those who are busy but still want something delicious and nutritious for lunch…

Sheet Pan Tomato Soup

December 19, 2022 Amanda Plott

When it’s overcast and chilly outside, one of the first things that I start craving is tomato soup! This Sheet Pan Tomato Soup is about as easy as soup can get to make. You literally put everything on a baking sheet, roast it, and then puree it down into a soup. It’s that easy? Yes. Yes, it is exactly that easy. And on top of that this soup is super low calorie, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and tastes amazing.

With tomato soup being this easy to make, who needs the canned stuff? Not me! What’s better is that this soup is made with literally just a handful of ingredients. Just five main ones and then some seasoning. Tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, and oil. That’s it!…
