Air Fryer Pizza Taquitos

August 2, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s the end of Summer and it’s H.O.T. HOT. I think the heat of the Summer has hit just about everyone this year. It’s been a doozy. That being said, I’m in kitchen cool down mode and trying to use my stove and oven as little as humanly possibly. So, that means it’s time to bust out the air fryer and the pressure cooker more! These are super easy to make and require very few ingredients. Plus, they only take a few minutes to cook up in the air fryer.

They come out perfectly crisp and cheesy and ready for dipping into your favorite pizza sauce. These are great all on their own as a snack or appetizer, but they’re also good on their own as a sub in for pizza night when served along with a side salad!…

Blooming Breakfast Quesadilla Ring

July 30, 2022 Amanda Plott

Oh man, it’s been a whirlwind of a few days. That’s always how the end of Summer is when we start to get into back-to-school though. And this year is no different. Especially because my kiddo is going to a new school this year on their own choosing to do so. So after the chaos of the last few days, it was nice to get to have some time this morning to make some breakfast.

After making my Blooming Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas, I decided that I should try the same idea with breakfast instead. So here you have this Blooming Breakfast Quesadilla Ring! It’s a fun and easy way to make breakfast quesadillas for the whole family!…

Caprese Jar Salad

July 27, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s salad season, and right now, I’m all about these jar salads. I love having a few ready made lunches on hand in the fridge that are put together and just need a good shake up to enjoy. They make for great grab-and-go lunches too since you can eat them straight out of the jar. This particular one is based one of my all time favorite salads, a caprese.

A caprese salad is tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and usually some sort of greens to go along with it. I started this one off with an Italian based dressing along with some basil pearled couscous to make the salad just a touch more filling…

Artichoke Salad

I was looking for something light and bright, and that didn’t involve the stove, for dinner and maybe even lunch this week. This Artichoke Salad has some big Mediterranean vibes and it really is so simple and delicious to make. It also ends up being gluten free and vegetarian too! One of the best parts is, that this salad can be made ahead of time, and any leftovers make a great grab-and-go lunch.

This Artichoke Salad starts off with its namesake - artichokes. It’s then got loads of other tasty bits like roasted red bell, tomatoes, and garbanzo beans. It can be served as part of a main meal or even as a side. I decided to serve mine over some baby spinach and baby kale and topped it all off with a few pieces of shaved parmesan…

Instant Pot Butter Chicken

July 21, 2022 Amanda Plott

If you’ve never had Butter Chicken before, you definitely need to try it. Butter chicken is a lot like tikka masala, but it more mild in the spice department. Tikka masala tends to have a bit more heat to it where as the butter chicken is the least spicy of these similar curry like dishes. Normally I go with tikka masala, but my kiddo wanted to try a non-spicy curry, so I decided to go with butter chicken instead. It’s great for a first timer.

This Butter Chicken is suuuuuper easy to make in the instant pot and is done in no time at all. Literally 15 minutes and you’ve got dinner ready to go. You get so much flavor packed into this dish that it’s hard to explain. It’s warm without being spicy at all and is amazing when served over jasmine rice…

Air Fryer French Toast

July 18, 2022 Amanda Plott

Did you know that you can make french toast in the air fryer? Well, as it turns out, you totally can and it’s super simple and easy to do! And you know what’s better? It only takes is six ingredients and just a few minutes of hands on time! I started this Air Fryer French Toast with some of my favorite whole wheat and multi-grain bread.

French toast is pretty standard across the board, but I did lighten the egg mixture up just a bit by using an unsweetened almond milk instead of cream. Trust me when I say, you won’t notice the simple swap. Other than that, the egg mixture is loaded up with plenty of cinnamon goodness…
