Breakfast Waffledilla

November 3, 2022 Amanda Plott

Look, I don’t know - I love my waffle maker and I am always trying to come up with new and fun ways to use it that aren’t just standard waffles. This Breakfast Waffledilla is definitely that. It combines all the best parts of a breakfast quesadilla and stuffs it into waffle form. That’s right, this is full of bacon, egg, and cheese goodness and only takes a few minutes of hands on time.

I added some jalapeños to mine, but some fresh pico would be another good addition. There were really only a few things I could do to this to keep it lightened up, and that mostly involved the tortillas. I went with a low carb whole wheat tortilla that’s only 45 calories for one tortilla. I also went with a low sodium center cut bacon, because no one can ever tell the difference!…

Maple & Bourbon Banana Bread

Why make standard plain jane banana bread when you can have this Maple & Bourbon Banana Bread? I took a standard banana bread and pretty much healthified it by subbing out the brown sugar for a brown sugar blend. I also used a greek yogurt in place of any sour cream. Other than that? I added in some pecans, bourbon, and maple syrup for the flavor.

My maple syrup was bourbon aged too, which gave me extra bourbon flavor. And once it was all done and still warm? I poured just a little bit more of the maple syrup on top to let it soak into the bread. More flavor. More maple. More moisture. More sweetness!…

Blooming Breakfast Quesadilla Ring

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!…

Vegetarian Breakfast Enchiladas

July 6, 2022 Amanda Plott

I was thinking the other day about enchiladas and I started to wonder… why are they always for lunch or dinner? Isn’t there a way to have them for breakfast? Enchiladas for breakfast? You bet! These Vegetarian Breakfast Enchiladas are made by rolling up vegetarian sausage, eggs, and cheese up in a tortilla and then baking them in a homemade gravy.

They’re absolutely delicious and perfect for making as a weekend breakfast or brunch. Plus, you can always make them ahead of time and then heat them for the final bake when you’re ready to enjoy. They reheat well too if you make a batch and have leftovers, you can always enjoy them through the week for a quick breakfast bite…

Blueberry Waffles

June 18, 2022 Amanda Plott

I have pretty much been in love with my waffle maker ever since I got it, if you couldn’t tell. I’ve been making all sorts of waffles. Sweet ones, savory ones, some with mixes, others from scratch. I’ve got to say though that these Blueberry Waffles take the cake. They’re made all in one bowl with very real and very simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand.

As I’ve been going through these different kinds of waffles, I’ve been playing around with different amounts and ingredients. These Blueberry Waffles end up being a bit lighter in both color and texture. And the blueberries in there add some texture and just a bit of chew…

Rainbow Pride Donuts

Continuing with Pride month and wonderful rainbow inspired eats and treats! I’m no stranger to colorful donuts, but these Rainbow Pride Donuts are the brightest and boldest ones I’ve made yet. It’s a happy coincidence that my donut pan is also heart shaped, which made these Pride donuts just that much more perfect!

To keep these donuts lightened up, I of course baked them. I also used less sugar and threw some whole wheat white flour in there. Other than that, these rainbow beauties are fairly standard to any other baked donuts. Except for being full of Pride and color!…
