Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cakes

February 20, 2023 Amanda Plott

Yep. That’s right, you can make delicious chocolate lava cakes right in your pressure cooker in no time at all. These Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cakes couldn’t be more simple to make with just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes of hands on time you can have dessert ready to impress! What’s better is that these cakes are low carb naturally.

I lightened these up by swapping out ALL of the sugar for a natural sweetener. I went with a stevia that measures cup for cup like sugar, but you could really go with any natural sweeter that measures just the same…

Air Fryer S'mores

February 17, 2023 Amanda Plott

It’s true. You don’t need a campfire to make a s’more! You can make a s’more in the comfort of your home with the same basic ingredients and an air fryer. One of the best parts is that you can have several of them done at the same time with no fussing around with sticks! Being as s’mores only require a whopping three ingredients, there isn’t much to make better-for-you here outside of the chocolate and graham crackers.

I went with a low fat graham and you can definitely swap in some dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate here too. Outside of that? A s’more is a s’more…

Mediterranean Feta & Lemon Chicken

February 5, 2023 Amanda Plott

This Mediterranean Feta & Lemon Chicken is packed full of flavor and it’s all to do with the lovely marinade that it sits in for just thirty minutes. Only good, clean, and fresh ingredients go into it too. I don’t know about anyone else, but I can’t say no to a good feta cheese dish anyway and this chicken is just about as good as it gets.

Being as the ingredients here are super simple, there isn’t a whole lot to do here to lighten this up other than by using a fat free cheese, which is exactly what i did. I also used boneless skinless chicken breast and it was fantastic…

Toaster Oven Egg-In-A-Hole

January 24, 2023 Amanda Plott

I feel like I keep saying ‘it’s at that point in the year when I’m too busy to…’ when in reality… I’m just always too busy. I remember hearing once, that while parenting, things get easier in some ways but harder in others. And let me just tell you, that’s the truth. I don’t spend the same amount of time toting the little around from dance class or cheer practice, that’s true. I do spend more time checking in, going to appointments, and working on homework and bigger projects.

Either way, I don’t have any more time now than I did before. But, I still enjoy each and every moment I get with the kiddo. This morning? We’re getting off to an appointment so early that I will barely time for breakfast. Enter this Toaster Oven Egg-In-A-Hole!…

Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookie Cups

January 10, 2023 Amanda Plott

These Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookie Cups are my JAM. Hah. Get it? I’m feeling extra punny today apparently. So these cookie cups are similar to one I did back a few months ago, but instead of hazelnut spread I decided to go with PB&J! Because who doesn’t like a good peanut butter and jelly anything? Well, other than the poor folks who are allergic. Which if you are? This obviously isn’t the recipe for you.

Now. These cookie cups start off with a refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough. It’s proportioned and ready to go so it makes life super simple. Just pop the dough into the mini cupcake pans and bake away…

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!…
