Vegetarian Cheeseburger Crunch Wraps

April 11, 2023 Amanda Plott

Who doesn’t love a good crunch wrap? While they’re tasty from the taco franchise that we all love to hate and hate to love, you can absolutely make them at home quickly, easily, and in a way that is sooo much better for you. Today I doubled down and flipped the script making a crunch wrap that not only had a cheeseburger twist, but is also meatless!

These Vegetarian Cheeseburger Crunch Wraps are layered very similar to a standard taco crunch wrap except I’ve used cheeseburger toppings and condiments in lieu of taco ones. We’re talking pickle, ketchup, mustard, burger ‘meat’, cheese, and even lettuce and tomato too…

Stuffed Buffalo Chicken

April 5, 2023 Amanda Plott

We are heading off tomorrow for a birthday trip to Vegas with the kiddo turning 13! I can hardly believe that I’ll have a teenager when I get home! With packing and planning for this trip I’ve been on easy mode when it comes to meals lately and this Stuffed Buffalo Chicken is one of those super easy dinners that you can throw together and have ready in no time.

I made this dish a little better-for-you by swapping in reduced fat alternatives to cheese and also using a salt-free ranch seasoning. I also stuck with boneless skinless chicken breast. Outside of that? This recipe is pretty simple with just a handful of ingredients…

Baked Cheesy BBQ Chicken

Dinner truly doesn’t get more simple or easy than this Baked Cheesy BBQ Chicken. With just a handful of ingredients you can have the main part of dinner done and ready to go. It’s basic. Simple. Easy. And cheesy! To start this easy dinner off, you mix up some BBQ sauce with a little extra garlic goodness.

After that you marinate, if you have time, and then bake it until it’s almost done. It’s then topped off with cheese, red onion, and some pickled jalapeños to give just a little kick! I lightened this up by using a reduced fat cheese, but other than that there really isn’t much else to do since there’s so few ingredients…

Mediterranean Feta & Lemon Chicken

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…

Extra Cheesy Baked Macaroni (Mac Hack)

Sometimes you just have to be a little cheesy. But today, we’re going to be extra cheesy! This Extra Cheesy Baked Macaron is made all in ONE PAN and is tossed together to bake up in the oven in just over half an hour. The best part is? It’s some of the most rich, creamy, decadent macaroni dishes that you’ll ever make. That blue box of powdered crap has nothing on these noods!

I’ve heard about this hack before of being able to one pan macaroni in the oven, but I’d never tried it until today. I’ll be honest in saying that I was super impressed that it worked so well! I mean, why would you make macaroni any other way?…

Cheesy Cauliflower Pizza Casserole

Happy New Year! We’re kicking 2023 off with a twist on an American staple - pizza! Yes, you can have your pizza and eat it too. This Cheesy Cauliflower Pizza Casserole is the best of both the world of pizza and the world of eating better. It’s cheesy, saucy, easy to make, and delicious too! Another good part is that you don’t need many ingredients to make this casserole either.

You can also customize this casserole to suit your specific pizza tastes. I went with turkey pepperoni since it’s just as good as any pepperoni but has fewer calories, but you could also go with jalapeño, olives, sausage, etc…
