Fruit Cocktail Cake (3 Ingredient)

June 18, 2023 Amanda Plott

I’m all about simplifying recipes without compromising taste. That's why I’m excited to introduce our three-ingredient fruit cocktail cake, a delightful treat that is as delicious as it is effortless to make. By combining a can of fruit cocktail, a box of yellow cake mix, and eggs, you can create a moist and flavorful cake that is perfect for any occasion.

The best part is that this cake is made without any oil or butter added, which means that it’s bit more healthy than it would be otherwise. I decided to go with a bundt pan and to avoid any frosting just because it wasn’t really needed here…

Bacon Apple Cheddar Biscuits

June 15, 2023 Amanda Plott

Homemade biscuits are a classic comfort food that many of us grew up with. I decided to add a twist to them today with bacon, cheese, and some apple too! Nothing beats the warm, flaky goodness that comes from a fresh batch straight out of the oven. Fortunately, making biscuits from scratch is a simple process that can be enjoyed by both novice and experienced bakers alike.

These Bacon Apple Cheddar Biscuits are delicious on their own, but they can also be served with a variety of toppings. Some options include scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, or cooked veggies. Consider serving biscuits with sausage gravy or alongside breakfast foods like scrambled eggs and bacon. I turned mine into a breakfast sandwich!…

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…

Bacon, Chive & Cheddar Eggs in Clouds

June 7, 2023 Amanda Plott

Weekends are for sleeping in, having fun, and experiments in the kitchen. While my mom has been here visiting me, we've been having a lot of fun taking turns with playing around in the kitchen for breakfast in the mornings. And today was no different. We've discussed 'eggs in clouds' a few times before, but today was the day!

It's a pretty simple little breakfast that looks far more impressive than it really is with its handful of basic and minimal ingredients...

Poblano Chicken Alfredo Dip

June 4, 2023 Amanda Plott

Sometimes in my house we just like to have what we call ‘snacky dinner’, which usually means finger foods of one kind or another. This time around I was feeling chips and dip, but I wanted something with a little bit of a twist to it. That’s where this Poblano Chicken Alfredo Dip comes in. This Poblano Chicken Alfredo Dip is super easy to make and it’s tasty too. It’s where Italian alfredo comes together with the spice of a poblano pepper.

The spice level on this dip varies, depending a lot on how spicy your pepper ends up being. Mine was really tame which is why I ended up also using a little bit of pepper jack cheese too. And even then, it was still pretty mild…

Healthified Cheddar Ranch Turkey Burger

May 31, 2023 Amanda Plott

I'm all for turkey burgers. When it comes to a lighter, leaner, and better-for-you burger, I haven't found anything that quite compares to what turkey can do for you. And these turkey burgers are no exception! They are moist, full of sneaky vegetables, and packed with flavors that you just can't get enough of.

I've always found that when I try to 'healthify' a beef burger, it comes out dry and rather dense. Turkey doesn't do that. In fact, when you add the egg, vegetable and sauce into the turkey meat, something rather magical happens. It becomes one of the best burgers that you'll ever put in your mouth.

To make this burger, I used my go-to formulation of meat to veggie to wet ingredients. It's a base that never fails me and always leaves me with a burger that no one can complain about…
