Instant Pot Lazy Lasagna

March 29, 2022 Amanda Plott

I don’t know about you, but we have just two months left until Summer break and I am digging deep to try and muster the energy to get us there. As we’re getting ready for Summer, I’m doing everything I can to make life a bit more easy and low maintenance. This Instant Pot Lazy Lasagna fits the bill for exactly what it says it is: lasagna on the lazy.

So if you’re feeling a hankering for lasagna, but don’t want to fuss with the layers and pots and pans that go along with it, this Instant Pot version is where it’s at! Plus, as usual, I made it just a little bit more healthified along the way too!…

Garlic Parmesan Air Fried Chickpeas

Looking for a tasty sticky-snack that’s quick and easy to make? Well, look no further. These Garlic Parmesan Air Fried Chickpeas are perfect to have on hand. They’re gluten free and vegetarian too! Plus they take hardly any effort to make and have a big bold POP of flavor. The air fryer perfectly cooks them up so that they’re just a little soft on the inside and have a crispy cheese crunch on the outside.

For these Garlic Parmesan Air Fried Chickpeas, I used my own homemade seasoning blend and some parmesan cheese. Yep, really that’s all you need to make these other than a little bit of oil. Just 4 ingredients to a healthy snack that anyone can enjoy…

Parmesan Rosemary Bread

Sometimes you just need a really good bread to go with dinner to sop up the leftovers of a good soup or stew. And this Parmesan Rosemary Bread is perfect for that. It’s got rosemary and parmesan baked right into the bread so there’s that bump of added flavor for whatever you happen to pair this bread with. Though if we’re being honest, this bread would also make a really good sandwich!

The bread dough is most easily made in a bread machine, but I also included the directions for making it if you don’t have a bread machine. Either way you go about it, this is a great yeast bread recipe whether you’re new or experienced with working with yeast dough…

Baked Truffle Potato Wedges

August 22, 2021 Amanda Plott

I don’t know anyone that doesn’t like potato wedges, and I don’t know about you, but when I have a steak I want a potato to go with it. But, being as I wore myself out on baked potatoes, I decided to make some potato wedges with my steak this time. Not just any potato wedges, but ones that were coated in crispy parmesan and some truffle salt!

Truffle is definitely one of those flavors that you either love or you hate. I’m one of the people that loves it. Truffle oil can go a little too far for me, but I find that truffle salt can be used with a lot more success. I like to add it to ketchup when having the condiment with something a little more high brow. What? Don’t fancy fries deserve fancy ketchup…

Air Fryer Lasagna Fritta

August 15, 2020 Amanda Plott

Pasta is one of my favorite things. So is cheese. So, of course I love myself a good Lasagna Fritta. What’s a Lasagna Fritta, you ask? It’s an Olive Garden appetizer dish that I adore. But, you know… fried stuff. Being as I’ve got a handy dandy air fryer, I thought I’d try my hand at a Lasagna Fritta copy cat dish that’s made a bit more healthy!

This Air Fryer Lasagna Fritta got rave reviews from around the table. I literally got a thumbs up from my brother and was told that I should make it again sometime really soon. I too was surprised with how GREAT this Air Fryer Lasagna Fritta turned out. Air fryers can be one of the most amazing kitchen gadgets to have. For cooking CERTAIN things…

Chicken Parmesan Lasagna

August 5, 2020 Amanda Plott

Almost everyone loves a good lasagna. It’s hard not to. Noodles, sauce, cheese… it’s a heavenly mixture. Today I decided to take it step further and turn a regular lasagna into one that’s chicken based! No, no… not alfredo. Chicken parmesan style!

Chicken parmesan is another Italian-American favorite. Breaded chicken, sauce, and cheese. Who says lasagna has to be sausage? With ground chicken used instead, and the addition of some bread crumbs for crunchy texture, this lasagna is the perfect blend of two classics…
