California Cottage Cheese Bowl
What can I say? When I originally posted this tasty little lunch, I hadn't had cottage cheese in a long time. In fact... I couldn't even remember when the last time was that I had it! These days though? It's a pretty regular fridge staple for me. And it all started right here with this quick and easy recipe!
Cottage cheese had my mind ever since my mom mentioned it a few weeks before when she was trying to think of a way to make the Skinny PB&J Parfait even lighter. We didn't get very far with the notion since... I'm not a huge fan of sweetness with my cottage cheese for whatever reason. I'm still not onboard with that...
Read MoreBacon Apple Cheddar Biscuits
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!…
Dill Pickle Pasta Salad
So… just hear me out. Pickle flavored stuff has kind of become the trendy thing these days and let me just say, I don’t mind it at all. I love me a good pickle. Dill pickle that is. None of that sweet bread and butter nonsense. This Dill Pickle Pasta Salad is pretty amazing. It’s light, tangy, and super easy to make too.
I know it might sound a little weird at first, but I promise it’s one of the best pasta salads I’ve ever had. And I’m southern so I’ve had a lot of different kinds of pasta salad. I lightened this pasta salad up and made it a bit better-for-you but first subbing in a whole wheat pasta. I also kicked the sour cream out and used a plain fat-free greek yogurt instead. And obviously a light mayonnaise was the way to go…
Read MoreBuffalo Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers
These Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers are where it’s at! They’re low carb and gluten free while being absolutely delicious and easy to make too. If you love buffalo chicken, then these are the stuffed peppers for you. I served mine with a side of celery and carrots with some light blue cheese dip, but it would also be good with some rice or even a side salad.
I lightened these peppers up by swapping in some greek yogurt and light blue cheese dressing in place of mayo and sour cream. I also used reduced fat cheeses and boneless skinless chicken breast that I cooked up in my instant pot and shredded myself. But, store bought or left over chicken will work too!…
Read MoreCheeseburger Gnocchi
I’ll be honest in saying that anytime I’ve had gnocchi before, it’s usually been in an Italian soup or as part of a Mediterranean sheet pan. Which, both are amazing. It did make me wonder though - why don’t I use gnocchi more often as a part of other cuisine styles? Enter Cheeseburger Gnocchi. Gnocchi are lovely little pillows of pasta that are usually made at least partially with potato or some other vegetable. It kind of makes them a really good filler or substitute for traditional pasta.
This Cheeseburger Gnocchi starts off with the gnocchi which is sautéed quickly in a pan and then set aside. After that? It’s cooking up all the meat and veggies. I kept this light by using a whole lot of onion and a lean ground beef instead of, well, not lean. After a quick simmer, the cheese and cream is added and you end up with a perfectly cheesy burger dish!…
