Skinny Pimento Cheese

September 2, 2023 Amanda Plott

I'm a Texas girl and I have a natural love for pimento cheese. I think it's in our veins down here. A staple in our fridge and our lives.

I know from personal experiences that a lot of people in the northern states cannot buy this in the store. Honestly, I was shocked when my grandmother, a Texan born and raised, told me that she's never seen pimento cheese in any grocery store in Oregon (where she now lives.) And even more shocked when someone else from the north had no idea what I was talking about. "Oh, like... that has olives in it?" - No! That's pimento loaf! Totally different…

Lightened up Smothered Chicken Burritos are an incredibly flavorful and health-conscious rendition of the beloved Mexican staple. The star of these mouthwatering burritos is the seasoned up chicken breast, infused with a tantalizing blend of spices that imparts a delightful smokiness and tang.

Departing from the conventional high-fat components, these burritos opt for nutritious low carb wrap style tortilla, all generously smothered in a homemade green chili cheese sauce. For an invigorating touch, a dollop of creamy Greek yogurt or a spritz of lime juice can be artfully drizzled on top…

California Cottage Cheese Bowl

June 28, 2023 Amanda Plott

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!
