5 Ingredient Tortellini & Vodka Sauce

May 19, 2023 Amanda Plott

It doesn’t get much more simple for dinner than this 5 Ingredient Tortellini & Vodka Sauce. That’s right, it’s just 5 ingredients and a few minutes of cooking until this meal in a bowl is ready to go for the family. You can easily swap some of the ingredients out to make this dinner into your own thing. Even changing the sauce would make the dish completely different from what I have here.

I went with a fully cooked chicken sausage that had Italian herbs and seasoning in it, but really you could go any which way with it as you wanted. Another good one would be a a sausage with feta cheese for a Greek twist or something with a spicy kick and a nod to something more Cajun…

Broccoli Cheese Twice Baked Potatoes

January 7, 2023 Amanda Plott

The russet potatoes are HUGE here right now and I love getting to play around with them to use them as more of a meal than a side, and the bigger ones allow me to do that more easily. I was also really vibing with broccoli and cheese so I thought I’d put the two together. These Broccoli Cheese Twice Baked Potatoes are so big that they could definitely be used as a meal in themself which is basically what I ended up doing.

They also can be made ahead of time and then put through the final bake when you’re ready to enjoy them. I had planned to end up with two servings, but they were so big that I opted to go with twice baked rather than just a loaded potato. So I cooked two up for dinner one night and saved the other two for lunch the next day…

Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole

May 9, 2020 Amanda Plott

If you’re looking for a pantry proof dinner, look no further! This Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole is a quick, easy to make, delicious dinner that is sure to please the whole family. It’s cooked all in one dish for easy clean up and only uses a handful of ingredients that are pretty versatile to change up if need be.

I kept this rather traditional casserole lightened up by using a greek yogurt in place of sour cream. I also used a reduced sodium soup instead of the plain-sane version. And of course, chicken breast as opposed to dark meat…

Broccoli & Cheese Tater Tot Breakfast Bake

November 4, 2019 Amanda Plott

As the Holidays draw ever closer, I’m always inclined to start thinking about casseroles. Especially when it comes to breakfast. I like to have something I can toss together quickly (or even the night before) so that I can serve up a group of people without breaking a sweat.

And trust me when I say that I’ve made my fair share of breakfast casseroles in the past.

This Broccoli & Cheese Tater Tot Breakfast Bake is based off of one that I made about a year ago. I’ve taken it a step further, lightening it even more, and using some veggie loaded tater tots instead of plain-jane traditional ones…
