Biscuit & Gravy Magic Pop

August 13, 2025 Amanda Plott

Y’all, let’s talk about one of the ultimate down-home comfort flavors—biscuit and gravy—but with a guilt-free upgrade that won’t have you doing a food coma after breakfast. Enter: Biscuit & Gravy Magic Pop. Yep, you heard me right. This isn’t your grandma’s southern breakfast, but it’s still packed with all the cozy, creamy, savory vibes you crave, just made a little lighter and a whole lot healthier.

Why Biscuit & Gravy Magic Pop?

Traditional biscuit and gravy is a carb-loaded, buttery, meaty dream—delicious but kind of a heart attack on a plate. I wanted to keep the spirit alive but lighten the load, so I swapped out the biscuits for rice cakes. Not those sad, plain ones either—the kind with some crunch, a bit of salt, and a blank canvas ready for flavor.

Then, instead of that heavy, creamy white gravy heavy with cream and sausage fat, I whipped up a healthier, plant-based gravy that still hits that savory, peppery note without the guilt or the grease…

Skinny Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole

April 25, 2023 Amanda Plott

Several years back I whipped up this wonderful breakfast casserole for myself for Mother’s Day. It’s so easy almost anyone could make it for the wonderful mother in their life. This breakfast (or brunch) casserole is full of the homestyle flavors of biscuits and gravy, but lightened up to give mom a guilt free meal!

Since this is an older recipe, I decided to revisit it, and wouldn’t you know it? Not far off from Mother’s Day again. It’s a happy coincidence!…

Chicken & Herb Gravy

December 13, 2022 Amanda Plott

Keeping it simple today with this Chicken & Herb Gravy! It’s an easy chicken dish that cooks up in one pan and is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The recipe is easily to double for a larger family, but I stuck with two servings. This dish starts out with searing the chicken and then using the drippings and good bits at the bottom of the skillet as the base for your gravy.

Homemade gravy is always the way to go and this one is super simple. Roux, broth, herbs, and you’re done! The chicken is then finished off cooking in the homemade gravy and is great served with potatoes or even over some rice…

Healthified Chicken & Mash Bowl

August 8, 2022 Amanda Plott

Okay, so there's this fried chicken chain restaurant that honestly I couldn't tell you the last time I ate at. They have these horribly amazing 'famous bowls' that I used to get back when I was younger and more naive when it came to food.

Fast-forward to today and I don't think that I could stomach sitting in that restaurants parking lot, much less eating anything that came out of it. Never mind that particular 'famous bowl' is nearly a whopping 800 calories and full of who-knows-what.

Even so, I decided to take on the task of re-creating that chicken bowl into one that I could eat and be proud of without feeling guilty...

Vegetarian Breakfast Enchiladas

July 6, 2022 Amanda Plott

I was thinking the other day about enchiladas and I started to wonder… why are they always for lunch or dinner? Isn’t there a way to have them for breakfast? Enchiladas for breakfast? You bet! These Vegetarian Breakfast Enchiladas are made by rolling up vegetarian sausage, eggs, and cheese up in a tortilla and then baking them in a homemade gravy.

They’re absolutely delicious and perfect for making as a weekend breakfast or brunch. Plus, you can always make them ahead of time and then heat them for the final bake when you’re ready to enjoy. They reheat well too if you make a batch and have leftovers, you can always enjoy them through the week for a quick breakfast bite…
