Do you love sour cream chicken enchiladas but aren’t a fan of the guilt associated with them? These Collard Green (Tortilla-Free) Creamy Chicken Enchiladas are the perfect way to get your enchilada fix while going about it in a perfectly guilt-free way!

These enchiladas are not only stuffed with shredded chicken, but also with bonus veggies; zucchini and onions. And that's even before being wrapped in collared greens leaves instead of tortillas. Trust me when I say that you won’t miss the tortillas at all…

Bowls are all the rage right now. Breakfast bowls. Lunch Bowls. Dinner bowls. Healthy bowls! Fortunately, this bowl can be either of those. One of the best parts about this bowl though is that it’s super easy to put together. This bowl starts with some cooked quinoa and is layered with greens, avocado, pesto, and of course - an egg!

Everything’s better with an egg on it, right?…

Collard Green (Tortilla-Free) Enchiladas

October 30, 2017 Amanda Plott

These enchiladas aren't quite naked. But, they are pretty close.

Over the past couple of weeks, I've gotten a lot of local collard green leaves in my farm box that I just wasn't too sure what to do with. They're HUGE leaves too, and while most people in the south chope them up and cook them forever... I really wanted to make as much use out of their enormous size as I could manage.

When in doubt, make it into an enchilada...

Summer Breakfast Scramble

June 1, 2017 Amanda Plott

Today is bittersweet! It's the last day of my daughter being in the first grade. Eek! Where does the time go? Somewhere in between rushing her around to school this morning and dealing with a bit of a family emergency, I had to find time to get some food in my system. Since we're on the verge of summer, I thought it would be a great time to make myself a fun summer inspired breakfast scramble!

I'm calling this a Summer Breakfast Scramble, mostly because I'm making use of some summer greens, light feta cheese, and some tomatoes to boot. I've been on a bit of a breakfast kick lately, can you tell? It's just been eggs on top of eggs on top of eggs around here for the whole week. You can't blame me! The farm fresh eggs got me like 'whoa'...

Edamame & Avocado Power Sandwich

Did y'all know that April is National Soy Foods Month? There's probably not a girl out there that love soy anymore than I do either. I could turn around and be a vegetarian tomorrow if I really wanted to. And trust me, I have threatened myself with doing that very thing. For over a year now, I've strived to create at LEAST one vegetarian family dinner a week. Though generally it turns into more like two or three dinners a week.

Eating meatless meals a few times a week can not only be better for you, it can also save you a lot of money at the grocery store. I'm talking... I can easily shave $50 off my weekly grocery bill for a small family of three...
