Key Lime Pie 'Cheesecake' Magic Pop

August 16, 2025 Amanda Plott

If you’re craving the tangy, creamy goodness of key lime pie but don’t want to surrender to the usual sugar-and-cream overload, say hello to your new obsession: Key Lime Pie Magic Pop. This delightful snack hits all the right notes—zesty lime, subtle sweetness, and a hint of crunch—with absolutely zero guilt. Yes, you heard that right. Healthy can be delicious, and this quirky twist proves it.

Why Rice Cakes?

Rice cakes often get a bad rap for being bland and boring, but they’re actually a fantastic base for a light and crunchy dessert. They’re super low in calories and provide that perfect crispy texture which plays beautifully against the smooth tang of key lime flavors. Plus, they’re versatile—ready for whatever healthy topping you throw their way.

The Key Lime Twist

Key lime pie is all about that perfect balance: tart, sweet, creamy, and slightly tangy. Instead of the traditional heavy filling, we use low-fat Greek yogurt mixed with fresh key lime juice and a touch of natural sweetener. This combo delivers the creamy and zesty explosion you expect without the added fat or sugar crash…

Simple Mango Salad + Lime Dressing

September 1, 2022 Amanda Plott

It may be cooling off outside finally, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t love salads any less. I was in need of a good ‘tropical’ style of salad to pair with something else that I’ve been working on for a couple of weeks now and this Simple Mango Salad + Lime Dressing slid into fill that role perfectly. This small and simple salad is deceiving. It’s delicate and delightful while being big and bold in flavors. And one of the best parts is that it only takes a handful of ingredients to make.

Being as it’s got just the limited ingredients, it doesn’t take long at all to make - including the homemade dressing which, let me just tell you, is SO good. That being said, there isn’t a whole lot here to substitute for lighter alternatives…

Jamaican Chili

April 14, 2021 Amanda Plott

So, I wanted some chili but with it being Spring I wanted a chili that maybe had a little more of a brightened up twist to it. That’s why I came across the idea for a Jamaican themed chili. It’s basically a pretty standard meat and bean chili that’s got all the delicious warm and bright flavors that you tend to see in Jamaican dishes.

There is some heat to this chili, but not a whole WHOLE lot. If you want it to be a touch hotter, try using a hotter pepper in place of the jalapeño. Think habanero or scotch bonnet! I’m not quite that brave myself so I stuck with the jalapeño…

Tofu Pad Thai

Pad Thai tends to be one of my favorite go-to asian themed dishes. I think it’s probably that way for a lot of people since it’s common, simple, delicious, and also tends to be one of the better-for-you options on a menu. I always like to take mine a step further when I can to get it meatless too.

Today I decided to make a take-out fake-out version of Tofu Pad Thai! It’s super quick and easy to make. Everything is put into one skillet for a quick toss and cook at the end. You could probably even get away with making most of the individual pieces ahead of time to have prepped and ready to heat up once ready for it at dinner time…

Southwest Chicken Soup (Instant Pot)

December 29, 2019 Amanda Plott

This Southwest Chicken Soup is based on one that I often get at fairly well known chain restaurant. It’s a broth-based soup that’s light and yet loaded with tons of southwest flavors. Instead of the usual pinto or black beans, chickpeas are used instead!

Bring as we’re at the tail end of the Holiday season, and there’s still a lot going on, I decided to once again make this soup in the pressure cooker. Why? It saves me time and energy. So, I kept this soup pretty simple and made all at one time and in one pot. Toss it in, cook it, and enjoy…
