Chunky Monkey Waffles

February 2, 2023 Amanda Plott

We all know that fun flavor of ice cream ‘chunk monkey’. It’s been one of my favorite of Ben & Jerry’s ever since I knew of it’s existence. It’s certainly not common to come across a banana ice cream, but let me just say, it’s so so good. Something about the banana and the chocolate chunks and pieces of walnut are amazing.

Sometimes I like to pair those three things together in other dessert or breakfast dishes to get that same trio of deliciousness. These Chunky Monkey Waffles are super easy to make with a power protein mix and then of course the chunk monkey add ins of banana, chocolate, and nuts!…

Chunky Monkey Blended & Baked Oatmeal

June 3, 2021 Amanda Plott

So, you know that famous ice cream flavor that we all know and love? Yeah, I sort of turned that into one of the best oatmeals I’ve ever eaten. And if you aren’t a fan of oatmeal - this might be just the right recipe to get you turned onto it! Blending up the oats into more of a powder takes away that oat texture but you still get all the health benefits.

This Chunky Monkey Blended & Baked Oatmeal ends up being vegetarian and gluten free. The oats and banana are pureed together before chocolate and walnuts are stirred in. It’s all baked up together to make two servings of a delicious ice cream inspired treat….

Cranberry-Nut Cinnamon Chex™ Mix

December 9, 2015 Amanda Plott

My little girl is a huge Chex™ fan, and is also my big-little helper in the kitchen. I like to find fun and simple recipes that she can easily help me with, if not just do on her own. So, I decided that we should start a new tradition to “Mix up the Holiday Magic” with allowing her to pick out her favorite Chex cereal and we use it up in a recipe together.

This year we decided to go with the Cinnamon Chex cereal. I was able to find the perfect Chex Party Mix to make with it.

Seriously, this mix is delicious and couldn't be more easy to whip up. I was really glad that I decided to go with a sweet treat this time around instead of the savory ones that I've come to know, love, and almost expect. This cranberry-orange mix was a delightful change of pace. Plus, I loved that it was something I could let my little one help me with...

Cranberry & Walnut Brussel Sprouts

December 9, 2014 Amanda Plott

Can you believe that I've never cooked brussel sprouts before?! Honestly, I'd never even eaten a brussel sprout until about a year ago when I was downtown at this fun little restaurant called The Lucky Robot. They have these crispy pan seared (or fried) brussel sprouts that are served with some sort of kicked up soy dipping sauce. A-ma-zing!

I've been looking for an excuse (as if I needed one) to make brussel sprouts ever since.

With another major foodie-holiday rolling up on us all quickly, I thought that a side of some brussel sprouts with cranberries, walnuts, and blue cheese would make a great tasty side dish for any holiday meal!...
