Whole Wheat Blueberry Oat Bars

May 4, 2020 Amanda Plott

These Whole Wheat Blueberry Oat Bars are a take on a raspberry version that I made a while back. Spring time always gets me into a lemon and blueberry mode, I’m not really sure why. Maybe it’s because blueberries are more in season and you can find packs of fresh big beautiful ones. Either way, these Whole Wheat Blueberry Oat Bars are easy to make and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert!

Unlike the blueberry oat bars I’ve made before, these ones are thick and hearty. Less of a snack and more along the lines of being used as part of meal, unless you cut each of the 16 bars in half again…

Okay, so I’ve been trying to circulate this Everything Chicken here for a few months now. For whatever reason the day, time, lighting, etc has never lined up to allow me to do so. Today, I set myself a goal specifically to make this chicken and get this recipe in your hot little hands. Finally.

This Everything Chicken & Green Onion Cream Cheese Sauce is to-die-for. It’s one of the most simple chicken recipes to make, looks high end, and tastes absolutely amazing. Everyone who has tried it, has loved it. So much so, that it’s basically in the standard rotation here at my house…

Cinnamon Raisin Bread (Bread Machine)

April 25, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’ve been taking the time lately to bake my little heart out. Baking has always been my weakest point, so I figured there was no time like the present to start working on that. One of the biggest steps I made in this was getting my hands on a new bread machine. I’ve found that access to a machine to do most of the hands on parts of making bread dough has eased my fears.

This Cinnamon Raisin Bread is perfect as part of a wholesome breakfast. With allowing the machine to do most of the work and only a few minutes of actual hands-on time, this bread is a great guilt-free way to feel like you’re indulging a bit…

Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

I have a cookie monster in my house. …And she comes in the shape of a 10 year old girl. It’s amazing how I bought a huge container of chocolate chip cookies from the store this week and magically 3/4ths of the cookies have disappeared in the matter of just a couple of days.

That being said, I’m not about to venture out for another box. So, I thought I would whip up a delicious chocolate chip cookie inspired dessert of some sort. This Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake is the perfect guilt-free way to enjoy chocolate chip cookies any time…

One-Pot Goulash

April 18, 2020 Amanda Plott

We’re all trying to be a lot more mindful about how we are cooking and eating these days. I know that in my house, we’re trying to get as much use as we can out of every item in the pantry and fridge. Very little is allowed to go to waste and using up pantry staples has become the name of the game. Goulash is one of those old-fashioned tried and true recipes that is versatile, easy, and of course… delicious!

This One-Pot Goulash is pretty standard as far as a goulash goes. Beef, lots of tomatoes, and noodles. It cooks up in just over half an hour and is enough to feed a large group or a small family twice over…

Steak House Honey Wheat Oat Bread (Bread Machine)

April 16, 2020 Amanda Plott

Baking has been the name of the game in my house lately. What else is there to do when you’re stuck where you are for days, weeks, and months on end? When we decided to make some steak for dinner, I thought it was high time to whip up some of that famous ‘steal house’ bread that we all know and love.

You know the bread that I’m talking about. The soft, sweet, fluffy brown bread that is often served up with a whipped honey butter. This bread is exactly like that one. The only difference is that it’s homemade and in a larger loaf form!…
