Homemade biscuits are a classic comfort food that many of us grew up with. I decided to add a twist to them today with bacon, cheese, and some apple too! Nothing beats the warm, flaky goodness that comes from a fresh batch straight out of the oven. Fortunately, making biscuits from scratch is a simple process that can be enjoyed by both novice and experienced bakers alike.
These Bacon Apple Cheddar Biscuits are delicious on their own, but they can also be served with a variety of toppings. Some options include scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, or cooked veggies. Consider serving biscuits with sausage gravy or alongside breakfast foods like scrambled eggs and bacon. I turned mine into a breakfast sandwich!…
Turkey Wrapped BLT
If you're looking for a low-carb and gluten-free lunch option, then you're in for a treat with this turkey wrapped BLT. Instead of using bread, use turkey slices as a wrap for the bacon, lettuce, and tomato filling.
This twist on the classic BLT is not only healthier, but it's also just as satisfying. The savory and salty flavor of turkey pairs perfectly well with the crisp lettuce and juicy tomato, while the smoky bacon adds a rich flavor to the mix. This meal is easy to prepare and make-ahead, which makes it convenient for those who are busy but still want something delicious and nutritious for lunch…
Read MoreBacon, Chive & Cheddar Eggs in Clouds
Weekends are for sleeping in, having fun, and experiments in the kitchen. While my mom has been here visiting me, we've been having a lot of fun taking turns with playing around in the kitchen for breakfast in the mornings. And today was no different. We've discussed 'eggs in clouds' a few times before, but today was the day!
It's a pretty simple little breakfast that looks far more impressive than it really is with its handful of basic and minimal ingredients...
Read MorePoblano Chicken Alfredo Dip
Sometimes in my house we just like to have what we call ‘snacky dinner’, which usually means finger foods of one kind or another. This time around I was feeling chips and dip, but I wanted something with a little bit of a twist to it. That’s where this Poblano Chicken Alfredo Dip comes in. This Poblano Chicken Alfredo Dip is super easy to make and it’s tasty too. It’s where Italian alfredo comes together with the spice of a poblano pepper.
The spice level on this dip varies, depending a lot on how spicy your pepper ends up being. Mine was really tame which is why I ended up also using a little bit of pepper jack cheese too. And even then, it was still pretty mild…
Read MoreHealthified Cheddar Ranch Turkey Burger
I'm all for turkey burgers. When it comes to a lighter, leaner, and better-for-you burger, I haven't found anything that quite compares to what turkey can do for you. And these turkey burgers are no exception! They are moist, full of sneaky vegetables, and packed with flavors that you just can't get enough of.
I've always found that when I try to 'healthify' a beef burger, it comes out dry and rather dense. Turkey doesn't do that. In fact, when you add the egg, vegetable and sauce into the turkey meat, something rather magical happens. It becomes one of the best burgers that you'll ever put in your mouth.
To make this burger, I used my go-to formulation of meat to veggie to wet ingredients. It's a base that never fails me and always leaves me with a burger that no one can complain about…
Read MoreHealthy Blender Brownies
I’ve made healthy brownies in the past, but never quite like this. These Healthy Blender Brownies take it to the next level with all the ingredients easily being tossed into a blender and purred down into a smooth batter that you then bake and enjoy. Yep. That’s it. No bowl required for this one. Just a blender (or food processor) and the baking dish.
I used quick oats in mine, but I think regular old-fashioned oats would work just as well in these brownies. They bake up into a light brownie that’s just fudge enough for my liking without being overly wet or dense. I find that the more cakey brownies tend to be better for brownie sundaes anyway since they can soak up the ice cream goodness…
