Healthified Turkey Lettuce Wraps

April 13, 2018 Amanda Plott

So, here's the thing... I've been making these for a few years now. Lettuce wraps are one of my favorite things to order from P.F. Changs or Pei Wei, mostly because they are sooo delicious and I don't feel quite as guilty eating them as other options on the menu at either place.

Naturally, I always try and recreate my restaurant faves at home so that I can enjoy them and make them even more guilt-free by being completely in control of what's going into them. These lettuce wraps were no different...

Low-Carb Broccoli Cheese Dip (Slow Cooker)

March 26, 2018 Amanda Plott

Everyone should know by now that I am a cheese freak. A cheeseoholic. A cheese master. ...I guess one could even say that I'm a bit... cheesy. Buh-dum-psssh. Queso is usually my go-to cheesy wonder of amazingness, but I thought today I would change it up a bit and go with something a bit more traditional and Americanized.

What's more American than broccoli and cheese? Besides Apple Pie or Baseball. Neither of which would make for a very good cheese dip...

She shoots... she scores! Annnd the crowd goes wild!

These Skinny BBQ Beef & Cheddar Bites are a slam dunk! As a Texan, I'm a girl that knows her way around both game-day and BBQ. So, when I'm trying to get into the spirit and prepare for the big tournament, I more often than not combine the two into one perfectly popable bite!

I know that with planning on watching a game with friends and family, it's best to make snacks that are quick, easy, and mostly hands off. That's why I love to use my electric pressure cooker and a few other kitchen hacks along the way...

Guinness Meatballs (Instant Pot)

Happy belated St. Patrick's Day, y'all! Of course, I couldn't leave you all weekend without getting these Guinness Meatballs out here for everyone to enjoy. And now... what's a girl supposed to do with leftover beer? Especially an Irish Stout?

Well, if you're looking for a last minute end of the weekend St. Patty's Day meal (or appetizer), or just have some leftover Guinness on hand, then this is for you! These Guinness Meatballs couldn't be any quicker or easy to make; merely mix, roll, and toss them into a pressure cooker with that Healthified Guinness BBQ Sauce for a few minutes and BOOM you're done...

Spring is upon us here in Austin Texas, which for me means entertaining friends and family... and also means it's time for deviled eggs. Not just any deviled eggs though, we're talking fully loaded in a way that I never really thought of before. These Bacon & Cheddar 'Fully Loaded' Deviled Eggs are perfectly simple to make and YES... are as fully loaded as they can come; with bacon, greek yogurt, green onions and even their fair share of cheddar!

Deviled eggs are a go-to appetizer or snack for me anytime I'm playing hostess. Why? The reasoning is simple, just as simple as they are to make! The ease of making deviled eggs is what puts them at the top of my list; boil eggs, mix, fill and chill! That's all there is to it. Plus this 'fully loaded' version takes the classic up a notch (or several) for one beautiful bite of deliciousness!...

Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

March 5, 2018 Amanda Plott

With the schedule around my house changing up a bit recently, I've had to make some adjustments to when and how I cook. So, I've been cooking a lot less and mostly just for myself since my little one is still a rather picky eater and lately dinner time is our mommy-daughter time.

That being said, dinner time for me has included quicker, easier dishes that are either meal prepped or a one and done toss together sort of salad. Most recently I've had a stockpile of leftover feta in my fridge that needed to be used up, which for me always means it's time for a Greek/Mediterranean style salad!...
