Egg Roll Soup

November 19, 2018 Amanda Plott

If you like egg rolls, and you like soup, then this is the soup for you! Remember a while back when I made that Egg Roll Bowl? Well, this is sort of a winter-ized take on that. It’s an egg roll that’s been turned into a soup!

Yes, all the flavors and components of a good egg roll are here in this soup; including onions, cabbage, carrots, and meat. Even though I made my last egg roll recipe with chicken, I decided to go with turkey this time around. This was for no other reason than texture. It’s low-carb, gluten-free, and ridiculously easy to make all in one pot…

Chicken Faux Pho (Instant Pot)

July 31, 2018 Amanda Plott

For a good long while now I've heard nothing but good things about pho. And to be honest, I've never given it a try. My brother swears by it and about the time that my hair stylist said the same thing, I knew it was going to have to happen. So, when I was planning out my meals for the week, I decided that I was going to dive head first in and make a quick and easy version of pho.

...And let me just tell you... it's pho-king delicious.

This pho isn't what I would call traditional. It hasn't spent all day cooking down in it's broth, and the ingredients are pretty minimal. The most of what's going on here is spices and fresh veggies - which I am anything but mad at…

Skinny Cream Cheese Rangoon Dip & Wonton Chips

July 20, 2018 Amanda Plott

I keep saying that I'm swearing off my stove and oven right now, and then the very next day I'm firing one, or both of them, up again cook some yummies. And so far lately, all the yummies have been worth heating the house up over. And this Skinny Cream Cheese Rangoon Dip with Wonton Chips inso different. I may even do the very same thing again tonight!

So first thing first. I love cream cheese rangoons. I've made them a few times, and... I could probably eat my weight in them with no questions asked. That being said, I'm all about putting a twist on the things I love. I guess that's why I decided to turn cream cheese rangoons into a dip!…

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 Chicken Egg Roll Bowl (Keto-Friendly)

February 25, 2018 Amanda Plott

Alright, so I've been playing around with this recipe for a few months now. I keep telling myself every time I make it, that I'm going to take the pictures and post it up here. But, for one reason or another, it just hasn't worked out until now!

One of the problems has honestly been that this egg roll bowl is just so good that it's hard to not be scarfing on it long before you ever even make it to the table. It literally tastes like the filling of an egg roll, and we all know that's the best part of the egg roll...

Keto Low-Carb Chicken Egg Foo Young

December 16, 2017 Amanda Plott

So... my power went out for over an hour this morning and I was really starting to go into panic mode. My chicken for this Egg Foo Young was sitting... par cooked in my pressure cooker for the whole time. Thankfully, it still turned out. I guess the pressure inside the pot kept it at a safe temperature until the power came back on and I could restart the cooking process.

Even with the flub-up with the power, these Egg Foo Young egg cakes turned out amazing. It's hard to say when or where the first time was that I had Egg Foo Young. All I know is that it's yummy delicious heavenly goodness in the form of an Asian flavor powerbomb of eggy and vegetable bliss...
