Roasted Honey & Cinnamon Peaches

June 20, 2014 Amanda Plott

Okay, so... I know I've done the whole... broiled grapefruit thing, which is pretty amazing. But, as I've found out, there are actually a lot of people out there that cannot enjoy grapefruit for one reason or another. Yes, even a few in my own family! Now, I looove peach season. I think that I may have mentioned that once or twice before. So naturally, I've been waiting rather eagerly for the prices of peaches to go down and huzzah! It finally happened this last weekend!

I rather enthusiastically plucked a few gorgeous ones up and immediately began planning. Though... I pretty much knew exactly what I wanted to try. Honey roasted peaches!...

Healthified Patriotic Toast

June 5, 2014 Amanda Plott

The count down to the 4th of July is on and I'm always super excited for this holiday! There's just something to be said about the heat of the summer, (healthified) BBQ, and fireworks. How could you not be excited to celebrate the independence of your nation in such a way?

Happy Birthday 'Merica!

Well, in a month or so anyway...

Now let's honor you with cute toast for breakfast.

Skinny Cherry Cheesecake Parfait

June 3, 2014 Amanda Plott

Parfaits make for a great breakfast or dessert during the summer months. They're easy. They're tasty. And you have virtually endless possibilities with flavor options! Plus, they don't heat up your kitchen. ... Something which is often a deal breaker for me once we start getting into 100+ days.

Can you tell that I'm already dreading July and August? Ugh...

Stuffed Breakfast Peppers

May 29, 2014 Amanda Plott

I've made Baked Egg and Avocado Bowls before, which are amazing, but I am also a fan of stuffed peppers. So, I figured... why not use the same idea and stuff peppers as a healthy low cab breakfast option? Of course!

These peppers are super easy to toss together and taste great. I was a little surprised with how filling and satisfying these were. I'm generally a carbivore in the morning.

Yes. That's right. A carbivore.

You know, similar to a carnivore... but with carbs rather than meat.

Shameful, I know. But... at least I'm honest!...

Skinny Cheesy Green Chile Sausage Gravy

May 27, 2014 Amanda Plott

A few words that you don't normally see in a description together? Skinny, cheesy, and gravy. But, somehow I've managed to pull it off. This gravy is so full of vegetables and lean sausage that you can absolutely afford the cheese that's in there.

Seriously. This stuff is pretty addicting.

The first time that I made this recipe was last week to go along with my 3 Ingredient Biscuits as a test. I've never made a gravy before, much less one that was healthified or skinny at all. So, I was a bit skeptical that I what I had planned would turn out at all...

3 Ingredient Biscuits

May 17, 2014 Amanda Plott

Yes, only 3 ingredients are needed to make these perfectly guilt free biscuits! I can honestly say that I've never made biscuits from scratch before, so I was a little nervous about trying this for the first time. I'm not really sure why I've never made them before. Perhaps I had it in my mind that they were supposed to be daily difficult and taxing. I've made plenty of other breads, rolls, cakes, etc... So why not biscuits?

These were super easy and I was entirely surprised and thrilled with how well they turned out! Especially considering that they only took 3 ingredients and about 10 minutes of preparing. That's it!...
