Crock Pot Irish Oatmeal

February 24, 2026 Amanda Plott

I love steel-cut oats. If you have never tried them, you are seriously missing out.

What are steel-cut (Irish) oats? Steel-Cut Oats are minimally processed high protein oats that are cut into neat little pieces on a steel mill. They are one of the healthiest foods you can eat and the texture is just out-of-this-world.

If you've ever wished your mornings came with a built-in hug, Crock Pot Irish Oatmeal is your new best friend. This slow-cooked porridge is the kind of breakfast that smells like comfort, tastes like nostalgia, and keeps you full for hours — without weighing you down. Bonus: it’s effortless. Toss everything in the crock pot before bed, ignore the beeps, and wake up to a pot of breakfast magic…

If you’ve ever craved something silky, comforting, and ridiculously easy, Chinese steamed eggs deserve a permanent spot in your weeknight lineup. Think of them as a savory custard—velvety, subtle, and endlessly adaptable. They’re common in Chinese homes because they’re quick, nourishing, and forgiving. I like to call them the culinary equivalent of a warm hug that also happens to be low-cal and protein-packed…

Think creamy cheesecake vibes, bright-tart cherries, and a fudgy chocolate kiss — all layered over a crispy, wholesome rice cake base.

Skinny 'Starbucks' Protein Bistro Box

January 2, 2026 Amanda Plott

What can I say? I used to be a Starbucks fanatic.

I once had a serious relationship with the Skinny Cinnamon Dulce Latte for nearly as long as I can remember. It's a lot more rare that I actually get anything to eat from there, and when I do... I always try to stick to things that are not in that lovely 'baked goods' display case perched so blissfully next to the cashier.

No, no. I dive downward into the cooler section and avoid eye contact with those pastries as if they were Medusa herself.
