Low-Carb Keto 'Inside-Out' Breakfast Burrito

April 27, 2018 Amanda Plott

I'm trying to get myself back on the exercise bandwagon starting today. (And I'm pretty sure I nearly overdid it already!) Summer is on the way and I'd like to both look and feel my best during swimsuit season. So, to start my morning off right, I decided to make myself this little diddy right here.

This Low-Carb Keto 'Inside-Out' Breakfast Burrito is exactly what it sounds like. A breakfast burrito that uses the eggs as the wrap and is then loaded up with some of the usual suspects; bacon, cheese, pico, and even some turkey! Hence, inside-out burrito…

Shakshuka (Eggs in Purgatory)

April 25, 2018 Amanda Plott

I've heard a lot over the past year or two about 'Eggs in Purgatory' or 'Shakshuka'. In fact, I've had several variations of Shashuka recipe ideas saved for a good long while now. I think I finally decided it was time to take a swing at it when I saw it featured once again on one of my favorite foodie shows - Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain.

There was something magical about watching Nigella Lawson making Eggs in Purgatory for Anthony Bourdain, and not just because I'm in love with both of them. But, more so because it just looked !@#$ing amazing. What can I say? I'm a Texas girl who loves spice and eggs…

Blueberry Lemon Baked Oatmeal

April 15, 2018 Amanda Plott

Mornings are rough. Even on the weekends, I find it hard to get myself together early enough to make real honest to goodness breakfast and have it on the table. I think it would technically be brunch by the time I get anything worthy together. But, it doesn't have to be that way. I have found that make-ahead breakfasts are where it's at.

This Blueberry Lemon Baked Oatmeal is a delicious and easy to make breakfast that can be made ahead of time and then quickly reheated for a tasty bite on even the most difficult of mornings!...

Sun-Dried Tomato & Spinach Egg White Bites

April 9, 2018 Amanda Plott

After a long long long and super fun birthday weekend for my daughter, I'm honest in saying that we all are still pretty exhausted today. Before we took off though, I had my fridge well prepared for our return; full well knowing the chaos and tired state of mind that we would be returning to. And with 'sous vide' egg bites still being on trend and easy to make, I thought what better breakfast to have ready!

The last 'sous vide' egg bites that I made were standard and very traditional in a bacon and cheddar flavor, so today I decided to kick it up a notch. These were made with only the egg whites, cheese (of course), sun-dried tomatoes and fresh baby spinach. What goes better with any of those things other than a good helping of feta cheese?...

Skinny Carrot Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling

March 30, 2018 Amanda Plott

Just in time for Easter! This morning I woke up with a Spring in my step (pun intended) and just had to make this Skinny Carrot Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling. I based the recipe loosely on the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll that I make in the fall. But, there's not ever a bad time for a cream cheese roll, in my opinion.

I kept this recipe pretty simple, using a boxed cake mix with a few add-ins to beef it up a bit. I kept it light with my usual swaps ins for a cake mix and even used a handy new powdered sugar replacement in the cream cheese filling.

Low-Carb Biscuits & Gravy (Gluten-Free too!)

March 22, 2018 Amanda Plott

O.M.G. You guy, you guys, you guys... I'll let you just take all of that gorgeousness in right there for a moment.

...

Okay. So. Not only are these biscuits and gravy low-carb and gluten-free, but I have to say that this was some of the best damn biscuits and gravy that I've ever put in my mouth. And those are big words coming from a southern girl.

With everything that's been going on here around Austin lately, I needed some good southern comfort food in a bad way this week. I think all of us here did. And there isn't much more southern or comforting than a good plate of biscuits and gravy...
