Western Omelette Crustless Quiche

December 28, 2018 Amanda Plott

Now that the holidays are coming to a close for the year, I know that we’ve all got our fair share of leftover turkey and/or ham in our freezers. This is one of my FAVORITE times of year for this VERY reason. And considering there was a little bit of a communication failure over Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner, I’ve ended up with a BUNCH of leftovers.

You don’t see me complaining about that though. I love to make leftover rewind recipes, especially with leftover holiday meats. They always make for a super favorable, easy, and amazing second recipe. So what’s the first thing that comes to mind with leftovers? Casseroles? Soups? For me, it’s quiche!…

Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Monkey Bread

December 18, 2018 Amanda Plott

Alright, alright… so… monkey bread has been an obsession of mine lately. I admit it! I can’t help it. There’s just something about that warm fluffy bread that’s baked together with a bunch of ‘naughty’ bits. Of course, this monkey bread is a bit different. It’s savory instead of sweet. Bacon, egg, and cheese… to be sure!

That’s right. Monkey bread that has bacon, eggs, and cheese baked RIGHT into it! This fun little breakfast bite is perfect for a crowd or a brunch time spread. Mostly because… who doesn’t love bacon and eggs?!…

Eggnog Bread Breakfast Sandwich

December 14, 2018 Amanda Plott

This past week, I got my hands on some delicious ‘tipsy’ cranberry jam that is made here locally. And since I already had some egg nog bread sitting on my counter ready to go, I thought I should find some clever way to put the two together!

While this sandwich isn’t exactly conventional, it takes a page out of that ‘mcgriddle’ play book. Putting the two powerhouses of sweet and savory into each and every bite. The sweet being the egg nog bread and the jam and the savory being the bacon and the egg with cheese…

Skinny Eggnog Bread

It’s been a while since I made some homemade bread. And being that it’s baking season, I thought it was high time to made another loaf! I’ve been without my hand dandy bread machine for a long time, so that means that any bread requiring yeast is pretty much out of the question. Yeast, outside of a bread machine use, scares me!

Don’t worry though! If yeast breads intimidate you too, then this Skinny Eggnog Bread is a perfect yeast-free option that is easy to toss together, and requires no kneading and very little hands-on time…

Skinny Cranberry Upside Down Cake

December 7, 2018 Amanda Plott

The great Christmas and New Year dessert debate is in full swing! It seems like every year my Mother and I get into ‘the great debate’ over what cookies and desserts we’re going to be making for the holidays. She likes this. I like that. And we aren’t the only ones with opinions on desserts either.

I usually try a few new things out as we get closer and more into the thick of the holidays. Some don’t make the cut, but others become fast family favorites. I think the last one that made the official traditional rotation was my Cranberry Cherry Pie. But… I have to say. This Skinny Cranberry Upside Down Cake may be taking the throne…

Skinny Gingerbread Granola

December 3, 2018 Amanda Plott

‘Tis the season. …Gingerbread season, that is!

Gingerbread is the spice of life, especially as we get closer to Christmas and the New Year. I took a leap of faith last week and ordered some vegan almond ‘egg nog’ from one of my favorite almond milk creators. They’re local here to me in Austin Texas, and while I like the flavor of egg nog… raw egg in my drink sorta… freaks me out a little bit.

So with my vegan almond milk in hand, I decided that I needed some granola to go with it. I’ve made a lot of granola lately. Most of them have been keto-friendly, grain-free, gluten-free, and the like. This one though? This one is more of a traditional oat granola. Though, it’s east enough to make it gluten-free!…
