Skinny Overnight Eggs Benedict Casserole (With Blender Hollandaise)

December 12, 2019 Amanda Plott

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, they say. And I tend to agree. If you start your day off right with a nice breakfast, the rest of the day tends to follow suit. One of my all time favorite breakfast (or brunch) items is eggs benedict. A simple breakfast bite with english muffins, eggs, and hollandaise sauce. However, with the holidays coming up, I tend to gravitate towards casseroles.

So, why not turn a classic breakfast dish into a casserole? This Skinny Overnight Eggs Benedict Casserole is really simple to make and is pretty similar to a strata or a quiche. The only difference really is the use of english muffins and the added hollandaise sauce…

Baked Gingerbread Oatmeal

December 7, 2019 Amanda Plott

Holiday morning breakfasts are always something that I like to plan and make ahead. With the Holidays themselves being stressful enough as it is, I like to be sure that when it comes to breakfast, I’m have little to nothing to worry about. Amish style baked oatmeal has always, and will always, be my go-to staple crowd pleasing made ahead breakfasts.

I took my standard Baked Amish Overnight Oatmeal and turned it into a festive Holiday breakfast that’s full of gingerbread spice and everything nice! This overnight oatmeal has all the warm gingerbread flavors and just a touch of sweetness...

Sausage, Apple & Baby Kale Whole Wheat Strata

November 26, 2019 Amanda Plott

Thanksgiving is in just a few days and when the Holidays are rolling in, I like to be sure that I have breakfast taken care of. Strata is a great way to use up what you have on hand. They’re pretty flexible and can be made ahead of time to have a breakfast (or brunch) ready to go for a whole crowd of people. Mhm, that’s right. This breakfast makes a whopping 12 servings!

This Sausage, Apple & Baby Kale Whole Wheat Strata is a real winner, and if you haven’t had a strata before, you definitely should! It’s sort of a cross between a savory bread pudding and a quiche…

Cranberry-Orange Steel Cut Oatmeal (Instant Pot)

Some mornings just require a simple sort of breakfast. And as the first round of Holiday shenanigans starts next week, I thought there was no time like the present to get a nice, easy to make, healthy and festive breakfast on the menu. This Cranberry-Orange Steel Cut Oatmeal checks all those boxes. It’s made in a matter of minutes and is perfectly delicious!

Cranberry and orange are the perfect pairing, especially when it comes to the winter Holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. That’s why I decided to use those flavors in this oatmeal for a perfect breakfast bite with enough made for the whole family…

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cobbler

Are you getting tired of the same ol’ - same ol’ when it comes to the dessert options around the holidays? Shake things up this year and try out this delicious Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cobbler! If a pumpkin pie and a cobbler had a love child, this cobbler would be it!

This delicious wonder of a dessert makes it’s own gooey pumpkin caramel sauce while a spiced up cake forms on top to make one hell of a Fall inspired cobbler, if I do say so myself. Lightened up and made just a little better-for-you with just a few simple swaps…

Whole Wheat Vegan Biscuits

November 8, 2019 Amanda Plott

Baby it’s cold outside…

And I need some biscuits in my life! Now, I’ve made some simple biscuits in the past, like my 3 ingredient biscuits or even these low carb ones that I paired with gravy. Today though, I wanted to stay simple and have some biscuits on hand for breakfast sandwiches this week. I didn’t want just any old biscuit though, I wanted them to be whole wheat this time around!

I took some of the basics from my 3 ingredient biscuits and made the needed adjustments to turn them into whole wheat biscuits instead. Of course the thing that made the ‘ 3 ingredient’ version was the self-rising flour…
