Club Sandwich

September 21, 2021 Amanda Plott

Who can say no to a traditional club sandwich? This Club Sandwich is made just a little better-for-you with a few simple swaps that keep it perfectly classic and yet guilt free! As with any club sandwich, this one starts out with sliced deli ham and turkey, and then paired with bacon, cheese, tomato and some lettuce. All on some toasted bred with a smear of light mayo.

It’s good stuff and goes well with a light salad, a cup of soup, or even some salt and vinegar kettle chips like I had. It was simple, classic, and so so good! Of course, I wouldn’t say no to some pickles on the side too…

Mini Air-Fryer Breakfast Tacos

September 15, 2021 Amanda Plott

My week is a little chaotic. Okay, more than a little. But that doesn’t mean that I’m skipping out on breakfast. After waking up at 5 AM, taking my little to cheer practice, walking for an hour, then feeding 30+ cheerleaders their breakfast, that’s when it’s time for my breakfast. And since I’ve been in a savory breakfast kind of mood, I thought some breakfast tacos sounded perfect.

These Mini Air-Fryer Breakfast Tacos are where it’s at. They’re crispy, and cheesy, and delicious. Of course I’m always looking for an excuse to use these mini street taco tortillas too. I left these tacos about as simple as they could be with all the fan favorites of bacon, egg, cheese, and some pico…

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pie Spice Waffles

September 3, 2021 Amanda Plott

I'm so ready to get below 90 degrees F. for the first time this season. It's time for the end of summer now as as I’m concerned. One of my favorite things about fall has to be pumpkin. Pumpkin this, pumpkin that, pumpkin everything!

Today I'm hoping to entice the start of fall with these lovely whole wheat pumpkin pie spice waffles, and man... they are truly something worth waking up for. They are full of pumpkin flavor and the added warm spices that go along with a traditional pumpkin pie. These aren't your average waffles either, they are huge, fluffy, soft on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside; pumpkin perfection…

Blackberry Oat Bars

How many times now have I said that weekends are for baking? Many, many times! These Blackberry Oat Bars are little bites of oatmeal base with fresh blackberries peppered in for a little bit of tart among the sweetness of the bar. And I’ve got to say too, these are super easy to make.

The oatmeal base for these bars is made all in own bowl, and the blackberries are sandwiched in the middle to bake into perfect little bars that you can enjoy for breakfast, brunch, or even as a snack!…

Savory Spinach & Cheese Waffles

August 25, 2021 Amanda Plott

Who said waffles have to be sweet all the time? Not me! Ever since I got my new waffle maker a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been a waffle making fiend. Waffles today were savory, but more on the end of breakfast or brunch than my cornbread waffles from last week.

These Savory Spinach & Cheese Waffles are exactly that. Standard protein waffle mix with spinach and cheese added in. They’re super tasty and go great with an instant pot poached egg and a drizzle of sriracha on top…

Biscuit & Gravy Pot Pie

August 16, 2021 Amanda Plott

Sometimes you just need a good comforting breakfast. And this Biscuit & Gravy Pot Pie is about as ‘comfort food’ as you can get. With a homemade turkey sausage gravy and biscuit topping, you just can’t go wrong! It’s perfect as a weekend breakfast or brunch. But, it also makes for a pretty good breakfast through the week since it reheats pretty well.

It’s lightened up just a bit by using a turkey breakfast sausage and also unsweetened almond milk in place of other milks. Though, you can really use any sort of milk that tickles your fancy. I just like this almond milk because it gives me more bang for my buck calorie wise…
