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…

Naked California Club 'Sandwich'

April 17, 2018 Amanda Plott

A good long while back I was introduced to the 'Unwich' which is a sandwich... minus the bread and wrapped up in lettuce instead; keeping it a handheld portable sandwich style meal without the most of the carbs or the guilt. That's right, we're stripping the sandwich down to the nitty-gritty and I promise you'll thank me later for it.

One of my all-time favorite sandwiches is and always will be a club sandwich. So, that's my go-to for this naked unwich today. Who needs the bread anyway? I'm getting to keep all my favorite parts; bacon, turkey, cheese, and even avocado!...

Spring Chicken Soup

I may not be a spring chicken anymore, but this soup sure is! Just because it's Springtime, doesn't mean that we have to quit eating soup. Let's face it, sometimes you just want a good meal in a bowl to warm your soul, and that's what this soup is meant for! Even if it is warming up outside.

I'm going to hold onto Spring for as long as I can and go kicking and screaming into the hot blazes of another Texas summer. The, at least, 4 months of the year where my air conditioner is running constantly on full and the air outside is almost so hot that it burns your lungs when you breathe. Ughhh... No, thank you! I'll just sit here and enjoy the Spring weather while I can. Soak ever ounce of it up...

Carrot Cake Granola

Spring is coming.

I don't know about you, but I can see the changes in the season here in Austin Texas already. It's staying daylight out longer and longer in the evenings now and the sky is a brighter shade of blue. The birds are chirping, the grass is turning green, and it's warming up to a perfect 70 degrees on most days.

I know that we will likely have a few more 'winter' days or grey rain, but it's always nice to see the onset of Spring. It's probably my favorite season (when it comes to the weather especially.) That's why I've started this weekend off right with this Spring inspired carrot cake granola!...

Baked Beet Chips

March 1, 2018 Amanda Plott

Last week I had some beets leftover that needed to be used and decided to use them up in one of my favorite ways - as chips! Beets are really the perfect root vegetable to make chips with. They turn out crisp and crunchy while not having a completely overwhelming flavor. In fact, if you closed your eyes and ate one, you might not even know it was a beet at all!

Beets are truly one of my favorite vegetables, mostly because of their beautiful colors and versatility. I really don't think I've ever met a beet that I didn't like, but these chips are quick, easy, and simple; with just 2 ingredients needed...

Low-Carb Bacon & Cheddar Sous Vide Egg Bites (Instant Pot)

February 21, 2018 Amanda Plott

If you haven't been struck by the Sous Vide Egg Bites bug yet, then you don't know what you're missing! My first experience with egg bites was at none other than Starbucks after hearing all the hoopla surrounding them. And let me just say, they did not disappoint. They're soft and fluffy and full of yummy little bits of flavor bomb awesomeness.

Being as they were a little costly though, I thought I could do myself a service and find a way to make them for myself at home; allowing me to change up the flavors and save me a few dollars along the way...
