Pumpkin & Sausage Queso

September 12, 2021 Amanda Plott

Not all queso is created equal. Although, I don’t think that I could ever turn a queso away. This Pumpkin & Sausage Queso is PERFECT for Fall. It’s loaded with a little bit of pumpkin flavor and a lot of warm spices and a real kick-in-the pants! Naturally, while it’s hatch chile season in Texas, I served mine with some green chile hatch tortilla chips and YUM.

This queso is a bit more on the extra spicy side, what with the added chipotle, spicy sausage, and of course peppers as far as the eye can see…

Chili Cheese Tater Tot Casserole

September 9, 2021 Amanda Plott

Dinner is served! With my daughter being in cheerleading this year, there’s at least one day a week where we are rushing out the door between picking up from school, changing, and getting back up to the school. Oh, and somewhere in between that is dinner. That’s where this Chili Cheese Tater Tot Casserole comes into play.

This delicious casserole is not only quick to make, it’s also easy and only requires four ingredients. One of the best parts is that you can make it ahead of time and reheat later OR put the casserole together and store it in the fridge until ready for the final bake to enjoy. Either way, it’s super convenient!…

Honey Mustard Pretzel Chicken Tenders

August 31, 2021 Amanda Plott

I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight! I think that’s how the song goes anyway. These Honey Mustard Pretzel Chicken Tenders are a fun and interesting way to serve up what could otherwise be a boring chicken dinner. By crusting these chicken tenders in some honey mustard sauce and then coating them in crushed pretzels, they come out perfectly crisp and tasty.

The homemade honey mustard sauce here is the key here and when paired with the pretzel crust on these chicken tenders, it’s even better. You can use any hard pretzels for these that you want for these. Yes, even the flavored ones!…

Baked Truffle Potato Wedges

August 22, 2021 Amanda Plott

I don’t know anyone that doesn’t like potato wedges, and I don’t know about you, but when I have a steak I want a potato to go with it. But, being as I wore myself out on baked potatoes, I decided to make some potato wedges with my steak this time. Not just any potato wedges, but ones that were coated in crispy parmesan and some truffle salt!

Truffle is definitely one of those flavors that you either love or you hate. I’m one of the people that loves it. Truffle oil can go a little too far for me, but I find that truffle salt can be used with a lot more success. I like to add it to ketchup when having the condiment with something a little more high brow. What? Don’t fancy fries deserve fancy ketchup…

BBQ Chicken Dip

August 7, 2021 Amanda Plott

Like I said, I’m busting out the game day recipes as we roll into football season this year. We’ve got to make up for missing out on game day spreads for a year now! And this BBQ Chicken Dip is sure to be a real crowd pleaser. Shredded chicken, bbq sauce, and cheese make up this delicious and easy to make dip. Really, it doesn’t get more easy to make than this dip right here.

One of my favorite parts about this dip though is that it will vary and change entirely depending on what kind of BBQ sauce you use in it. Like something spicy? Use a spicy sauce? Maybe you’re a sweet heat fan? Give that one a try! The point is, you get to make it your own with your favorite…

Zucchini Cheeseburger Skillet

July 20, 2021 Amanda Plott

Craving for something easy and cheesy? Look no further! This Zucchini Cheeseburger Skillet is easy to make, all in one skillet, and has all the cheesy goodness of a cheeseburger without any of the guilt. I based it off the same idea as my Zucchini Taco Skillet, but used cheeseburger components instead of taco. The end result was this burger in a bowl.

I made sure to load this skillet up with plenty of veggies, zucchini, onion, lettuce, and even some fresh tomato! Like I said, this has everything you love about a cheeseburger, even pickles! It starts out with meat and onion, then there’s tomatoes and seasonings, and it’s all followed up with zucchini and condiments!…
