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…

It won’t be long now and it will be football season. I should know, my daughter is a cheerleader this year! I’m always down for gameday food, but I think this year will be that much more special. And nothing says gameday or tailgating quite like buffalo chicken. Let me just say too, these easy Buffalo Chicken Nachos are where it’s at.

I found some gluten free lime multi grain chips at the store, and just knew they would go perfectly well with some sort of buffalo chicken goodness. And here we are! These nachos are a little Tex-Mex mixed with just a touch of an American favorite; buffalo chicken…

Tex-Mex Cheese Zucchini Enchiladas

August 1, 2021 Amanda Plott

I was really wanting some enchiladas this week. and not just any enchiladas. I wanted the traditional Tex-Mex cheese and chili version. I also really wanted to up my vegetable game, so I opted to make these enchiladas NAKED. That’s right, these enchiladas are stripped of their tortillas and instead are made with the use of zucchinis.

The zucchini here is used to hold all that cheesy goodness in while baking in a chili. They re super good and a perfect way to get your enchilada fix while also getting full on pure vegetable goodness. And when I say there’s a lot of veggies going on here, I mean it…

Instant Pot Poached Eggs

It’s been a good long while since I had some eggs for breakfast and if I’m being very honest? I’ve never had a poached egg before in my life. I’ve had them just about every other way there is other than poached. So, this morning I decided to try my hand at it. However it’s summer and I’m lazy. Instant Pot to the rescue!

Oh, how many times the Instant Pot has saved me.

These eggs are cooked up in no time and require NO technical or cooking skills what-so-ever. That’s right. these poached eggs are cooked right in the pressure cooker and you can play around with the timing to get them exactly where you want them as far as yolks go…

Zucchini Cheeseburger Skillet

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!…

Skinny Orange Creamsicle Italian Soda

July 4, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s America’s birthday and while we’ve got some rain in the forecast, I’m bringing on the sunshine with this Skinny Orange Creamsicle Italian Soda! The first time I had a creamsicle Italian soda was waaaay back when I was just a little brat and my dad worked at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. They made creamsicles and they were always one of my absolute favorite treats when visiting.

This Skinny Orange Creamsicle Italian Soda is more on par with my tastes these days though, with a lot less sugar and still all the deliciousness! It’s creamy and dreamy and orangey goodness that is so crazy simple to make…
