Inside-Out Truffalo Breakfast Burrito

January 19, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s going to be a busy day as I prepare for the possible in climate weather that is supposed to be sliding in this evening. So, I went out on my walk and then came in and made myself this Inside-Out Truffalo Breakfast Burrito. I’ve made an inside-out burrito before, but it wasn’t quite like this. What’s truffalo? It’s a delightful mix of truffle and spicy buffalo flavors!

The first time I heard about truffalo was at a chicken wing joint and after that I set out on a mission to find a sauce that was similar - tada! I found it. It’s pretty good too. I took this breakfast burrito a step further though and included a spicy buffalo seasoning AND truffle salt…

Ham & Cheese Omelette

I don’t know about you, but we had ham as part of our Christmas dinner and I managed to keep some on reserve for leftover breakfast this morning. This Ham & Cheese Omelette is one of my favorite ways to use up leftover ham. I based this omelette off of a few others that I’ve made in the past that packs an omelette up with as much protein as possible.

I like to sub in egg whites for part of the egg in any omelette. But, I try to keep at least one yolk in there for some color and flavor. Other than that, I love to put cottage cheese in my omelettes because it gives a bit of a boost to the protein and also bonus melty cheese goodness…

Caramel Popcorn (Instant Pot)

Sometimes, a girl just needs some caramel corn.

Way back in the day there was this amazing microwavable caramel corn that was my most favorite movie night treat in all the world. And… then it disappeared off store shelves to never be seen again. What’s a girl to do? Well, apparently it’s not enjoy warm gooey caramel popcorn for years and years until they stumble across the notion that they can just make it themself.

This caramel corn takes it a step further. It’s able to be homemade with all your own ingredients and with little time and effort. And let me just tell you, this stuff is delicious!…

Breakfast Twice Baked Potato

Who says you can’t have a baked potato for breakfast? This potato is baked twice over and loaded with the breakfast favorites of bacon, egg, and cheese! They’re great for mornings when you want a nice hearty and filling breakfast, but don’t have a lot of time on your hands since these can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you’re ready for the second and final bake.

It’s super easy to double up the recipe to have enough to feed a crowd with minimal effort or hands on time when it comes to cooking…

Pantry Pottage (Crock Pot & Instant Pot)

December 7, 2021 Amanda Plott

This Pantry Pottage became a traditional Thanksgiving Eve dinner many many years ago in my family. I think the original recipe was one that my mom had gotten off the local news station when I was still in high school. The idea behind the dish was to use up all the canned beans and vegatables from your pantry and toss them into a crock pot to cook up some fabulous and easy dish that would serve up a house of visitors.

Several years ago now, the original printed recipe that my mom had ended up disappearing among a chaotic move. I've since scowered the web to find it, though to no avail. I did, however, manage to find a similar version that I've tweaked to be closer to what my mom and I remember…
