Air Fryer Lasagna Fritta

August 15, 2020 Amanda Plott

Pasta is one of my favorite things. So is cheese. So, of course I love myself a good Lasagna Fritta. What’s a Lasagna Fritta, you ask? It’s an Olive Garden appetizer dish that I adore. But, you know… fried stuff. Being as I’ve got a handy dandy air fryer, I thought I’d try my hand at a Lasagna Fritta copy cat dish that’s made a bit more healthy!

This Air Fryer Lasagna Fritta got rave reviews from around the table. I literally got a thumbs up from my brother and was told that I should make it again sometime really soon. I too was surprised with how GREAT this Air Fryer Lasagna Fritta turned out. Air fryers can be one of the most amazing kitchen gadgets to have. For cooking CERTAIN things…

Chicken Parmesan Lasagna

August 5, 2020 Amanda Plott

Almost everyone loves a good lasagna. It’s hard not to. Noodles, sauce, cheese… it’s a heavenly mixture. Today I decided to take it step further and turn a regular lasagna into one that’s chicken based! No, no… not alfredo. Chicken parmesan style!

Chicken parmesan is another Italian-American favorite. Breaded chicken, sauce, and cheese. Who says lasagna has to be sausage? With ground chicken used instead, and the addition of some bread crumbs for crunchy texture, this lasagna is the perfect blend of two classics…

Shisho Pesto

August 3, 2020 Amanda Plott

So, I realized the other day that due to the shape of world right now that I didn’t get to do as much with my backyard herbs as I generally do during the Spring and Summer. Usually I have a yard that’s plentiful with basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano, limes, and grapes! Sometimes there’s some strawberries and tomatoes out there too.

With all the basil I end up making pesto all through the Spring and Summer months. And being as I didn’t have any this year? I haven’t been able to make my homemade pesto. Craving the tasty green stuff, I decided to be a little creative. I got my hands on some Shisho, which is an herb that’s used often in Japanese dishes…

Italian Chicken Tenders

June 25, 2020 Amanda Plott

Who doesn’t like a good baked chicken tender? No one I know. These Italian Chicken Tenders are breaded in Italian seasonings and spices (and even some cheese) before being baked to perfection. They’re simple, delicious, and sure to disappear quickly from any family style dinner.

These tenders turn out low carb and kept friendly while also being another fun kid friendly Italian night dinner option. I made them just a bit better-for-you by using whole wheat bread crumbs that I seasoned myself with various dried Italian herbs and spices…

Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Pesto Wrap

June 5, 2020 Amanda Plott

If you’re looking for some lunch time inspiration, here you go! This Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Pesto Wrap is super quick and easy to make with just a handful in ingredients and a ton of flavor. When I got my hands on the sun-dried tomato tortilla wraps, I thought it would be fun to use them to make a ‘caprese style’ twist on a wrap with them.

So I loaded them up with two different kinds of pesto, chicken, bacon, mozzarella, and baby spinach. That’s pretty much all there is to it! Roll it all up together and you’ve got one of the easiest and most tasty wraps you’ll ever come across.

I served my wraps with baked chips and some fresh veggies, but some fruit, soup, or even a salad would also be nice sides here.

If you’re making this head of time as a meal prep, there isn’t much you need to do any differently. Store in an air-tight container for up to 3-5 days until ready to enjoy.
