Baked Pepperoni Pizza Chicken

May 16, 2019 Amanda Plott

If you’re looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, then look no further! This Baked Pepperoni Pizza Chicken can be prepared ahead of time up until the point of baking, and then tossed in the over just ahead of dinner time. No fuss, no muss. Just easy cheesy chicken!

Keeping things simple and lower in carbs, doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy it. This chicken, while made with just 4 simple ingredients, is full of pizza flavor and is deeeelicious, if I do say so myself. I love pizza. And I love baked chicken. Put the two together? Pizza chicken!…

3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cups

May 13, 2019 Amanda Plott

Who knew that making your own homemade peanut butter cups could be so easy?!

Well, I did! I’ve made a few different versions in the past, but none of them were the classic peanut butter and chocolate. Being as I’m still sticking with that whole ‘keep it simple stupid’ mantra right now, I thought it was high time to make my own traditional peanut butter cups.

So what makes these special? Well, they’re made with just 3 ingredients. Yep! JUST three ingredients. All of which I have on hand at all times in my pantry, and you probably do too…

Chunky Monkey Amish Oatmeal

May 10, 2019 Amanda Plott

After banana nut on my mind, and a pantry full of leftover oatmeal, I pretty much knew immediately what I was going to be making this week for breakfast. Some sort of… banana nut oatmeal. But! Not just any banana nut oatmeal. I wanted it to be chunky monkey style. What’s chunky monkey? Well, one of my most favorite flavors of ice cream that’s made with bananas, chocolate chunks, and walnuts.

There you have it, chunky monkey oatmeal. Of course, one of my favorite ways to make oatmeal is for it to be baked and ‘Amish’ style. This breakfast oatmeal also happens to be gluten-free (so long as you mind your brand of oats.)…

Skinny Classic Meatloaf

May 8, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s been a hell of a long time since I made a meatloaf. I mean… a really really really long time. Almost 5-6 years or something? I’m not really sure why either. It’s a quick and easy part of dinner that can be tossed together in no time at all. Plus, it can be made to be pretty damn healthy too!

So, after discussing meatloaf with a group of friends last week, I decided that it was high time for me to make another meatloaf. This time though? We’re going old-school and classic with this loaf of meat…

Kid-Friendly Spring Snack Mix

May 1, 2019 Amanda Plott

Spring is in the air. And do you know how I can tell? Allergies! I don’t know about the rest of the planet, but right here, right now, it’s allergy chaos. Never mind that Austin has been engulfed with what is now going on three WAVES of the flu. Just a couple of weeks ago, my daughter’s whole third grade class was pretty thin. Some out for allergies. Others out with a virus. Thank goodness the little babes are in a little bit better spirits this week.

Every year they have a fun book party to celebrate reading a certain amount of ‘crown books’. This year the request from the librarian was for Spring themed eats and treats. So, I was put to the task of whipping up a delicious Spring snack mix after a few of the parents got a peak of my Camp Out Trail Mix from a while back…

Banana Nut Granola

April 19, 2019 Amanda Plott

Banana nut bread has to be one of my most favorite things in the world to eat for breakfast. I honestly don’t make it enough, and haven’t made it in a good long while. So, needless to say, I’ve been craving it lately. I thought this time around though, that I would put a little twist on it and turn it into a granola instead!

Cereal has been the name of the breakfast game in my house for a good solid week now. We’re busy eating up a few boxes that were used in that Camp Out Trail Mix last week. Waste not, want not. Right? As we got to the end of the boxes, I knew it was time to make this Banana Nut Granola…
