Crustless Quiche (Instant Pot)

August 31, 2019 Amanda Plott

So, I’ve had and made my fair share of egg bites in the instant pot, right? That got me to thinking… If I can make egg bites in the instant pot, why can’t I make a quiche in it? Well, as it turns out, you surely can! This quiche is packed with protein and is low in carbs. Plus, it’s keto-friendly and delicious!

This quiche cooks a bit more quickly in the instant pot than it would in the oven. It also comes out with a more ‘fluffy’ texture. Something more akin to an egg bite than a dense quiche…

Game Day Chicken Spread (With Skinny Special Sauce for Dipping!)

August 29, 2019 Amanda Plott

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. The opinions and text are all mine.

It’s that time of year when school is in session, the weather is starting to maybe think about cooling off, and game day is upon us! Game day get togethers that feature spreads are some of my family’s favorites. I think maybe it’s something about the variety of bite-sized finger foods that just make everyone happy. That’s where the inspiration for this Game Day Chicken Spread came from.

This spread is focused around chicken. All sorts of chicken too! And the best part is that it’s easy to put together and is completely versatile with everything from a set up for chicken street tacos, to popable bites, to dunk-friendly nuggets!…

Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

August 26, 2019 Amanda Plott

Who else sneaks bites of raw cookie dough all the while knowing that you shouldn’t do it? I know that I sure do despite my greatest efforts not to. I’ve made raw edible cookie dough in the past, and it was pretty damn delicious. But, I thought I would take it a step further and make a gluten-free version of it!

Yep, that’s right. This edible cookie dough is not only egg-free, vegan, and vegetarian, but it’s also gluten-free AND dairy-free. Covering all the major bases here while also getting to indulge in some cookie dough. Sounds like a win-win situation, right?…

Blueberry Pancake Bites (Instant Pot)

August 18, 2019 Amanda Plott

Weekends are for baking and cooking… well, sort of. Except for the fact that I’m pretty much still refusing to use my stove or oven unless I absolutely have to. It’s just too damn hot here right now! That being said, I was in the mood for some blueberry pancakes this morning.

What’s a girl to do?

Instant pot (or any electric pressure cooker) to the rescue! These Blueberry Pancake Bites are whipped up quickly and cook right in the instant pot in all of 10 minutes. The end result is a magical cross between a pancake and a muffin that is as delicious as it is portable…

Cobb Skewers

August 5, 2019 Amanda Plott

Well, all of us girls made it through camping and toobing this weekend. Three of us managed to put an 8 person tent up in all of 15 minutes. I guess the 100 degree heat and blazing Texas sun is one of the best motivators there is. Even being home and in the air conditioned house… I’m still craving cold foods.

These cute little Cobb Skewers have been my cure-all today. They’re cold, crisp, and a great way to enjoy a cobb salad as an appetizer or snack. They’re easy to put together and look pretty impressive. It’s a more ‘fancy-pants’ way to serve a salad as an appetizer anyway…

Campwiches (Camping-Friendly Sandwiches)

August 1, 2019 Amanda Plott

I’m going camping this weekend with a group of 5 of my lady cousins and my mother. Shenanigans are afoot. It was only natural that I sort of assumed the roll of being in charge of the snacks and food. And while I’m not generally big on the idea of camping, I have done it a handful of times in my life and I’m more than happy to do it again with these girls.

Plus, there will be plenty of family time and wine around.

Since a few of us are going to start the campout a day early, I decided that I should probably pack something light for lunch on the day we’re arriving. These ‘campwiches’ are the perfect way to pack sandwiches for any picnic or camp out…
