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…

Skinny Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

August 12, 2020 Amanda Plott

So the other day I ordered pizza. Yes, delivery. What? You think I eat healthy all the time? Nope! Fun Fact: I whole heartedly believe that part of eating right and healthy means that sometimes you should afford yourself splurges. Give into a craving every once in a while. …Anyway. I also grabbed a ‘cookie pizza’ and my kid sort of fell in love with it.

Today I decided to have her help me make one! Of course, the one we made is better for you already simply because it’s homemade and from scratch. Plus, the sugar is reduced and we have complete control over what’s going into it. And hey, any excuse to get her in the kitchen with me is a good one…

Bacon & Egg Toaster Strudel

August 10, 2020 Amanda Plott

It wasn’t too long ago that I made my take on a traditional toaster strudel. You know, the sweet version with fruit filling and icing on top. This time around, I thought I would take the savory route! Bacon, egg, and cheese is the name of the game today.

These Bacon & Egg Toaster Strudel are crazy easy to make and leaves you with 6 whole servings. It helps too that they’re perfectly delicious and can be made ahead of time. Or, you know, jus enjoy them right away - warm and fresh out of the oven…

PBJ Brownies

I don’t know why, but I always go into peanut butter and jelly mode as the summer winds down and back-to-school starts to nip at our heels. What can I say? But, I’m sorry and you’re welcome. These PBJ Brownies are every bit as good as they look. They are the gooiest, most decadent, delicious brownies that I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating.

One of my favorite things about these brownies (other than how good they are) is that they are made all in one bowl. Which means they’re fairly easy to make and don’t require a lot of effort for being as amazing as they are…

Instant Pot Cold Start Vanilla Greek Yogurt

I never in a million years would have guessed that I would ever make yogurt. I don’t know why, but I just never really considered that I even could make it. Mostly because I honestly didn’t know the process of how to make yogurt. And… then I got a pressure cooker.

As it turns out, making yogurt is really easy to do. And what’s better? You can make it just the way you want, in any flavor you want, and as tangy as you want. Plus, making it yourself saves you calories AND money! So, as scary as the concept may seem, it’s definitely worth trying out!…

Peach Bundt Cake

July 24, 2020 Amanda Plott

One of my favorite things about summer is peaches. I don’t know about anywhere else, but here in Texas locals come out in droves selling them at the side of the road. This year, I haven’t gone anywhere to see any. But, my local grocery store thankfully has ‘Texas Peaches’ on hand from local vendors so that I was more easily and safely able to get my peach fix this year.

This cake is truly one of the most moist and deliciously each cakes out there. The peach juices and fresh peach really take this simple and easy to make cake to the next level. It would be just as good as part of a breakfast or brunch, as it would be for dessert!…
