Skinny Cherry Pie Bars

April 4, 2022 Amanda Plott

I'm sorry... and, you're welcome.​​

These cherry pie bars are easy as pie (insert chuckle here) and just flat out amazing! With less than 140 calories in a nicely sized square... how can you deny yourself such bliss?

I really can't wait to try out another flavor or maybe even use some fresh fruit for the filling.

Lemon Bar Cookie Cups

April 1, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s Spring and that means its time for lemon bars and all things bright and light! These sweet little Lemon Bar Cookie Cups are the perfect individual lemon treat. They start out with a homemade cookie cup from scratch that’s somewhere between a sugar cookie and a short bread cookie. Then the sweet cups are filled with a homemade lemon curd that is super easy to make - and nearly fool proof too!

Now, I’ve made thumbprint lemon cookies before, but these cups take it a step further and give you a lot more cookie and lemon goodness, but the thumbprint version have their place too. Honestly these Lemon Bar Cookie Cups remind me of lemon pies too…

Instant Pot Lazy Lasagna

March 29, 2022 Amanda Plott

I don’t know about you, but we have just two months left until Summer break and I am digging deep to try and muster the energy to get us there. As we’re getting ready for Summer, I’m doing everything I can to make life a bit more easy and low maintenance. This Instant Pot Lazy Lasagna fits the bill for exactly what it says it is: lasagna on the lazy.

So if you’re feeling a hankering for lasagna, but don’t want to fuss with the layers and pots and pans that go along with it, this Instant Pot version is where it’s at! Plus, as usual, I made it just a little bit more healthified along the way too!…

Cowboy Casserole

March 23, 2022 Amanda Plott

What can I say? I love casseroles. I love them any time of day. Recently I had a chicken pot pie, but this time I decided to go with something vegetarian! Yeah, I know. I looks like there’s meat in there, but really there isn’t! I used some vegetarian ground ‘meat’ in this Cowboy Casserole that takes no time at all to come together. There’s veggies, cheese, soup, ground ‘meat’ and then tater tots on top to round it out and keep it light but still hearty and filling.

When I saw the original idea for this Cowboy Casserole, I just knew that I wanted to lighten it up and put a little bit more of a healthified take on it. The first thing I did was to swap out the meat. I also halved the recipe and used a reduced fat version of not only the mushroom soup, but also for the shredded cheese too! As usual, I swap out sour cream with greek yogurt anytime that I can get away with it…

Very Cherry Pie

March 20, 2022 Amanda Plott

You know, I haven’t actually ever made pie dough for a pie before. I’ve made something akin to pie dough for other eats and treats before, but I’ve never made pie dough for a pie before. I saw an idea for a strawberry infused pie dough a long while back now, and it’s sort of stuck with me. So when I decided to try my hand at a homemade cherry pie filling, I thought what the hell! I may as well make the pie dough myself and try to infuse it with some cherry goodness too!

So here we have it! THis Very Cherry Pie! It’s got cherries all the way through the filling and into the pie crust. And can I just say, this pie is actually pretty easy to make! You would think making the crust and the filling would be complicated, but it’s honestly not much more work than pre-made dough and canned filling…

Hash Brown Sheet Pan Breakfast

March 17, 2022 Amanda Plott

Breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day, so I’m always looking for inspiration and trying new things. I saw this idea for a sheet pan breakfast and just knew I was going to have to healthify it and give it a try! Boy, am I glad that I did. This Hash Brown Sheet Pan Breakfast is a super easy and delicious way to start the day.

The hash browns crisp up perfectly with the addition of the cheese on top. And then the bacon. …Did I mention the eggs? I would have liked my own yolks to have come out just a little more runny, but all in all I was super happy with the end result of this sheet pan breakfast!…
