Vegetarian Sushi

July 10, 2020 Amanda Plott

So… I don’t like sea food. That is why you will never see any sea food recipes around here. No, I’m not allergic to it, I just don’t like it. It’s not a taste thing or a texture thing. It is flat out just that I don’t like sea food. BUT. I do like sushi. I love vegetarian sushi.

Sushi can be a little pricy. Especially consider what it is. Seaweed, rice, and an assortment of veggies, meats, and sauces. Seems simple enough, right? While there is a certain art to making sushi traditionally, I’m a modern girl and a simple girl. So, let's make some damn sushi…

Skinny Baked Garlic Parmesan Boneless Chicken Wings

June 30, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’ve got to say… I’ve been holding off on making chicken wings for a lot of reasons. Mostly because I don’t like to eat meat off the bone, and also it can be pretty tricky to make wings in a better-for-you way. That’s probably because most wings are deep fried and the closest thing I have to that is an air-fryer which isn’t quite the same.

I came across a little trick though that helps baked chicken get nice and crispy brown on the outside and yet still juicy on the inside. So, these aren’t ‘battered’ boneless wings but they are still crisp and loaded with intense garlic and parmesan flavor!…

Italian Chicken Tenders

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…

Greek Pork Kabobs

These Greek Pork Kabobs are easy-peasy lemon squeezy! Whip up a delicious Greek inspired marinade with a handful of spices, olive oil, and lemon. Skewer and grill. These kabobs can be made well ahead of time and kept in the fridge up until you’re ready to grill and enjoy, making them great for a weeknight meal prep!

There really isn’t any way to keep these kabobs light because they’re naturally lean. I went with a pork tenderloin, but chicken would be a great choice of protein here as well…

Taco Pie (Crustless Quiche)

May 22, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’m not unfamiliar with a crustless quiche. Quiche is one of my most favorite breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner meals! I guess that’s one reason why I love quiche; It’s a meal appropriate at any time of day. Another thing I like about it? It’s a great way to use up leftovers!

This Taco Pie is made with just 7 ingredients and a few minutes of hands on time. The oven does most of the work for you. It’s keto friendly, low carb, and gluten free too. Plus, it’s another excuse to enjoy a taco. How can you say no to that?…

For a lot of us, Summer has come (or will come) early this year. Especially if you have kiddos! While Summer is officially a couple of months off still, I thought I’d get things heading in that direction. I mean… it’s already in the high 80’s here on most days. It’s been perfect weather for grilling!

With it being warm out, I wanted to make use of the grill, but also have something nice, cool, and refreshing on the plate. That’s where this Tex-Mex Pico De Gallo Grilled Chicken comes into play. I got my hands on some Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce and knew it would make the perfect marinated for chicken…
