Western Omelette Crustless Quiche

December 28, 2018 Amanda Plott

Now that the holidays are coming to a close for the year, I know that we’ve all got our fair share of leftover turkey and/or ham in our freezers. This is one of my FAVORITE times of year for this VERY reason. And considering there was a little bit of a communication failure over Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner, I’ve ended up with a BUNCH of leftovers.

You don’t see me complaining about that though. I love to make leftover rewind recipes, especially with leftover holiday meats. They always make for a super favorable, easy, and amazing second recipe. So what’s the first thing that comes to mind with leftovers? Casseroles? Soups? For me, it’s quiche!…

Savory Holiday Monkey Bread

December 10, 2018 Amanda Plott

I love monkey bread. I love that it’s a quick, easy, and delicious way to pack a lot more flavor into any traditional biscuit dough. Usually monkey bread is sweet and is made as more of a breakfast or even as a dessert. Such as my cherry pie version, or my pumpkin spice one! But, not much can beat the strawberries and cream monkey bread.

Today though, I was craving tomato soup and some crunchy bread. It’s chilly out and that traditional meal sounded very comforting. But then! I thought better of myself. Why make a boring plain old grilled cheese when I could make something drinkable, dipable, and fun instead?!…

I’ve been in Egg Bite mode for a while now. Can you tell?

Breakfast is honestly my favorite meal of the day, and it probably always has been. That’s because it’s really the only meal of the day that you can experiment with eating sweet or savory. And just like with eating sweet and savory, I also like to experiment with eating less meat and more vegetarian options!

It’s not secret that we eat at least half of our meals in my house as vegetarian. YES, that includes all meals too. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner alike. I know that Vegetarian Chorizo Egg Bites might sound like an oxymoron here, but I promise you these egg bites are delicious and full of chorizo flavor…

Baked Spaghetti Squash & Cheese

November 13, 2018 Amanda Plott

It’s time to get cheesy! Cheese is, and always has been, my achilles’ heal. If there was one food that I could never manage to give up for just about any reason, it would be cheese. I even have a collection of recipes that is strictly devoted to cheesy eats and treats. Yep. My love for cheese goes far.

I’ve made healthier versions of actual ‘macaroni’ and cheese before, but I wanted to try something a little different since I had a giant spaghetti squash on hand that needed to be used up! This Baked Spaghetti Squash & Cheese is legit. Just because there’s no noodles in there, doesn’t mean it doesn’t fit the bill…

Mediterranean Snack Box

November 9, 2018 Amanda Plott

I am completely under the weather today. I’m still not completely sure if it’s the weather, allergies, or if I just flat out have a cold. Nothing much is going to keep me from doing my thing though, so on with the show! Whilst my throat, face, and most of my body hurts… I’ve opted to keep the meals this week simple.

This Mediterranean Snack Box isn’t really a recipe, but more so a meal prep option for lunch! Plus, I have a few hummus recipes that would go perfectly in this box. The 5 Ingredient Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is one of my favorites. But that Roasted Beat Hummus has got to be the most pretty!…

Rustica Salad

October 30, 2018 Amanda Plott

Well, I guess I spoke too soon about the weather cooling off. It’s been cooler, yes… but we’ve still gotten well up into the 80’s for a couple of days this week. It’s been nice for the most part, crips mornings, warm days, and cool evenings to follow. And while I’m completely set on Fall and Winter meals now, I still needed to toss in a light salad into the mix this week.

I’m calling this the ‘rustica salad’ because that’s the name of the salad that I got the idea for this one from. Of course, I had to put my own spin on it with a homemade dressing and plenty of toppings. The homemade Skinny Balsamic Vinaigrette is one of my favorites. I make a double or triple batch of it up at a time and keep it on hand in the fridge quite often…
