September 30, 2021 Amanda Plott

Look. I don’t know. I have a problem with queso. It’s just the perfect and most ultimate food in my personal opinion. And this Bacon Queso Baked Pumpkin is Fall perfection. It’s as easy as taking a small pumpkin, hollowing it out, and backing your queso inside it for a fun and festive way to get your queso on.

And… everything in moderation, right? This Bacon Queso Baked Pumpkin is the most amazing way to save queso in the Fall season. It’s visually appealing, and I mean… how do you even go wrong with queso anyway? If it’s wrong, I don’t want to be right…

Mini Air-Fryer Breakfast Tacos

September 15, 2021 Amanda Plott

My week is a little chaotic. Okay, more than a little. But that doesn’t mean that I’m skipping out on breakfast. After waking up at 5 AM, taking my little to cheer practice, walking for an hour, then feeding 30+ cheerleaders their breakfast, that’s when it’s time for my breakfast. And since I’ve been in a savory breakfast kind of mood, I thought some breakfast tacos sounded perfect.

These Mini Air-Fryer Breakfast Tacos are where it’s at. They’re crispy, and cheesy, and delicious. Of course I’m always looking for an excuse to use these mini street taco tortillas too. I left these tacos about as simple as they could be with all the fan favorites of bacon, egg, cheese, and some pico…

Pumpkin & Sausage Queso

Not all queso is created equal. Although, I don’t think that I could ever turn a queso away. This Pumpkin & Sausage Queso is PERFECT for Fall. It’s loaded with a little bit of pumpkin flavor and a lot of warm spices and a real kick-in-the pants! Naturally, while it’s hatch chile season in Texas, I served mine with some green chile hatch tortilla chips and YUM.

This queso is a bit more on the extra spicy side, what with the added chipotle, spicy sausage, and of course peppers as far as the eye can see…

I was really wanting some enchiladas this week. and not just any enchiladas. I wanted the traditional Tex-Mex cheese and chili version. I also really wanted to up my vegetable game, so I opted to make these enchiladas NAKED. That’s right, these enchiladas are stripped of their tortillas and instead are made with the use of zucchinis.

The zucchini here is used to hold all that cheesy goodness in while baking in a chili. They re super good and a perfect way to get your enchilada fix while also getting full on pure vegetable goodness. And when I say there’s a lot of veggies going on here, I mean it…

Looking for a quick dinner idea? Look no further! This Queso Chicken Bake is here just for you! And when I say queso, I do mean queso! Just look at his cheesy an delicious this chicken is! I should note too, it doesn’t get more simple to easy than this toss and bake recipe either. with just 5 ingredients, you can have dinner tossed together and ready to go in no time at all!

Being as this dish is so simple and has so few ingredients, there isn’t much to change here other than to swap some of the things out for ‘no salt added’ or ‘low sodium’ options. This way you can season it yourself to your own liking. Which I almost guarantee is less salt overall…

Tex-Mex Chicken Cakes (Air-Fryer)

June 18, 2021 Amanda Plott

I don’t make it a big secret that I am no fan of seafood. I am not now and have never been. It’s not got anything to do with an allergy or taste or texture. It is simply that I don’t want seafood in my mouth. It’s one of my many strange little quirks. That generally means that for most of my life, I’ve made seafood free alternatives, and these Tex-Mex Chicken Cakes are one of those!

Crab cakes or fish cakes have always intrigued me, but again… being as I’m not a fan of seafood I thought I’d try my hand at making a chicken version. These Tex-Mex Chicken Cakes are super simple to make and you get a lot of bang for your buck with a whopping 14 cakes made with one go of it…
