BLT Lettuce Wraps

January 16, 2014 Amanda Plott

When I first had the thought to do BLT Lettuce wraps, I was scared that they wouldn't be filling enough or hefty enough to satisfy as a meal. So when I went to work putting these together, I made sure to use some nice big romaine leaves and lots of chunks of tomato as filler.

These were super amazing and oh-so-filling! I even had trouble in getting all three down but they were just so delicious and guilt-free that I felt I owed it to myself and the rest of the world to bully through the last one.

I think the next time that I make these, I'll do two per serving instead and serve along side a bowl of Skinny Tomato Basil Soup!...

Avocado Chicken Salad (Mayo-less)

Oh, avocados... how I love you.

I went the vast majority of my life, up until a few years ago, absolutely hating avocados and anything to do with them. I think it was that child mentality. It's green and slimy and there for must be gross!

I'm not sure what it was. Okay. I do know what it was. Guacamole.

Now I find any excuse I can to use an avocado...

Detox Rainbow Salad

I'm busy getting my body back to health this week after over a month of being sick with one thing after the other. If there's anything that can help give the much needed health boost to my system, it's this salad.

There's so many good things in this salad that I can hardly stand it!...

Healthy Fall Salad

October 30, 2013 Amanda Plott

There are all sorts of spring and summer salads out there... but why not enjoy a salad in the fall or winter months?

Instead of working off the winter weight after the fact, just kick it in the pants ahead of time.

This salad is exploding with flavors of fall with baby spinach, bleu cheese, cranberries, pear, and even some pumpkin kernels!

This is a super fun and simple salad that combines some of my favorite traditional summer flavors together in a rather unique way!...

Fiesta Pasta Salad & Green Chile Lime Vinaigrette

June 18, 2013 Amanda Plott

This is ridiculously delicious. And it takes little to no time at all to prepare!

I wanted something cold, light, and veggieful to help combat the heat of the summer after a weekend impromptu tubing adventure down the Comal river with my parents and three year old little lady...
