Parmesan Rosemary Bread

November 16, 2021 Amanda Plott

Sometimes you just need a really good bread to go with dinner to sop up the leftovers of a good soup or stew. And this Parmesan Rosemary Bread is perfect for that. It’s got rosemary and parmesan baked right into the bread so there’s that bump of added flavor for whatever you happen to pair this bread with. Though if we’re being honest, this bread would also make a really good sandwich!

The bread dough is most easily made in a bread machine, but I also included the directions for making it if you don’t have a bread machine. Either way you go about it, this is a great yeast bread recipe whether you’re new or experienced with working with yeast dough…

Halloween Bread

October 28, 2021 Amanda Plott

With just a few days more before it’s Halloween I wanted to make my daughter’s lunch box extra special. So, I decided to make this fun Halloween colored sandwich bread! I made it based off of my Rainbow Bread, but with a slight recolor to go along with Halloween!

I made this bread dough in my bread machine and then colored it, sandwiched it all together, rolled it up and made it into a loaf for baking. You can also make this bread without a bread machine. I only used mine for the mixing and rising aspect…

Turkey Bacon Pesto 'Tortilla Trend' Breakfast Wrap

July 7, 2021 Amanda Plott

This morning I decided to take the tortilla wrap trend to the next level with this pesto-goodness loaded breakfast wrap! This tortilla trend has just about a little of everything. Fresh veggies, pesto, cheese, bacon, and of course egg!

It’s delicious and takes just a few minutes to toss together. Plus, being as it’s a tortilla trend, it’s completely portable and makes for the BEST grab-and-go breakfast you can get your hands on. And with just a few simple swaps, this breakfast is completely guilt-free…

Lemon Poppy Seed Chicken Salad

April 12, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s Spring and for me that means it’s time to play around with all things lemon and poppy seed. This Lemon Poppy Seed Chicken Salad is a fun twist on a classic chicken salad. That’s chicken salad, not chicken in a salad. Most of the time when you think of lemon and poppy seed, you think of sweet treats. But, not today!

This chicken salad is savory through and through. The bright pop of lemon and the bit of crunch from the poppy seeds really makes this a chicken salad to remember. It’s perfect all on its own or used on a sandwich or as part of a Spring inspired green leaf salad. Though I would absolutely stuff this chicken salad into a tomato too!…

Black Burger Buns (Bread Machine)

September 24, 2020 Amanda Plott

Halloween is coming! I’m about to get my Halloween decorations down, the weather is turning cooler, and I couldn’t be more ready for the Fall. The world might be more crazy than ever, but I’m going to enjoy my favorite holiday this year, one way or another. Now… usually around this time of year I’m coming ip with all recipes pumpkin and Halloween inspired. This year? No different!

These Black Burger Buns are fairly easy to make with a bread machine. And their dark color makes them PERFECT for a Halloween inspired burger. I made ‘werewolf’ burgers in that they were mostly just neat colors that made me think of werewolves; black, purples, deep reds, etc…

Thai Chicken Wrap

July 26, 2020 Amanda Plott

Lunch is served! This Thai Chicken Wrap is as simple as it comes. A simple lavash pita bread wrapping cabbage, carrot, peanuts, and chicken! There isn’t much here to lighten up since all of the ingredients are already fairly clean and simple. And this Thai Chicken Wrap must absolutely be served with a Thai Peanut Dressing for dipping.

The sauce is pretty much what makes this wrap ‘Thai chicken’. But, if you aren’t a fan of Thai peanut sauce then you are more than welcome to try any other number of dipping sauces that you enjoy instead. This wrap is super easy though and perfect PERFECT for meal prepping lunches for the week…
