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…

Molten lava cakes are just one of those things that are hard to pass up. I mean who doesn't like a nice warm cake that’s filled with delicious melty goo? I know it’s not something I can say no to!

How many times now have I said that weekends are for baking? Many, many times! These Blackberry Oat Bars are little bites of oatmeal base with fresh blackberries peppered in for a little bit of tart among the sweetness of the bar. And I’ve got to say too, these are super easy to make.

The oatmeal base for these bars is made all in own bowl, and the blackberries are sandwiched in the middle to bake into perfect little bars that you can enjoy for breakfast, brunch, or even as a snack!…

BBQ Chicken Dip

Like I said, I’m busting out the game day recipes as we roll into football season this year. We’ve got to make up for missing out on game day spreads for a year now! And this BBQ Chicken Dip is sure to be a real crowd pleaser. Shredded chicken, bbq sauce, and cheese make up this delicious and easy to make dip. Really, it doesn’t get more easy to make than this dip right here.

One of my favorite parts about this dip though is that it will vary and change entirely depending on what kind of BBQ sauce you use in it. Like something spicy? Use a spicy sauce? Maybe you’re a sweet heat fan? Give that one a try! The point is, you get to make it your own with your favorite…

Instant Pot Poached Eggs

July 23, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s been a good long while since I had some eggs for breakfast and if I’m being very honest? I’ve never had a poached egg before in my life. I’ve had them just about every other way there is other than poached. So, this morning I decided to try my hand at it. However it’s summer and I’m lazy. Instant Pot to the rescue!

Oh, how many times the Instant Pot has saved me.

These eggs are cooked up in no time and require NO technical or cooking skills what-so-ever. That’s right. these poached eggs are cooked right in the pressure cooker and you can play around with the timing to get them exactly where you want them as far as yolks go…

Skinny Baked Galaxy Donuts

June 24, 2021 Amanda Plott

Last night was a full moon. So it just seemed appropriate to make these Skinny Baked Galaxy Donuts today. These donuts are baked (obviously) and are a mix of my Baked Dark Chocolate Coffee Donuts and my Unicorn Donuts. In other words, they’re a chocolate cake based donut with a colorful vanilla frosting and of course galaxy inspired sprinkles on top!

The best part is that you can use whatever space-like sprinkles you want and colors for frosting to match. My frostings were pretty dark and most of it just disappeared into the ether of the donuts only to serve as glue for the sprinkles to the donuts themselves. But, that’s fine. Lots of sprinkles it is!…
