Air-Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

January 15, 2020 Amanda Plott

Game day is getting closer and closer and I’m over here getting ready with some of my favorite kinds of food; game day bites! I am SO excited to share these Air-Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Wings. I have tried more than a few times in the past to make CRISPY buffalo cauliflower, but for one reason or another it has never, NOT ONCE, turned out well for me.

Finally, I’ve cracked the code with the use of a new handy dandy kitchen gadget called… the air-fryer! I never had any intention of having a fryer of any kind in my home, but then the air-fryer became a thing and well… that all changed…

Beet & Pomegranate Salad

December 5, 2019 Amanda Plott

Sometimes in cold weather… you still need a salad to properly get those veggies into your life. You know? This Beet & Pomegranate Salad is a great way to load up on veggies and not on guilt. …Yes, salads can be guilty. And in a sneaky way too! So many people seem to think that all salads must be healthy just because they’ve got veggies involved, but I’m here to say… that just isn’t true!

If you look at almost any menu at any restaurant, the salads is probably not even close to being the lowest in calories. This one though is made with all the GOOD stuff and none of the bad stuff. It’s quick, easy to make, and that even includes a homemade vinaigrette dressing…

November 19, 2019 Amanda Plott

Some mornings just require a simple sort of breakfast. And as the first round of Holiday shenanigans starts next week, I thought there was no time like the present to get a nice, easy to make, healthy and festive breakfast on the menu. This Cranberry-Orange Steel Cut Oatmeal checks all those boxes. It’s made in a matter of minutes and is perfectly delicious!

Cranberry and orange are the perfect pairing, especially when it comes to the winter Holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. That’s why I decided to use those flavors in this oatmeal for a perfect breakfast bite with enough made for the whole family…

Whole Wheat Vegan Biscuits

Baby it’s cold outside…

And I need some biscuits in my life! Now, I’ve made some simple biscuits in the past, like my 3 ingredient biscuits or even these low carb ones that I paired with gravy. Today though, I wanted to stay simple and have some biscuits on hand for breakfast sandwiches this week. I didn’t want just any old biscuit though, I wanted them to be whole wheat this time around!

I took some of the basics from my 3 ingredient biscuits and made the needed adjustments to turn them into whole wheat biscuits instead. Of course the thing that made the ‘ 3 ingredient’ version was the self-rising flour…

One Pot Vegan Pumpkin Curry Soup

October 23, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s starting to really cool off and stay cooled off here in Austin and I couldn’t be any more ready than I am! Bring it on Fall! This One Pot Vegan Pumpkin Curry Soup is a great Fall soup. It’s thick, ‘creamy’ without any cream added, and perfectly guilt-free. It’s also gluten-free with no added oils or sugars! The best part is, you get 2 heaping cups in each serving that comes in well below 300 calories.

Even with all of that? This soup is easily made in ONE pot in under 30 minutes! How can a dinner time soup get any easier than that? Did I mention this soup is completely delicious? Yeah, that too…

Roasted Beet & Butternut Squash Salad (With Beet Infused Vinaigrette)

October 14, 2019 Amanda Plott

I love beets.

And the saddest part is that I went most of my life so far without knowing that. It was just in the past 5 years or so that I came to realize that I love them. I had some roasted beets on a salad and immediately fell in love. Tender and full of flavor with such minimal effort? Sign me up!

Another thing I love about beets? Their amazing natural color. Generally when cooking beets, I find myself discarding the juices. Today though? I got the notion to reuse those juices along with some olive oil to make one of the best and simplest vinaigrettes that I’ve ever had…
