3 Ingredient Biscuits

May 17, 2014 Amanda Plott

Yes, only 3 ingredients are needed to make these perfectly guilt free biscuits! I can honestly say that I've never made biscuits from scratch before, so I was a little nervous about trying this for the first time. I'm not really sure why I've never made them before. Perhaps I had it in my mind that they were supposed to be daily difficult and taxing. I've made plenty of other breads, rolls, cakes, etc... So why not biscuits?

These were super easy and I was entirely surprised and thrilled with how well they turned out! Especially considering that they only took 3 ingredients and about 10 minutes of preparing. That's it!...

Skinny Green Chile & Cheddar Corn Casserole

May 9, 2014 Amanda Plott

Corn casserole is one of those famous southern things. Though... oddly enough we never had it in my house when I was growing up. We always had cornbread. Not because we weren't fans of corn casserole or anything... we just always had cornbread instead, and I have no answer for 'why'.

To be honest, this corn casserole was actually a happy little accident on my part.

I told you. I too make mistakes in the kitchen, especially with baking!...

Spinach & White Bean Tacos

Who knew that veggie tacos could be so amazingly delicious and filling?!

Oh, well... me - of course!

I am always trying new and interesting ways to add more vegetables into our lives here. It's not always an easy task if you have a preschooler who's more than a little finicky when it comes to food...

Crock Pot 'Baked' Potatoes (With Skinny Pesto & Parmesan)

April 26, 2014 Amanda Plott

For the longest time, I never knew this little trick. You can fake-bake your potatoes in a slow cooker, and it's so super easy that it's pretty ridiculous!

I've been using this method for a while now, and it's definitely handy during the hotter spring/summer months when you don't want to boil the house up with turning your oven on. Plus, the potatoes can sit there and cook through the day leaving you not to h ave to worry with them at all...

Skinny Jalapeño Pimento Cheese

April 22, 2014 Amanda Plott

I know, I know... there's a lot of people out there (mostly in the northern states), that don't have any idea what pimento cheese is - nor what they are missing out on with it not being in their lives!

I've made a Skinny Pimento Cheese before, but I always wanted to go back and make a spicy jalapeño version of it because... well, I love spicy stuff. Besides... what goes better with cheese than jalapeños anyway?...

Skinny 7 Layer Tostadas

April 19, 2014 Amanda Plott

When I was first hatching this plan, I was looking to make tostadas, but I really wanted more of a meatless recipe for the week. I always have at least one meatless dinner a week because it saves time, money, and usually a few calories!

Anyway, I figured... I love tostadas and I love 7 Layer Dip... so why not put the two together?

Perfect!...
