Buffalo Chicken Nachos

August 4, 2021 Amanda Plott

It won’t be long now and it will be football season. I should know, my daughter is a cheerleader this year! I’m always down for gameday food, but I think this year will be that much more special. And nothing says gameday or tailgating quite like buffalo chicken. Let me just say too, these easy Buffalo Chicken Nachos are where it’s at.

I found some gluten free lime multi grain chips at the store, and just knew they would go perfectly well with some sort of buffalo chicken goodness. And here we are! These nachos are a little Tex-Mex mixed with just a touch of an American favorite; buffalo chicken…

Tex-Mex Cheese Zucchini Enchiladas

August 1, 2021 Amanda Plott

I was really wanting some enchiladas this week. and not just any enchiladas. I wanted the traditional Tex-Mex cheese and chili version. I also really wanted to up my vegetable game, so I opted to make these enchiladas NAKED. That’s right, these enchiladas are stripped of their tortillas and instead are made with the use of zucchinis.

The zucchini here is used to hold all that cheesy goodness in while baking in a chili. They re super good and a perfect way to get your enchilada fix while also getting full on pure vegetable goodness. And when I say there’s a lot of veggies going on here, I mean it…

Do you like pop tarts? Do you like blueberries? Then you’ve got to try this Blueberry Poptart Stuffed Blended & Baked Oatmeal! Okay, so I know that’s a mouthful, but it’s important to get the point across that these oats are blended into basically an oat flour and then used to make a cakelike or muffinlike base. So even if you aren’t a fan of oatmeal usually, you may like this blended option!

It’s a super clever and simple way to get some oatmeal in your life without the usual oatmeal texture. To make these oats even better, I stuffed them with blueberry goodness and topped it all off with a drizzle of glaze and some rainbow sprinkles, because sprinkles are life…

Today my daughter is at her first cheer camp to learn all she needs to for cheerleading at her middle school this year. What does that mean? Back-to-School is hot my heels and it’s time to roll out those easy to do one pot dinners. This Chicken Pot Pie Casserole is just that. It gives you all you expect out of a chicken pot pie, but without having for fuss and worry with pie dough!

This casserole starts off with a pretty standard roux that you then add veggies and chicken to. It’s all topped off with some biscuit dough and baked together to make one delicious dinner that’s put together and done in no time at all…

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…

Zucchini Cheeseburger Skillet

Craving for something easy and cheesy? Look no further! This Zucchini Cheeseburger Skillet is easy to make, all in one skillet, and has all the cheesy goodness of a cheeseburger without any of the guilt. I based it off the same idea as my Zucchini Taco Skillet, but used cheeseburger components instead of taco. The end result was this burger in a bowl.

I made sure to load this skillet up with plenty of veggies, zucchini, onion, lettuce, and even some fresh tomato! Like I said, this has everything you love about a cheeseburger, even pickles! It starts out with meat and onion, then there’s tomatoes and seasonings, and it’s all followed up with zucchini and condiments!…
