Girl Dinner / Grazing Board

December 30, 2025 Amanda Plott

If you’ve spent even five minutes on social media in the last few years, you’ve likely encountered the “girl dinner” — a delightfully chaotic, no-rules meal built from snacks, fridge finds, and whatever satisfied contemporary cravings. It’s casual, creative, and unapologetically joyful. Now imagine capturing that energy in a grazing board: an easy, customizable platter you can assemble in minutes that looks gorgeous, eats even better, and stays true to The Skinny Fork promise — tasty with a health-conscious twist…

Mushroom & Toasted Walnut Salad + Truffle Vinaigrette

December 18, 2025 Amanda Plott

Meet your new favorite side (or main, if you’re feeling fancy and carbo-loading on crusty bread): a mushroom-forward salad that’s earthy, crunchy, and dressed in a truffle vinaigrette so good it will make you whisper “wow” into your napkin. It’s healthy but indulgent — the kind of guilt-free deliciousness we live for. Think meaty mushrooms, crisp greens, toasted walnuts for that addictive snap, and a vinaigrette with just enough truffle personality to steal the show…

Giant Toffee & Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies

December 10, 2025 Amanda Plott

If you love buttery shortbread, melty chocolate, and crunchy toffee shards, this recipe is your new cookie crush. These are not dainty tea biscuits — they’re giant, slightly crisp-edged, tender-centered shortbread disks studded with chocolate chips and toffee bits that melt into pockets of caramelized heaven.

No Bake Peanut Butter & Blueberry Oat Bars

December 7, 2025 Amanda Plott

If you think dessert has to be complicated, loud, or require the oven to audition for a spot on a reality show, think again. These No-Bake Peanut Butter & Blueberry Oat Bars are everything you want in a snack: chewy, slightly crunchy, subtly sweet, and packed with real ingredients that do good things for your body. They’ve got the nostalgic peanut-butter-and-jelly vibes with a modern, health-conscious twist—no baking, and zero guilt.

Why you’ll love them

  • Fast: Ready in about 20 minutes with a short chill time.

  • Nourishing: Rolled oats, nut butter, and chia seeds lend fiber, protein, and healthy fats.

  • Flexible: Use fresh, frozen, or freeze-dried blueberries (each gives slightly different texture and flavor).

  • Kid-friendly: Sweet but not cloying—perfect for lunchboxes or after-school fuel.

  • Pantry-friendly: Minimal ingredients, many of which you probably already have…

Cottage Cheese BLT Bowl

November 29, 2025 Amanda Plott

Who says you can’t have your BLT and eat it too—healthier, that is? If you’re a fan of the classic Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato sandwich but want to skip the bread and load up on protein instead, the Cottage Cheese BLT Bowl is your new best friend. This dish takes all the tasty goodness of a BLT and flips it into a bowl that’s packed with fresh tomatoes, crispy bacon, and creamy cottage cheese, making it a perfect guilt-free meal anytime.

What Makes This Bowl So Good?

Protein-packed, low-carb, and full of flavor. Cottage cheese sneaks in a serious dose of protein and calcium without the heaviness of traditional cheese or mayo. The bacon brings that crave-worthy salty crunch, while fresh tomatoes and crisp lettuce add color, fiber, and crunch. You’ve got a bright, satisfying dish that feels indulgent but fuels your body right…
