Peanut Butter & Soy Silken Tofu

November 14, 2025 Amanda Plott

Alright, food adventurers, gather ’round because I’m about to drop a culinary love story that’s equal parts weird and wonderful. Peanut butter and soy silken tofu might sound like odd bedfellows, but trust me—this creamy, dreamy duo is a match made in health-conscious heaven.

Why Peanut Butter & Silken Tofu?

Silken tofu is the underrated MVP of the plant-based world—super smooth, ultra-soft, and bland enough that it happily takes on any flavor you throw its way. Peanut butter? Oh, that familiar nutty goodness that makes everything instantly better. Mix these two, and you get a luscious, protein-packed powerhouse perfect for guilt-free indulgence.

Fennel & Kale Asian Salad

January 17, 2020 Amanda Plott

Most of the time when you come across an Asian inspired salad, it’s a lot of the same.

Greens. Oranges. Sesame dressing.

Today I thought I would try my hand at something a little bit different with a nod to one of my all time favorite salads; my Citrus Fennel Salad! Fennel is a very underrated vegetable that even I don’t use as much as I would like to. And even though new things can be scary, I promise, this salad will have you happy you tried this fun Asian twist…

Asian Marinated Eggs

October 21, 2019 Amanda Plott

Originally, I was introduced to soy marinated eggs at a local ramen joint. Of course… I’m not the most confident in my skills to soft boil, peel, and marinate said eggs myself sooo… the next best thing is a hard-boiled version! And I say next best only because these are really just a very different animal all together. The idea is the same though. And the taste is too!

These Asian Marinated Eggs are a delicious and easy to make addition to … well, almost any Asian inspired meal. Add them to ramen, serve as a side with a salad, or even as an appetizer…

Soba Noodle Lunch Box

September 3, 2019 Amanda Plott

I’ve found lately that meal prepping my lunches has been my saving grace. If it wasn’t for preparing my lunches for a few days in advance, well… I’d be making some rather poor choices when it came time to eat. Getting back into the rhythm of ‘back-to-school’ has been a tougher transition this year than I had imagined.

This Soba Noodle Lunch Box is asian inspired with soba noodles, spiraled veggies, and of course a homemade Thai peanut dressing that is finger-licking good. Not only can you make this lunch box up ahead of time, you can also rest easy knowing the entire lunch is only 250 calories and vegetarian!…

Low-Carb Chicken Egg Roll Bowl (Keto-Friendly)

February 25, 2018 Amanda Plott

Alright, so I've been playing around with this recipe for a few months now. I keep telling myself every time I make it, that I'm going to take the pictures and post it up here. But, for one reason or another, it just hasn't worked out until now!

One of the problems has honestly been that this egg roll bowl is just so good that it's hard to not be scarfing on it long before you ever even make it to the table. It literally tastes like the filling of an egg roll, and we all know that's the best part of the egg roll...

Healthified Crock Pot Beef & Broccoli

May 20, 2016 Amanda Plott

So, as you can see I'm busy blowing the dust off of some of my older and more popular dishes. I've been making minor changes and updating pictures along the way as I've needed to. Of course, Beef and broccoli is one of those things that is always a crowd pleaser. It's certainly one of my favorite asian dishes!

That being said, it's likely that a serving of it at your favorite local restaurant will cost you a good 600+ calories, a lot of sugar, and even more sodium. Yikes! No thanks...

It's take-out fake-out time...
