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.

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…

Healthified Turkey Lettuce Wraps

So, here's the thing... I've been making these for a few years now. Lettuce wraps are one of my favorite things to order from P.F. Changs or Pei Wei, mostly because they are sooo delicious and I don't feel quite as guilty eating them as other options on the menu at either place.

Naturally, I always try and recreate my restaurant faves at home so that I can enjoy them and make them even more guilt-free by being completely in control of what's going into them. These lettuce wraps were no different...

Did y'all know that April is National Soy Foods Month? There's probably not a girl out there that love soy anymore than I do either. I could turn around and be a vegetarian tomorrow if I really wanted to. And trust me, I have threatened myself with doing that very thing. For over a year now, I've strived to create at LEAST one vegetarian family dinner a week. Though generally it turns into more like two or three dinners a week.

Eating meatless meals a few times a week can not only be better for you, it can also save you a lot of money at the grocery store. I'm talking... I can easily shave $50 off my weekly grocery bill for a small family of three...

Healthified Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken Bowls

April 29, 2016 Amanda Plott

There are a handful of recipes that I have been developing off and on through the years for one reason or another. Some of them don't turn out the first run or two, others I burn myself out in, and some take a specific amount of tweaking to get it just right. This happens to be one of those recipes.

When I was younger, I ate a lot more fast food just as almost any young American. My mom was not nearly as excited about food and cooking as I am, and that is completely fine. Everyone has their own passion. So, my dad ended up doing the most of the cooking on the nights that he could, but sometimes he would come home way too exhausted to manage; this was around the time when I was in high school...

Crispy Tofu & Roasted Vegetable Buddha Bowl

April 5, 2016 Amanda Plott

It's National Soy Foods Month, and I couldn't be more excited. I've been working pretty hard lately to try and meet a more plant based diet. So to celebrate, I've created a perfectly light and flavorful plant powered Buddha bowl!

This Buddha bowl (or Hippie Bowl) has a base of purple cabbage, it's layered on top with roasted vegetables (brussels sprouts, butternut squash, and edamame) and crispy tofu fries that were paired with a perfectly spiced Skinny Sriracha Aioli - perfect for dipping! It's easy to make too! With just two baking sheets and the oven doing almost all of the work for you...
