It’s finally here. We’re down to the finally 7 days before school lets out for the summer for my kiddo and I honestly thing that at this point, I’m more excited than she is. I just want to get through the next few days and have the freedom of summer ahead of us. That being said, I’m also in the throes of getting beach-bum ready. And that means watching what I’m eating and doing all the more.

With my focus on all that, and summer being the season of snacks around here, I decided to make some fun Burger Bites! These Burger Bites are so good too. Perfect for a snack sort of light summer friendly meal or quick appetizer. They start out with a burger meatball paired with all the burger classics; tomato, lettuce, pickle, cheese, and of course a tater tot!…

Slow Cooker Sausage & Peppers

May 20, 2019 Amanda Plott

Who knew that such a delicious meal could be made with just 5 simple ingredients and 3 hours of hands-off cooking time? Well, this girl! As we’re getting closer to Summer here in Texas, I’m starting to already use my stove and oven less and less. It’s freaking HOT here already, y’all! Any excuse that I can find to use my crock pot or pressure cooker, is a good one.

This Slow Cooker Sausage & Peppers dish is a life saver. A meal for those busy weekdays or lazy weekends. And it’s so simple that there is absolutely no fuss or muss in the kitchen. Sausage, peppers, onions, broth and some hot sauce. That’s all you need for this low-carb, keto-friendly one pot wonder meal!…

Spring Vegetable Crudités Plate

April 10, 2019 Amanda Plott

To go along with my Skinny Whipped Feta Dip from yesterday, I decided to make a beautiful plate of Spring veggies! The plate is half Spring inspired and half Mediterranean inspired to go along with the feta dip. Along with the other disable bits, there’s some olives and capers on the plate too.

The plate of Crudités starts off with the Skinny Whipped Feta Dip. Then there’s plenty of slices zucchini, salami, tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, berries, and of course… olives and capers! I’ve made my fair share of plates, trays, and other sorts of sharable appetizers before. But, I have to say that this Spring Vegetable Crudités Plate is well balanced and one of my new faves!…

'Everything' Egg Bites

March 7, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s just been an EVERYTHING kind of week so far. You know? Everything Deviled Eggs. Everything Pigs in a Blanket. And now… Everything Egg Bites!

Sort of like with the Everything Deviled Eggs the other day, I added a touch of cream cheese to the egg bites this time to give that subtle taste and richness that one would get with an everything bagel with cream cheese.

I also put some bacon in there because…everything is better with bacon! And there’s just enough ‘Everything’ seasoning in there to give the flavor without overpowering everything else…

'Everything' Deviled Eggs

March 2, 2019 Amanda Plott

Everything Bagels and the seasoning used on them is ALL the rage right now. So when I got some of the seasoning in my hot little hands this weekend… I knew that I was going to have to make a few fun things with it! These 'Everything' Deviled Eggs were first up on the list.

Deviled eggs are sort of staple in my house. They’re a favorite around here, which of course I don’t mind one bit since they’re pretty damn good for you. Low-carb, low-fat, high protein, and of course… gluten-free! Good stuff all the way around. And when you add ‘Everything’ seasoning into the mix? Well, you just can’t go wrong…

3 Ingredient Pimento Cheese Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers

January 28, 2019 Amanda Plott

The BIG football game is upon us THIS weekend, y’all! My family and I are already busy making gamely spread plans. I decided though, that I need to have a practice run this weekend though to test out this new recipe. And it worked out so well that I just HAD to share it right away. I mean… how can you go wrong with a 3 ingredient wonder?

How can you go wrong with stuffed Jalapeños? Or cheese? Or bacon? The simple answer is… you can’t! These Jalapeños aren’t stuffed with any cheese though. Nope! They’re stuffed with none other than pimento cheese. Don’t know what that is? Well, you should! Pimento cheese is a southern staple that’s made with shredded cheese, pimentos, and a few other things. It can be used as a spread on a sandwich or even a dip for crackers…
