Breakfast Waffledilla

November 3, 2022 Amanda Plott

Look, I don’t know - I love my waffle maker and I am always trying to come up with new and fun ways to use it that aren’t just standard waffles. This Breakfast Waffledilla is definitely that. It combines all the best parts of a breakfast quesadilla and stuffs it into waffle form. That’s right, this is full of bacon, egg, and cheese goodness and only takes a few minutes of hands on time.

I added some jalapeños to mine, but some fresh pico would be another good addition. There were really only a few things I could do to this to keep it lightened up, and that mostly involved the tortillas. I went with a low carb whole wheat tortilla that’s only 45 calories for one tortilla. I also went with a low sodium center cut bacon, because no one can ever tell the difference!…

Breakfast Roll Up Wrap

October 19, 2022 Amanda Plott

Who can say no to a good breakfast wrap? Not me! This Breakfast roll Up Wrap has been my go-to breakfast for the most of the last week or so. And it’s easy to see why. Bacon, eggs, and cheese all wrapped up and ready to go! Of course, I always have to add on some pico, salsa, and jalapeños for an extra kick!

All said and done, this roll up will only cost you about 300 calories, which isn’t bad at all when you consider what all you’re getting. Plus, it’s super filling and cheesy too! Bonus, it’s simple and easy to make on top of it all. Literally one pan and you’re done…

Skinny Creamy Jalapeño Ranch

September 22, 2022 Amanda Plott

This is another fun one that I absolutely had to update with some new pictures.

If you've ever been to Texas... you may have heard of a little place called Chuy's Mexican Restaurant. Mhn, the mere thought that place makes my mouth water. Seriously. They have some amazing Tex-mex. One of my most favorite things at Chuy's is their Creamy Jalapeño Ranch. It's something that they will serve along side chips, but... you have to ask for it! It's also used as a salad dressing option.

I've been trying for years now to find a recipe that's even remotely close to the infamous dip that Chuy's serves. There's a lot of options out there, but none of them can hold a candle to the original, especially when making any healthy substitutions…

Taco Jar Salad

August 29, 2022 Amanda Plott

If you can’t tell, I’ve been in jar salad mode for a while now. For me, it’s super easy to accidentally skip out on lunch, so having prepared jarred salads ready to go in my fridge means that I don’t have any excuse to miss out on a meal! These Taco Jar Salad are another great option too. You get a lot of bang for your buck here since there technically isn’t any salad dressing. We’re using salsa here!

The salsa naturally gives the salad a dressing of it’s own that is low in calories and in guilt. Which means you get to load this salad up with all the more taco goodness. We’re talking beans, corn, cheese, tomatoes. All of it! Even the meat and cheese…

Lightened Up Lazy Enchiladas

April 28, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s definitely that time of year where Summer is lingering on the horizon and we’ve all got to dig deep to try and push forward through the rest of the school year and into Summer break. Most years, I’m not quite ready for the hot 100 degree days and three months of blistering sunshine, but this year I am all in. I. Can’t. Wait. That being said, I still have things to do!

That’s where quick weeknight meals and easy dinner options come into play, like these Lightened Up Lazy Enchiladas! They are so easy to make and delish too. So what’s a lazy enchilada anyway? Well, there’s no tortillas involved. It’s basically a casserole that you make with tortilla chips, sauce, meat, and veggies. No rolling involved….

Healthified 'Tortilla Trend' Crunch Wrap

March 14, 2022 Amanda Plott

I’m back at it today with anther ‘tortilla trend’ idea! This one DOES actually use a tortilla this time and it’s a play on the infamous crunch wrap that you can get at Taco Bell, but… it’s made healthified! So, how does one make a crunch wrap better-for-you? Well, I swapped out the giant tortilla for a 100 calorie spinach and seed one, but really any 100 calorie flower-like tortilla will work here.

I also used vegetarian ground meat in mine, but mostly because that’s what I had on hand. Lean ground turkey will work here too. Other than that? I used my own seasonings and spices, and also a plain fat-free greek yogurt in place of the sour cream. Tada. Healthier crunch wrap!…
