Instant Pot Ribs

January 11, 2021 Amanda Plott

Look, sometimes a girl just needs to eat some BBQ. I’ll be honest, I’ve never actually cooked ribs on my own. I’ve eaten plenty of them. But cooking them? It just sounds scary! Even as a native Texan, the thought of cooking GOOD ribs seems daunting. So when I cam across the idea of cooking them in the pressure cooker? I was sold.

These Instant Pot Ribs are pretty damn good for what they are. No smoking. No marinating. Just rub them down and pop them in the pressure cooker before finishing them off with a quick roast under the broiler. Yep. It’s just that easy…

Bacon & Egg Toaster Strudel

August 10, 2020 Amanda Plott

It wasn’t too long ago that I made my take on a traditional toaster strudel. You know, the sweet version with fruit filling and icing on top. This time around, I thought I would take the savory route! Bacon, egg, and cheese is the name of the game today.

These Bacon & Egg Toaster Strudel are crazy easy to make and leaves you with 6 whole servings. It helps too that they’re perfectly delicious and can be made ahead of time. Or, you know, jus enjoy them right away - warm and fresh out of the oven…

Greek Pork Kabobs

These Greek Pork Kabobs are easy-peasy lemon squeezy! Whip up a delicious Greek inspired marinade with a handful of spices, olive oil, and lemon. Skewer and grill. These kabobs can be made well ahead of time and kept in the fridge up until you’re ready to grill and enjoy, making them great for a weeknight meal prep!

There really isn’t any way to keep these kabobs light because they’re naturally lean. I went with a pork tenderloin, but chicken would be a great choice of protein here as well…

During hard times, sometimes you just need some good old-fashioned comfort food. I mean… this soup isn’t really old-fashioned, but Chicken Cordon Bleu is an older dish. Today I decided to give Chicken Cordon Bleu a bit of a twist and turned it into the soup. Yep, that’s right… everything you love about Chicken Cordon Bleu in a pot of soup. Right down to the dijon!…

We’ve all made our New Year’s resolutions and now it’s time to continue sticking to them! This year, as with any year, my goal is to continue eating better and more health conscious. Eating ‘right’ can come in a lot of forms, and for me one way to do that this year is to start eating more ethically and simply.

These potato skins are just that. Simple. As simple as they can possibly be. From the potato to the bacon on top there is minimal ingredients used or time spent here! Another good thing about these potato skins? They’re great as a side dish OR as a hot appetizer. I’m thinking… game day spread. Oh, yeah!…

The start of school means the end of summer, right? Right?! I have to say, that I have just about reached my limit on the heat over here in Texas right now. And I am more than ready for the cooler days of fall that are headed our way. Hopefully sooner than later. It's 100 degrees + here right now and I just can't anymore.

I'm hoping I'll be setting the tone for fall with this Pumpkin Spice Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders. What? Pumpkin spice and chicken tenders? Yes! I promise you that it's nothing to be scared of. It's a little outside of the box, but amazingly delicious and is so so SO easy to make with just 5 ingredients. I'm serious, y'all. Just count them!…
