Egg Roll Soup

November 19, 2018 Amanda Plott

If you like egg rolls, and you like soup, then this is the soup for you! Remember a while back when I made that Egg Roll Bowl? Well, this is sort of a winter-ized take on that. It’s an egg roll that’s been turned into a soup!

Yes, all the flavors and components of a good egg roll are here in this soup; including onions, cabbage, carrots, and meat. Even though I made my last egg roll recipe with chicken, I decided to go with turkey this time around. This was for no other reason than texture. It’s low-carb, gluten-free, and ridiculously easy to make all in one pot…

Skinny Cream Cheese Rangoon Dip & Wonton Chips

July 20, 2018 Amanda Plott

I keep saying that I'm swearing off my stove and oven right now, and then the very next day I'm firing one, or both of them, up again cook some yummies. And so far lately, all the yummies have been worth heating the house up over. And this Skinny Cream Cheese Rangoon Dip with Wonton Chips inso different. I may even do the very same thing again tonight!

So first thing first. I love cream cheese rangoons. I've made them a few times, and... I could probably eat my weight in them with no questions asked. That being said, I'm all about putting a twist on the things I love. I guess that's why I decided to turn cream cheese rangoons into a dip!…

Healthified Turkey Lettuce Wraps

April 13, 2018 Amanda Plott

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...

Instant Pot Summer Vegetable & Chicken Curry

August 4, 2017 Amanda Plott

I've kind of completely and utterly fallen in love with my new pressure cooker, y'all. Before I got this baby, I was all about the slow cooker. But, now? Just toss it in the pressure cooker for a few minutes and you've got yourself a full on meal that would have taken HOURS in the slow cooker. And the best thing is, if you like a slow cooker - it can slow cook too! It's amazing for one pots too, like this curry right here.

Curry is another one of my favorite 'use up leftover' meals. No matter what veggies or meat you have on hand, you can most likely make a curry with it...

5 Ingredient Thai Butternut Squash Soup (Crock Pot)

March 25, 2016 Amanda Plott

So about a week ago I got my hands on the biggest butternut squash that I've ever seen in my life. The best part about it was that it was from a local Texas farm, which you know I'm all about. I had already used the squash in two previous meals this week and was racking my brain to come up with a third and final use so that I could get it all eaten up before the weekend. Because, you know, there is a lot of Easter happenings and I couldn't let this beauty go to waste.

This smooth and creamy thai butternut squash was the perfect was to use up my mammoth of a squash. And what's better is that it is super simple to make since there is little prep work with only 5 ingredients, and the crock pot will do all of the cooking for you...

Healthified Pumpkin Curry Ramen

October 20, 2015 Amanda Plott

I know that I created a ramen recipe just a week or two ago, but I promise that this one is totally different and unique in it's own way from any traditional one. This yummy ramen is full of all those warm fall flavors that we all know and love; pumpkin, ginger, and plenty of spice.

Some of you might be making a face by now, I know. Pumpkin? In ramen? I promise you (just as I promised my mom), this stuff is great! The pumpkin flavor is very light and definitely gives this ramen a creamier feel without being weighed down with heavy creams and the like.

Plus, look at that gorgeous color? Talk about eating the rainbow...
