2 Ingredient Peanut Butter & Nutella Cookie Cups

November 6, 2022 Amanda Plott

It just doesn’t get any more simple than this when it comes to cookies, folks. These 2 Ingredient Peanut Butter & Nutella Cookie Cups are the easiest cookies I’ve ever put together. And they’re super tasty too! When starting these cookie cups off, I picked up some refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough that was pre-made so that there was less fuss on my end.

After that, they were baked, shaped into cookie cups, and then filled with hazelnut spread. You can eat these warm, or directly out of the fridge for a nice cool sweet bite since they can be stored in the fridge for a few days after being made. They’re a great grab-and-go snack to have on hand…

Instant Pot Butter Chicken

July 21, 2022 Amanda Plott

If you’ve never had Butter Chicken before, you definitely need to try it. Butter chicken is a lot like tikka masala, but it more mild in the spice department. Tikka masala tends to have a bit more heat to it where as the butter chicken is the least spicy of these similar curry like dishes. Normally I go with tikka masala, but my kiddo wanted to try a non-spicy curry, so I decided to go with butter chicken instead. It’s great for a first timer.

This Butter Chicken is suuuuuper easy to make in the instant pot and is done in no time at all. Literally 15 minutes and you’ve got dinner ready to go. You get so much flavor packed into this dish that it’s hard to explain. It’s warm without being spicy at all and is amazing when served over jasmine rice…

PB&J Snack Mix

May 25, 2021 Amanda Plott

Summer is coming and it’s always nice to have a snack mix on hand for yourself, others, or the kiddos when you’re out and about. And hopefully we all get to be just a little more out and about this year. This PB&J Snack Mix is a great grab-and-go mix because it’s very summer friendly being as there isn’t much in here that’s prone to the summer heat.

This mix has some good stuff in it that pretty much any PB&J lover will adore. Real strawberries. Peanuts. And a lot in between. This snack mix has just a little bit of everything from salty to sweet and back again along with a variety of textures ranging from soft to crunchy…

Skinny Peanut Butter Bread

November 16, 2020 Amanda Plott
peanut-butter-bread12.jpg

Baking is the name of the game right now. It never fails, every year in the midst of Fall and Winter months I attempt to get as much use out of my oven as possible since it becomes too hot to do so through the most of the Spring and Summer months. I’ve made a lot of breads lately and I’ve got to say that this Skinny Peanut Butter Bread is one of my favorites.

This bread is perfectly sweet and full of peanut butter flavor. I found it to be a great breakfast bread, but I’m wondering too if there could be other uses by way of a PB&J sandwich…

Dark Chocolate Oat Bars

February 6, 2019 Amanda Plott
dark-chocolate-oat-bars13.jpg

Dark. Chocolate. Oat. Bars.

These oat bars are delicious AND easy to make. Sure. They take 2 hours of chilling in the fridge, but so long as you can wait it out. These bad boys are basically fool proof. Plus, they’re ridiculously easy to make gluten-free with a simple swap of flours.

If you’re gluten-free, you know what to do here so I’m not even going to get into it.

With a handful of whole ingredients and right at 15 minutes of hands-on prep time, you can have these bars ready to go with minimal effort. Great for breakfast, brunch, dessert, or as a snack. Kids are going to love them. Adults are going to love them. They’re good stuff.

A fin mix of a granola bar and a cookie. But. With no baking required!

If you’re scared of not baking the flour, I’ve heard it mentioned before that you can zap your flour in the microwave for a few seconds to get it up to temperature and kill off any nasties that way. I haven’t researched that myself, so I have no idea if that factually is a thing though.

Yum

These mashed no-tatoes are made with cauliflower instead of potatoes and are loaded up with all the goodies to make them 'fully loaded'. We're talking bacon, cheese, green onion... the works!…
