Spinach & Artichoke Spaghetti Squash

July 20, 2024 Amanda Plott

Looking for a healthier twist on a classic dish? Try this Spinach & Artichoke Spaghetti Squash! This guilt-free dish combines tender baked spaghetti squash with flavorful spinach, savory artichokes, and a creamy, cheesy goodness.

I kept this dish light by swapping in some lower fat alternatives for the cheeses and keeping with a meatless meal too. You also want to be sure to season, season, season this all the way through. If you really want to add to it, use some Italian seasoning or even some of my Hot Sh!t Seasoning!…

Poblano Chicken Alfredo Dip

June 4, 2023 Amanda Plott

Sometimes in my house we just like to have what we call ‘snacky dinner’, which usually means finger foods of one kind or another. This time around I was feeling chips and dip, but I wanted something with a little bit of a twist to it. That’s where this Poblano Chicken Alfredo Dip comes in. This Poblano Chicken Alfredo Dip is super easy to make and it’s tasty too. It’s where Italian alfredo comes together with the spice of a poblano pepper.

The spice level on this dip varies, depending a lot on how spicy your pepper ends up being. Mine was really tame which is why I ended up also using a little bit of pepper jack cheese too. And even then, it was still pretty mild…

Chicken Alfredo Monkey Bread

November 10, 2021 Amanda Plott

I’ve been playing around with savory versions of monkey bread a lot over the last year or so. There’s just something fun about monkey bread, maybe it’s the fact that it’s a finger food or maybe it’s that it’s just a really good base for just about any meal. Breakfast or otherwise. Being as I’ve made a Pizza Monkey Bread before, I thought why not try my hand at making an alfredo version.

This Chicken Alfredo Monkey Bread starts out as any monkey bread does - with dough! I used biscuit dough here and then tossed that together with a homemade cauliflower alfredo sauce, cooked chicken, and some cheese!

The end result was this perfectly baked ooey gooey chicken alfredo monkey bread that was as tasty as it was fun to eat! This would be great paired with a side salad, but I just served it as it since there’s already a lot of veggie goodness packed into the cauliflower alfredo sauce.

As an aside, you could really use any alfredo sauce you wanted, pre-made, homemade, etc. But, I’d suggest the homemade cauliflower version since it’s super easy to make and sneaks some veggies in there too!

Pumpkin Alfredo Lasagna

This post has been compensated by Premio. As always, all opinions are mine alone.

I’ve got three little words. …Pumpkin. Alfredo. Lasagna. Okay, maybe they’re BIG words. The point is though, they go great together. I’ve had this thought in my head for a while now, so when I got my hands on Premio Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage I knew exactly what I was going to do with it!

This pumpkin Alfredo lasagna is not your average lasagna. It’s layer upon layer of noodle, pumpkin puree, cheese, spices, Alfredo, spinach more cheese, and YES Premio Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage…

Skinny Chicken Alfredo Dip

October 9, 2018 Amanda Plott
alfredo-dip11.jpg

It was a lazy and rainy day yesterday, and after a long 'Fall break’ weekend that was filled with plenty of fun and excitement, it was a good day to rest. I’m honestly not sure I even got out of my pajamas, and neither did my daughter. Yep, that’s just how lazy we were. This Skinny Chicken Alfredo Dip was a perfect rainy day snacky sort of dinner.

Like I said, we were being uber lazy. So cheesy chicken dip for dinner just sounded like it fit. No guilt here though! This Alfredo dip is just about as guilt-free as an Alfredo anything can be. It’s low-carb, delicious, and actually surprisingly easy to make - even from scratch!…

Butternut Squash Alfredo

January 30, 2018 Amanda Plott

I love pasta every bit as the next girl. But, there's always something about it that leaves me feeling a wee bit guilty. Maybe it's something to do with the fact that most pasta dishes are loaded with carbs and not usually the most veggie-forward meal option.

Now, I've made a skinny alfredo before that was loaded up with hidden veggies but I got my hands on a local butternut squash that needed some attention. That's when I decided to go ahead and make another version of 'alfredo' using my winter squash. And let's be honest. Today I'm using the term 'aflredo' pretty lightly...
