Loaded Wedge Salad

August 2, 2024 Amanda Plott

Wedge Salads are a classic, a traditional starter or appetizer that you will find commonly on just about anyone's dinner table. After making my Healthified Gorgonzola Port 'Blue Cheese' Cheese Dressing a few weeks back, I knew that it would be the perfect dressing for a wedge salad. Not just any wedge salad though. I wanted one that was loaded. Fully. With all of the fun naughty bits.

I'm talking bacon, egg, cheese, and of course... tomatoes. This is the wedge salad of my dreams and that homemade dressing is an absolute must! It took me a few good years and a lot of trial and error to get the most amazing healthified blue cheese dressing recipe that you'll come across...

Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats

September 17, 2019 Amanda Plott

One of my favorite things about summer produce? Zucchini and summer squash is aplenty and HUGE. When I come across the giant squash at the store, it’s pretty hard, and damn near impossible for me to pass them up. That’s why you’ll see ALL the zucchini and squash recipes that you could ever want in the summer season.

As summer comes to a close, and the squash are dwindling, I decided to give another good zucchini inspired recipe. With some cooked chicken on hand, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats!…

Healthified Gorgonzola Port 'Blue Cheese' Dressing

February 27, 2018 Amanda Plott

I've been trying for years now to create a perfect blue cheese dressing/dip. I think that I've gone through a good ten different recipe variations by now, and none of them have really stuck. None of them were to the level that I wanted. None of them impressed me... until now.
