Cheesy Cauliflower Pizza Casserole

January 1, 2023 Amanda Plott

Happy New Year! We’re kicking 2023 off with a twist on an American staple - pizza! Yes, you can have your pizza and eat it too. This Cheesy Cauliflower Pizza Casserole is the best of both the world of pizza and the world of eating better. It’s cheesy, saucy, easy to make, and delicious too! Another good part is that you don’t need many ingredients to make this casserole either.

You can also customize this casserole to suit your specific pizza tastes. I went with turkey pepperoni since it’s just as good as any pepperoni but has fewer calories, but you could also go with jalapeño, olives, sausage, etc…

Healthified Chicken & Mash Bowl

August 8, 2022 Amanda Plott

Okay, so there's this fried chicken chain restaurant that honestly I couldn't tell you the last time I ate at. They have these horribly amazing 'famous bowls' that I used to get back when I was younger and more naive when it came to food.

Fast-forward to today and I don't think that I could stomach sitting in that restaurants parking lot, much less eating anything that came out of it. Never mind that particular 'famous bowl' is nearly a whopping 800 calories and full of who-knows-what.

Even so, I decided to take on the task of re-creating that chicken bowl into one that I could eat and be proud of without feeling guilty...

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!

Air-Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

January 15, 2020 Amanda Plott
buffalo-cauliflower11.jpg

Game day is getting closer and closer and I’m over here getting ready with some of my favorite kinds of food; game day bites! I am SO excited to share these Air-Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Wings. I have tried more than a few times in the past to make CRISPY buffalo cauliflower, but for one reason or another it has never, NOT ONCE, turned out well for me.

Finally, I’ve cracked the code with the use of a new handy dandy kitchen gadget called… the air-fryer! I never had any intention of having a fryer of any kind in my home, but then the air-fryer became a thing and well… that all changed…
