Skinny Meatloaf & Mash (Instant Pot Dinner)

September 7, 2019 Amanda Plott

A one pot meal, in the Instant Pot, for under 350 calories? Yep! You got it dude. This lightened-up meatloaf AND mash is made in the Instant Pot in just 25 minutes. And you know what? I think I may just stick to cooking my meatloaf in the Instant Pot from this day forward. It’s quick and easy to do, plus it locks in all the moisture and juices so you don’t run the risk of ending up with a dried out meatloaf for dinner!

The mash and the meatloaf are both cooked in the Instant Pot together at the same time. Leaving you with a pretty hands-off dinner that everyone is sure to enjoy…

Spooky 'Monster' Tacos

September 20, 2018 Amanda Plott

Cooler weather is coming… Halloween is coming! And being as it is my most favorite holiday, I’ve got to have some fun with it. I’ll be honest in saying that these are my standard, average, run-of-the-mill tacos that I make using extra lean ground beef and just a few other notable swaps along the way.

This time of year though? I like to make them a little spooky! With a few dollops of Greek yogurt, plain Jane tacos turn into MONSTER tacos! Mauahahaha. I’m so in love with Halloween that I made these tacos whilst in the middle of a horrible back spasm. Tacos are awesome as they are. But, cute tacos always win.

Healthified Huevos Rancheros

I'm a Texas girl, and with that comes lots and lots of Tex-Mex, and not just for dinner either. Breakfast, brunch, lunch... doesn't matter the time of day, there's always a good excuse for Tex-Mex! One of my most recent favorites for breakfast or brunch is a healthier take on an older classic, Huevos Rancheros!

Don't know what Huevos Rancheros is? You poor thing!

Huevos Rancheros (rancher's eggs) is a pretty basic dish, usually consisting of fried eggs over a lightly fried tortilla and served with beans, salsa, and avocado in some form or another. Everything is generally topped off with a traditional tomato-chili sauce otherwise known as 'ranchero' sauce...
