Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers

May 1, 2023 Amanda Plott

These Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers are where it’s at! They’re low carb and gluten free while being absolutely delicious and easy to make too. If you love buffalo chicken, then these are the stuffed peppers for you. I served mine with a side of celery and carrots with some light blue cheese dip, but it would also be good with some rice or even a side salad.

I lightened these peppers up by swapping in some greek yogurt and light blue cheese dressing in place of mayo and sour cream. I also used reduced fat cheeses and boneless skinless chicken breast that I cooked up in my instant pot and shredded myself. But, store bought or left over chicken will work too!…

Greek Chickpea Salad

March 24, 2021 Amanda Plott

With warmer weather starting to roll in, I’m craving fresh bright flavors more and more. And this Greek Chickpea Salad is as fresh and bright as one can get. It’s a garbanzo bean based vegetarian ‘salad’ that’s mixed together with bell peppers, onion, feta cheese, and a homemade easy to make vinaigrette dressing.

This dish ends up being naturally meatless, vegetarian, and gluten free too. Plus, there’s under 300 calories in a full serving so you really can’t go wrong with it whether it’s for lunch, snack, or as a side for dinner!…

Denver Omelette Egg Bites

November 23, 2018 Amanda Plott

It’s been a good long time since I posted an ‘egg bite’ recipe, so I figured it was about due again by now. If you don’t know what egg bites at this point, you definitely should. Egg bites were made rather famous by the coffee giant Starbucks. I’ve made a few different recipe variations.

They’re one of my most favorite breakfast (or brunch) options. Easy to make, delicious, and completely versatile! Today though, I had Denver omelettes on my mind. What’s in a Denver omelette though? Onions, bell peppers, mushrooms and ham…

Lightened Up Chicken Spaghetti

November 5, 2018 Amanda Plott

I think Chicken Spaghetti is a classic that almost all of us enjoy at one point or another in our childhood. While my mom claims to have made it a few times when I was a kid, I mostly remember trying it for the first time at my grandma’s house. Even though my grandma was the cook of the family, I’m still not sure if it was her or one of my aunts that made the chicken spaghetti.

If you are one of the unlucky few that never had chicken spaghetti, well you’re in for a treat today. Chicken Spaghetti is… pretty much what it sounds like. Chicken + spaghetti noodles. It’s not like classic spaghetti though. There’s no tomato spaghetti sauce involved here. Oh, no. No, no, no…

Low-Carb Chili (Keto-Friendly!)

June 19, 2018 Amanda Plott

There's a great debate somewhere out there in this world of ours on whether chili should have beans in it or not. Is it 'technically' chili with or without beans? {Shrug} Who knows? ...Now, being a native Texan... I've got my own opinions on the matter. And I can honestly say that any chili I've ever been served before has always had beans in it.

But, that doesn't mean that I'm not open to a bean-less version! In fact, these days... it's all about those low-carbs it seems. So when deciding to make my take on my mom's Chili Con Carne for our camp themed week this summer, I thought I'd try my hand at taking all those beans out and instead filling it full of more veggies and protein…
