Irish Pub Skewers

March 1, 2020 Amanda Plott
irish-skewers3.jpg

It’s the first day of March and St. Patrick’s Day is coming up quickly! These Irish Pub Skewers are super simple and easy to make. In this house, we love finger foods, and these small bites with an Irish nod to them are perfect for entertaining around St. Patrick’s Day.

These little bites start out with a piece of corned beef and are put together with some Irish cheddar, a pickle, and some Brussel sprouts to end it. They are great for dipping and dunking into a mustard or even thousand island style of dressing…

Air Fryer Fried Pickles

February 19, 2020 Amanda Plott

Fried pickles… need I say more? One of my favorite things to enjoy at the local theater is their fried pickles. Nice sized spears that are perfectly crisp on the outside and hot as hell and juice on the inside. Perfect for dipping into some ranch on the side while watching a movie.

I’ve tried my hand at faux fried pickles, by way of baking before. And while they pickles turned out pretty good, they were still missing a bit of that crunch factor. …As most faux fried things tend too. So, now that there’s an air fryer in the house I thought it was the perfect time to air fry some pickles!…

It’s finally here. We’re down to the finally 7 days before school lets out for the summer for my kiddo and I honestly thing that at this point, I’m more excited than she is. I just want to get through the next few days and have the freedom of summer ahead of us. That being said, I’m also in the throes of getting beach-bum ready. And that means watching what I’m eating and doing all the more.

With my focus on all that, and summer being the season of snacks around here, I decided to make some fun Burger Bites! These Burger Bites are so good too. Perfect for a snack sort of light summer friendly meal or quick appetizer. They start out with a burger meatball paired with all the burger classics; tomato, lettuce, pickle, cheese, and of course a tater tot!…

Old-Fashioned Southern Lunch Box

April 2, 2019 Amanda Plott
southern-lunch-box6.jpg

I’ve still been giving a lot of thought to lunches lately. Mostly because it’s a meal that’s pretty easy for me to skip out on. Which is never a good thing. Plus, my mom has needed some fun lunch ideas, so it just seemed to work out perfectly. Originally, I had thoughts of doing an ‘all American’ style lunch box but pimento cheese was being craved so… here we are.

I’m calling this an old-fashioned southern lunch box because when I was little, I remember my grandmother making me pimento cheese sandwiches on wonder bread. Served with a pickle and maybe some plain-jane potato chips. So this is a nod to that!…

I tell you, summer is not going to go down without a fight this year. It's been well over 100 degrees here in Austin, Texas and so far we're still hovering in the upper 90's and often with a heat index of 106+ - yikes! It's hot, but nothing is quite as hot as this Quarter Pounder Burger Salad. 

Let's face it, we all know what a 'quarter pounder' is. We don't even need to add the 'burger' part to that phrase and we'll all understand what's being spoken about. A quarter pound patty that's got lettuce, tomato, pickles, maybe some onion, and of course special sauce!

While it's unimaginably hot outside and football season is officially kicked off, I decided the best thing to do was to cool off with a nice hearty salad ahead of any big game tailgating (or homegating.)…

We're almost to the middle of the week, and if you're anything like me the craziness is only just starting to settle in! I know that it can sometimes be a struggle to make the right decisions for a more wholesome dinner option when in the chaos of the week. That's why I like to plan ahead with my weekly menu planner and shopping list. Another thing I do is keep my pantry and fridge stocked with staples that I know, love, and trust.

With the big game still on my mind from this past weekend, my mind has been stuck in fun mode. That's always a good thing when feeding the family! Especially the little ones. One thing that my daughter loves the most (eating it anywhere from 1-3 times a week) has to be pizza. And one of my favorite things? Burgers! So, I decided to merge the two together today into one perfectly awesome and tasty fusion dinner...
