Crock Pot Japanese Onion Soup

October 1, 2022 Amanda Plott

We all know that soup that they serve at the hibachi style steak houses and how good it is for being something so simple. It’s one of the main things that my kiddo happens to look forward to when we go, so a lot of years back - way back in 2013, I decided to try my hand at making the soup at home and it was a success!

Not only that, but I also made it in the crock pot, which meant that I didn’t have to have almost any hands on time. It’s definitely one of those ‘set it and forget it’ sort of things which makes it perfect for serving up as a part of an asian themed dinner…

Healthified Restaurant Style Salsa

April 28, 2020 Amanda Plott

This is an old one, but a good one. This Blender Salsa is tried and true and was one of the very first recipes that I ever posted here way back in 2013! It’s been a good long time since I made this salsa, and being as I managed to get my hands on a bunch of canned tomatoes… and a lot of us are surviving on pantry staples, I thought there was no better time than now to make this Healthified Restaurant Style Salsa again.

Originally I came up with this Healthified Restaurant Style Salsa for a family member who wanted one similar to what you’ll find at a chain restaurant that’s known for it’s peppery name…

Skinny Chicken & Pumpkin Gnocchi Soup

September 20, 2013 Amanda Plott

It is raining here! Thank you Fall!

Nothing could have hit the spot better at lunch time than a nice warm bowl of one of my all time favorite soups.  It's a take-out fake-out sort of day...

I think the very first time I had gnocchi soup was at The Olive Garden. To make this soup I basically used a copy-cat recipe for the infamous one served up at the italian chain...

Healthified Mexican Pizza

March 20, 2013 Amanda Plott

It's pretty rare that I eat fast food. Really. Three times a year, maybe.

Generally, when I find myself craving the bad stuff... the root of such evil is Taco Bell.​ One of my favorite bad habits is the infamous 'Mexican Pizza', with a whopping 540 calories. Which... if you think about it... that's not too bad for a bite of fast food. There is definitely worse out there.​ But, that bad boy is full of mystery and controversy.

I think I'll make it myself, at home, for half the calories and with ingredients that I have control over.​..

Healthified Mighty Cone & Jalapeño Mango Slaw

March 9, 2013 Amanda Plott

If you've ever been to Austin or ever plan on visiting, you have no doubt heard of the famous Mighty Cone!​ It's an amazing little food truck located in downtown Austin that serves up hot'n'crunchy everything.

This past weekend when discussing a few new recipe ideas with my mom she said something along the lines of, 'Well if you can make a healthy version of a Mighty Cone you'll be the best cook ever!'​ Tada. Now... where is my 'Best Cook Ever' award mom? I'm waaaiting...
