Bacon Queso Baked Pumpkin

September 30, 2021 Amanda Plott

Look. I don’t know. I have a problem with queso. It’s just the perfect and most ultimate food in my personal opinion. And this Bacon Queso Baked Pumpkin is Fall perfection. It’s as easy as taking a small pumpkin, hollowing it out, and backing your queso inside it for a fun and festive way to get your queso on.

And… everything in moderation, right? This Bacon Queso Baked Pumpkin is the most amazing way to save queso in the Fall season. It’s visually appealing, and I mean… how do you even go wrong with queso anyway? If it’s wrong, I don’t want to be right…

Looking for a quick dinner idea? Look no further! This Queso Chicken Bake is here just for you! And when I say queso, I do mean queso! Just look at his cheesy an delicious this chicken is! I should note too, it doesn’t get more simple to easy than this toss and bake recipe either. with just 5 ingredients, you can have dinner tossed together and ready to go in no time at all!

Being as this dish is so simple and has so few ingredients, there isn’t much to change here other than to swap some of the things out for ‘no salt added’ or ‘low sodium’ options. This way you can season it yourself to your own liking. Which I almost guarantee is less salt overall…

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…

Homemade Skinny Nacho Cheese

March 29, 2016 Amanda Plott

Cheese is my Achilles' heel, there is no question about that. I've come to the conclusion that it is one thing that I am unwilling and unable to rid from my diet. I honestly think that if it were an option, I would live on the stuff.

Being a Texas girl and spending my fair share of time in San Antonio, I've come to know many a Tex-Mex. One could even go so far as to call me a Tex-Mex aficionado. A connoisseur of the Americanize and Texified variations of Mexican style foods. And as such, I know over the years that I've eaten my weight in nachos and nacho cheese.

So, today I decided to take some steps in lightening up and homemaking this classic nacho cheese sauce that we all know and love. Drool...

This post was brought to you by Collective Bias, Inc. and it's advertiser. I received compensation to write this post … but, all opinions expressed are my own. #JustAddRotel #CollectiveBias 

Before I even get started, I should mention that there is a RO*TEL Coupon deal that ends April 6th (while supplies last.) Be sure that you get yours today to use on this amazing game day recipe. 

I'm a Texas girl, so RO*TEL is just sort of a part of weekly life here. Whether it's to be used in queso, guacamole, or in something else all together. Today I'm using RO*TEL in a more non-traditional manner and actually incorporating it into a recipe to feed a crowd; a game day crowd that is! 

Basket ball playoff games, as well as any other game day in Texas usually consists of lots and lots of appetizer style figner-foods, and today is no different! I'm whipping up some easy Tex-Mex chicken taquitos by using RO*TEL to spice up one of my favorite game day recipes. 

Like I said, don't forget to get this RO*TEL Coupon deal while you can! The coupon expires April 6th. Right now, you can buy 3 and get 1 free! Since it expires soon, download it quickly and use it today at Walmart to get your RO*TEL for your game day grub!...
