Sun-Dried Tomato Egg & Stracciatella Bake

July 9, 2025 Amanda Plott

If you thought egg bakes were just the tired go-to for weekend brunches, think again. Meet the Sun-Dried Tomato Egg & Stracciatella Bake — a vibrant, flavor-packed, and guilt-free dish that’s about to become your new favorite way to wake up. It's like your classic egg casserole got a vitamin boost from the Mediterranean and a creamy twist from heavenly stracciatella cheese.

Why This Bake Rocks Your Healthy Brunch World

First off, this isn’t your average egg dish. Sun-dried tomatoes bring a punch of concentrated umami and tang, amping up the flavor without the need for crazy amounts of salt or butter. They’re practically flavor bombs disguised as innocent little tomatoes.

Then there’s the star ingredient: stracciatella. This creamy, stretchy cheese is like mozzarella’s cool cousin who took a detour to Creamy-ville. It melts into ooey-gooey pockets of pure bliss, making this bake irresistibly gooey, without needing to drown the dish in heavy cream or cheese overload.

And let’s talk eggs. Protein-packed and versatile, eggs keep you fueled for hours while staying light enough that you don’t end the meal feeling like you just ate a brick…

Sloppy Olives

July 5, 2025 Amanda Plott

If you think olives are just olives, prepare to have your mind—and your taste buds—blown. Enter Sloppy Olives, a vibrant, salty, and slightly spicy bite-sized flavor bomb inspired by the classic Italian puttanesca sauce. So grab your olive jar and get ready to amp up your snack game with this delightful twist.

What Are Sloppy Olives?

Think of Puttanesca sauce: tangy tomatoes, briny capers, pungent garlic, fiery chili flakes, and plenty of black olives all mingled together. Now imagine bottling that flavor explosion directly into olives themselves. Sloppy Olives are marinated olives that soak in the essence of this sauce, infusing the olives with layers of savory complexity and a little kick.

They’re the perfect marriage of brine and boldness, punchy enough to elevate salads, pasta, or your cheese board, but pliable enough to sneak into everyday meals for a savory boost…

Honey Lime Dressing

July 1, 2025 Amanda Plott

If salads had superpowers, Honey Lime Dressing would be their secret weapon. This dressing perfectly balances the zingy tartness of lime with the mellow sweetness of honey, creating a flavor profile that’s bright, refreshing, and downright addictive. Whether drizzled over a bed of fresh greens, tossed with grilled chicken, or even as a dip for roasted veggies, this dressing takes your healthy meals from “meh” to “heck yeah!”

Why Honey and Lime?

Lime juice isn’t just a tangy taste explosion; it’s loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants. Honey, on the other hand, lends natural sweetness plus antibacterial properties without the sugar crash of refined sweeteners. The duo makes for a guilt-free dressing that’s as good for your body as it is for your taste buds…
