'Tortilla Trend' Omelette

May 13, 2022 Amanda Plott

There’s this trend going around right now called the ‘Tortilla Trend’ where you take a tortilla and cut it halfway through the middle and then proceed to fill each quarter segment of it with different things and then fold it over on itself to make a tasty wrap. I decided to take that idea and make into more of an omelette with some of my favorite breakfast burrito fillings.

This 'Tortilla Trend' Omelette is pretty easy to make though it does take a little bit of know-how and a gentle hand when it comes to the folding it over, but outside of that this is just as easy as any standard omelette to make!…

Lightened Up Lazy Enchiladas

April 28, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s definitely that time of year where Summer is lingering on the horizon and we’ve all got to dig deep to try and push forward through the rest of the school year and into Summer break. Most years, I’m not quite ready for the hot 100 degree days and three months of blistering sunshine, but this year I am all in. I. Can’t. Wait. That being said, I still have things to do!

That’s where quick weeknight meals and easy dinner options come into play, like these Lightened Up Lazy Enchiladas! They are so easy to make and delish too. So what’s a lazy enchilada anyway? Well, there’s no tortillas involved. It’s basically a casserole that you make with tortilla chips, sauce, meat, and veggies. No rolling involved….

Southwest Cobb Salad in a Jar

April 25, 2022 Amanda Plott

This is one spiced up salad! I’ve created it in such a way that it is perfect for being a jar salad; layered so that it stays fresh for 3-5 days in the fridge and is great to have on hand for a grab-and-go lunch that you can also enjoy on the go or not!

The whole idea for this salad is to layer it in such a way that it can sit stored in the fridge for a few days and is completely ready to eat as soon as you are. Everything is all included, even the dressing. The trick to it is the layering. All the wet stuff on the bottom and the dry stuff on top. Clever, right?…

Skinny Stuffed Mushrooms

April 10, 2022 Amanda Plott

I for one, love appetizers. I could make a meal alone out of small appetizers, both hot and cold. One of my favorites though, has to be stuffed mushrooms. My love of stuffed mushrooms goes back several years where I think my first try was at a little Italian restaurant.

I immediately, and without being much of a cook at the time, taught myself how to make them. Skip forward to today and I like to make them with a few minor changes to the original easy recipe that included cream cheese, bacon, and just a touch of Italian cheese. I mean, who doesn’t just love the combination of cheese, mushrooms, and bacon? You’d be crazy not to!…

Hash Brown Sheet Pan Breakfast

March 17, 2022 Amanda Plott

Breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day, so I’m always looking for inspiration and trying new things. I saw this idea for a sheet pan breakfast and just knew I was going to have to healthify it and give it a try! Boy, am I glad that I did. This Hash Brown Sheet Pan Breakfast is a super easy and delicious way to start the day.

The hash browns crisp up perfectly with the addition of the cheese on top. And then the bacon. …Did I mention the eggs? I would have liked my own yolks to have come out just a little more runny, but all in all I was super happy with the end result of this sheet pan breakfast!…

Reuben Stuffed Potato Skins

March 5, 2022 Amanda Plott

With St. Patricks Day just around the corner, and a pantry full of potatoes that need to reused up relatively soon, I decided to make some reuben inspired potato skins. These Reuben Stuffed Potato Skins take some of the standard parts of a reuben and stuffs them into potato skins that are hearty and filling.

These potatoes start out being turned into shells with the potato scooped out and mixed with some dressing and then seasoned. After that they’re topped off with kraut, corned beef, and of course some cheese! They’re then baked to perfection and ready to eat in just a few minutes…
