Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake

December 13, 2017 Amanda Plott

Can you believe that Christmas is almost here? And then after that, we're bringing in the New Year already? This year has flown by at times and at others has dragged along. It's been an interesting year here for me, and just like always, I'm happy and excited to see what the New Year brings.

Speaking of the New Year, that brings me straight around to resolutions! I can't say that I really make a staunch resolution, but I do like to challenge myself starting January 1st of every year to start eating even better. I know, that must sound like a strange thing for me to say, but even I could stand to eat better...

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Snyder’s-Lance, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #Pop4Captain http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

I'm always super excited around here for the release of movies. It's always been fun to have themed movie nights where I create dished inspired by the movie we're watching. One of the last movies we saw was 'Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie' at the drive in movie theater this summer. It was really such a fun kids movie. So, I thought with it about to be released that I would make a Captain Underpants themed treat!

Captain Underpants is perfect for family movie night. It's a film with a lot of heart. I love that the story explores the great friendship between Harold and George and their connection through a love of writing and creativity...

Easy Peanut Butter & Jelly Waffles

August 16, 2017 Amanda Plott

It never fails. Every year around back-to-school, I get stuck on the notion of PB&Js. In the past, I've made parfaits, oat bars, and even sandwich cookies in the theme of PB&J. This time thought, I wanted to put a spin on an old breakfast classic. The waffle!

Of course, speed and ease are a huge thing with back-to-school. Especially in those first couple of weeks when you're busy getting back into the routine and setting yourself and your kids up for a successful school year. It's a lot of work, mommas. I know it! That's why I wanted to make these Easy Peanut Butter & Jelly Waffles...

PB&J Oat Bars

September 1, 2016 Amanda Plott

So, there isn't much that makes me think of back-to-school and childhood other than the flavors of a good peanut butter and jelly. I've never felt inclined to limit PB&J to a mere sandwich though. In fact, one of my most favorite ways to enjoy peanut butter and jelly is in the form of a parfait. Seriously, it's good stuff. I'm a firm believer that you just can't go wrong when you mix the sweet and salty taste pf peanut butter with the tartness of fresh fruits.

Today I wanted to step outside the box even further to make these amazing PB&J Oat Bars. These would make for a perfect snack, an addition to a lunchbox, or even as breakfast; which is how I've been enjoying them all week long! Back-to-school as been crazy and this grab-and-go bar has been exactly what I needed. I've actually enjoyed them so much that I'm planning to make them again next week!...
