Skinny No Bake Cookies

June 15, 2021 Amanda Plott

Remember those delicious no bake cookies from your childhood? I sure do! They were something that my mom and I would make on occasion, especially for sleep overs since they’re an easy and tasty recipe that kids can help make. …And getting to eat and enjoy the end result is always enticing!

Did I mention that it’s getting hot here in Texas and that these cookies requite NO BAKING? That’s right. Just a few minutes of the stove being on, but not the oven. Another good thing about these cookies and the heat of summer is that you can store them in the fridge to have nice cold chewy cookies ready to snack on…

Chunky Monkey Blended & Baked Oatmeal

June 3, 2021 Amanda Plott

So, you know that famous ice cream flavor that we all know and love? Yeah, I sort of turned that into one of the best oatmeals I’ve ever eaten. And if you aren’t a fan of oatmeal - this might be just the right recipe to get you turned onto it! Blending up the oats into more of a powder takes away that oat texture but you still get all the health benefits.

This Chunky Monkey Blended & Baked Oatmeal ends up being vegetarian and gluten free. The oats and banana are pureed together before chocolate and walnuts are stirred in. It’s all baked up together to make two servings of a delicious ice cream inspired treat….

There is just ONE month left to school and then my kiddo is out for summer. And what says summer more than some S’mores?! This S’mores inspired monkey bread has all the delicious flavors of a S’more baked right in. that’s right this S'mores Monkey Bread has grahams, chocolate, AND marshmallow goodness all up in it.

One of the best parts, is that this monkey bread is quick and easy to make and it’s one of those things that both kids AND adults can enjoy. The dough here is tossed in a graham/sweetener mixture and then piled into a bundt pan with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. Perfect for weekend breakfast or brunch!…

Blondies + Maple Cream Cheese Sauce

April 26, 2021 Amanda Plott

It was my brother’s birthday celebration this past weekend, and it sure was a lot different from how it was last year for sooo many reasons. Thankfully vaccinations are in place and we got to celebrate together once again! In lieu of a cake though, my brother wanted blondies this year which I am totally down for! Don’t get me wrong, I love cake as much as the next girl, but there’s something to be said about a good blondie.

These blondies are my healthified take on the ones that you’ll find at one of those chain restaurants. It was always my most favorite dessert there. What with the warm blondie with white chocolate chips, some vanilla ice cream, and that AMAZING maple cream cheese sauce on top. Mmmm…

S'more Cookie Cups

April 20, 2021 Amanda Plott

The weather here in Texas has been pretty amazing lately. Despite all the allergens and pollen in the air right now, the temperature is perfection. Everything is alive, plush, green, and coming back to life after a rather harsh winter. Whenever the weather starts to turn this amazing, I always start thinking about camping, even though I’m not the best camper.

What goes better with camping than S’mores? These S'more Cookie Cups are a definite upgrade from traditional s’mores though. They’re less messy and just as delicious! Plus, you can make up a whole batch of 24 of them all at once, rather than making one s’more at a time…

S'more Brownies

So, this is probably one of the best desserts in the world. With two of my favorites desserts combined together into one ultimate dessert. How can you go wrong? If you love s’mores and if you love brownies, then there is no way that you won’t love these S'more Brownies even more!

The bottom layer is a lightly sweet and buttery graham cracker crust that sandwiches gooey-gooey brownie with chocolate chunks with toasty toasted marshmallows on top. So much yummy goodness all in one bite. It’s heaven in the form of a brownie, I tell you…
