Chicken Alfredo Monkey Bread

November 10, 2021 Amanda Plott

I’ve been playing around with savory versions of monkey bread a lot over the last year or so. There’s just something fun about monkey bread, maybe it’s the fact that it’s a finger food or maybe it’s that it’s just a really good base for just about any meal. Breakfast or otherwise. Being as I’ve made a Pizza Monkey Bread before, I thought why not try my hand at making an alfredo version.

This Chicken Alfredo Monkey Bread starts out as any monkey bread does - with dough! I used biscuit dough here and then tossed that together with a homemade cauliflower alfredo sauce, cooked chicken, and some cheese!

The end result was this perfectly baked ooey gooey chicken alfredo monkey bread that was as tasty as it was fun to eat! This would be great paired with a side salad, but I just served it as it since there’s already a lot of veggie goodness packed into the cauliflower alfredo sauce.

As an aside, you could really use any alfredo sauce you wanted, pre-made, homemade, etc. But, I’d suggest the homemade cauliflower version since it’s super easy to make and sneaks some veggies in there too!

Chicken & Sweet Potato Curry

November 4, 2021 Amanda Plott

I’ve made a handful of unique dishes over the years that make for a fun pumpkin/fall twist on classic recipes. This Chicken & Sweet Potato Curry is one of them! One of my favorite Fall inspired recipes is this Pumpkin Ramen from a few years back, which reminds me that I need to make it again this year since I haven’t yet. But this Chicken & Sweet Potato Curry is not only good, but it’s healthy AND perfectly festive as the weather starts to cool off.

Nothing will warm you up quicker than a warm meal that’s also full of warm flavors! I’ve always loved the mix of pumpkin and curry. Curry already tends to have warmth from curry powder and cayenne, which as it turns out, both pair super well with pumpkin…

Pizza Waffles

October 13, 2021 Amanda Plott

If you haven’t noticed by now, I sort of like to put foods that I love together to make something completely new. These Pizza Waffles are just one of those things! I picked up a waffle maker a few months back now after a good year or two of my old one having give up the ghost. So, I’ve been having a lot of fun with playing around with the new one.

These Pizza Waffles are super easy to make and delish! I used some puff pastry sheets as the dough, since we’re filling these waffles with the pizza goodness. Sauce, cheese, and your favorite pizza toppings are tolled up in the puff pastry and then cooked on the waffle iron. No batter needed!…

Brain Meatloaf

October 3, 2021 Amanda Plott

I’ve taken my classic meatloaf recipe and molded it into the shape of a brain for a fun Halloween inspired twist. My meatloaf is made with plenty of vegetables loaded into it, onion, bell pepper, and zucchini too! So it’s healthified and lightened up while still being scary good.

Usually meatloaf is made with ketchup, but I decided to use tomato sauce and tomato paste along with salt and pepper to lower the amount of sugar and also to be able to control the level of salt. It’s a good little swap that doesn’t effect the taste or texture and gives you a lot more bang for your buck!

Baked Buffalo Chicken Taquitos

September 27, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s tailgating season and sometimes that means you need nothing more than some good buffalo chicken something or another. These Baked Buffalo Chicken Taquitos are loaded with nothing more than that. Buffalo chicken goodness warmed up with some cheese, hot wing sauce, and not much else.

I’ve made my fair share of buffalo chicken things in the past, but these taquitos have to be one of my favorite buffalo chicken bites. They’re super simple to make, and absolutely delish. Plus, you get to make them as mild or spicy as you want!…

Chili Cheese Tater Tot Casserole

September 9, 2021 Amanda Plott

Dinner is served! With my daughter being in cheerleading this year, there’s at least one day a week where we are rushing out the door between picking up from school, changing, and getting back up to the school. Oh, and somewhere in between that is dinner. That’s where this Chili Cheese Tater Tot Casserole comes into play.

This delicious casserole is not only quick to make, it’s also easy and only requires four ingredients. One of the best parts is that you can make it ahead of time and reheat later OR put the casserole together and store it in the fridge until ready for the final bake to enjoy. Either way, it’s super convenient!…
