Greek Spinach & Feta Veggie Patties

February 21, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s meatless. It’s Monday. It’s a meatless Monday! These Greek Spinach & Feta Veggie Patties are as tricky and as tasty as they come. I made these patties with a vegetarian ground plant-based ‘meat’ which looks like, tastes like, and cooks up just like ground beef. I loaded these quarter pound patties up with spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and of course some feta cheese to give a little bit of a Greek or Mediterranean twist.

And let me just tell you, they are so sooo good and end up being perfect on their own or as burgers! This time I decided to serve them up all on their own with some roasted veggies for a well rounded meatless, guilt-free, and delicious dinner…

Garlic Parmesan Air Fried Chickpeas

Looking for a tasty sticky-snack that’s quick and easy to make? Well, look no further. These Garlic Parmesan Air Fried Chickpeas are perfect to have on hand. They’re gluten free and vegetarian too! Plus they take hardly any effort to make and have a big bold POP of flavor. The air fryer perfectly cooks them up so that they’re just a little soft on the inside and have a crispy cheese crunch on the outside.

For these Garlic Parmesan Air Fried Chickpeas, I used my own homemade seasoning blend and some parmesan cheese. Yep, really that’s all you need to make these other than a little bit of oil. Just 4 ingredients to a healthy snack that anyone can enjoy…

McGriddle Breakfast Casserole

February 6, 2022 Amanda Plott

Sometimes you just have to turn your guilty pleasures into guiltless pleasures. And while I haven’t had a McGriddle sandwich since way back from when they very first made their debut, I can appreciate the mix of sweet and savory in the form of a breakfast sandwich. So when I came across the idea for this McGriddle Breakfast Casserole, I knew I wanted to put my own twist on it.

This casserole is a whole wheat pancake batter base that’s sweetened up with some vanilla, a touch of brown sugar, and some syrup too. I decided to go with a vegetarian breakfast sausage rather than a traditional breakfast sausage or a turkey breakfast sausage just because it’s plant based and I also had some on hand to use up!…

Pecan Upside Down Cake

This tasty upside down cake has been winterized for your pleasure! That’s right, I’ve taken a classic upside down cake and made it into something that’s more festive to the season with ooey gooey pecan topping! This Pecan Upside Down Cake is super easy to make with most of the ingredients being pantry staples and it’s perfect not only for dessert, but also as a sweet option for breakfast or brunch.

This cake is the perfect mix of a pecan pie and an upside down cake. All of the pecan crunch and goo paired with a simple cake mix. I prefer this to be served warm and straight away with some homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream…

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pie Spice Waffles

September 3, 2021 Amanda Plott

I'm so ready to get below 90 degrees F. for the first time this season. It's time for the end of summer now as as I’m concerned. One of my favorite things about fall has to be pumpkin. Pumpkin this, pumpkin that, pumpkin everything!

Today I'm hoping to entice the start of fall with these lovely whole wheat pumpkin pie spice waffles, and man... they are truly something worth waking up for. They are full of pumpkin flavor and the added warm spices that go along with a traditional pumpkin pie. These aren't your average waffles either, they are huge, fluffy, soft on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside; pumpkin perfection…

Cornbread Waffles

Sometimes playing with your food is just the right thing to do. As it turns out, making cornbread into the shape of waffles is a fun and interesting way to serve your cornbread. Especially when it comes to serving it with chili or a hearty bean soup!

And when I say these waffles are merely cornbread, I do mean it! I got a new waffle iron this past week and I decided to test it out with some waffle recipes that aren’t traditional waffles. With some chili stocked away in the freezer, I thought it would be fun to make some cornbread waffles to go with it. Sounds good, right?…
