Healthified Egg McMuffin

January 10, 2025 Amanda Plott

This recipe is old. Ooooold. Like, way back from the first six months or so of The Skinny Fork being around. That being said, I really wanted to go back and revisit it since things are always changing. A bit of a facelift and an update were well overdue.

I'm trying desperately to keep all the meals crazy simple this week since it was the first few days back from winter break for my kiddo at school. That's why I knew this was the perfect time to cook up some more of these Healthified Egg McMuffins!…

Loaded Wedge Salad

August 2, 2024 Amanda Plott

Wedge Salads are a classic, a traditional starter or appetizer that you will find commonly on just about anyone's dinner table. After making my Healthified Gorgonzola Port 'Blue Cheese' Cheese Dressing a few weeks back, I knew that it would be the perfect dressing for a wedge salad. Not just any wedge salad though. I wanted one that was loaded. Fully. With all of the fun naughty bits.

I'm talking bacon, egg, cheese, and of course... tomatoes. This is the wedge salad of my dreams and that homemade dressing is an absolute must! It took me a few good years and a lot of trial and error to get the most amazing healthified blue cheese dressing recipe that you'll come across...
