May 24, 2021 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Dough Bites - These healthy treats are easy to make, taste JUST like a ball of cookie dough, and will satisfy your sweet tooth in a healthy way! The best.

These are one of my favorite things in the world. They are healthy, easy, and taste EXACTLY like a ball of cookie dough.

Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies with Mustard Sauce (dairy free, paleo)

May 10, 2021 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies with Mustard Sauce - This easy dinner comes together in no time but feels fancy and luxurious with the smooth, creamy mustard sauce! A huge weeknight win. Dairy free, paleo, whole 30.

Sheet pan dinners are a whole new level of dinner win for me. I love one pot dinners SO much, but sheet pan dinners are an even higher step towards dinner glory than one pot dinners because everything goes down in the oven where there is zero babysitting, AND I think sheet pans are easier to clean. Sometimes sheet pan dinners tend to be a little boring - roasted meat beside roasted veggies. I ...

2 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls

April 26, 2021 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

2 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls - These healthy treats are SO easy to make, only require 2 ingredients, and satiate that sweet tooth in the best way.

When we did our first round of Whole 30 years ago, I found out I was pregnant about half way through, and from the second I become pregnant to the second my babies are born, I crave sweets like NOBODY'S BUSINESS. But on Whole 30 you can't have sweets. We were at the grocery store one week, and I found these things called date rolls - only ingredients were unsweetened coconut and dates, which ...

My Life in Pictures

Hey internet friends! I have been so MIA since February, so I thought it would be fun to do a mini photo-dump from the past few months to give you a quick update on life (not that a whole lot has changed 🙂). But just to give you some insight into our life since February! Insight 1 👆🏻. Being outside. Since the weather has turned warm (THANK YOU LAWD), we have been outside as much as we possibly ...

Roasted Salmon with Mediterranean Salsa

April 19, 2021 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

Roasted Salmon with Mediterranean Salsa - Such an easy, healthy, hearty, and satisfying dinner that comes together in no time! The salmon is tender and juicy, the salsa is packed with unbelievable amounts of flavor - it'll be a new favorite for sure!

This salmon is one of my new all time favorite things to make. It's SO easy (the easiest way to make salmon ever - just pop it in the oven and "buy byeeeee" for fifteen minutes), the salsa on top is fresh and LOADED with flavor, and the whole thing is a healthy, hearty, satisfying week night meal! When I make this, I prep the salsa during nap time, and when it's dinner time, all I have to do is ...

Easy One Pot Coconut Basil Chicken

February 1, 2021 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Easy, One Pot Coconut Basil Chicken - This SUPER EASY dinner is absolutely delicious over cauliflower rice or any grain. The delicious, aromatic sauce soaks into whatever you serve it over, and it is too good for words! TheGarlicDiaries.com

This eight ingredient dinner (not including whatever you serve it over) is not only incredibly easy to make, it is LOADED with flavor thanks to the garlic, shallot, ginger, lime zest, basil, and coconut milk. All of that goodness simmers together just until the chicken is cooked through, and it is pure heaven! Since we were just doing whole 30, I served this with cauliflower rice, but I've made ...

Whole 30 Bolognese with Dairy Free “Ricotta”

January 7, 2021 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Whole 30 Bolognese with Dairy Free "Ricotta" - talk about some satisfying comfort food, this bolognese is deeply flavorful, hearty, and so comforting folded into a bowl of noodles, zoodles, or spaghetti squash!

This low and slow, simple ingredient, HUG IN A BOWL will make your whole week warm and cozy. I'm not sure there's a more delicious pasta sauce than a bolognese. It's full of flavor-rich ingredients, and it simmers for two hours (or three, if you want), allowing those flavors to deepen and intensify even more. Toss this goodness with some zoodles or spaghetti squash (or regular noodles if you ...

Quality Time Schedule For Couples

December 30, 2020 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Quality Time Schedule for Couples - Prioritize your quality time with your partner instead of scrolling through social media and realizing it's almost time to go to bed! This downloadable, printable schedule will give you varied, intentional quality time ideas for every week night!

Let me paint you a little picture here of an average evening - I've been spending the day with a pack of adorable, tiny humans, we get them all tucked in to bed, shut their doors, and breathe a lovely sigh of success for wrapping up another day with them. Maybe it was life-givingly awesome, maybe it was a giant dumpster fire, maybe it was a constantly fluctuating mix of both (almost always), but ...
