Mongolian Beef Meatballs

April 17, 2020 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Mongolian Beef Meatballs - Just like the classic takeout dish, but in a fun new form: meatballs! Saucy, tender, and SO flavorful! Delicious served over rice! TheGarlicDiaries.com

This is one of those dinners that's fun and a little bit whimsical. Turning meatballs into things that are usually other things is just fun! Do you know what I mean when I say that? Things like buffalo chicken meatballs. Aaaaand after sitting here for five minutes, that's the only example I can think of, but the point is...you can do a lot of fun things with meatballs! Blaming my lack of examples ...

Creamy Tuscan Chicken (Dairy Free)

April 15, 2020 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

30 Minute Creamy Tuscan Chicken (Dairy Free) - This is one of my all time favorite meals! Comes together in no time, easy to make, and SO creamy and flavorful - you’d never guess it was dairy free! TheGarlicDiaries.com

I think this is officially my favorite meal right now. Like if I could choose one thing to eat for a birthday dinner, it would be this. That's how obsessed I am with this recipe. You guys don't even know, and pregnancy with its lovely cravings probably doesn't help, but I've wanted this EVERY DAY. I ate it for dinner last week and then made it again for lunch the very next day. That's how much ...

Instant Pot Mojo Pork

April 9, 2020 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Instant Pot Mojo Pork! This delicious Instant Pot recipe is easy to make and creates SUCH delicious, flavorful, juicy pork! I love to serve mine with rice and beans for a complete meal. It’s a fave! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Another HUGE Instant Pot win! This mojo pork is life giving. Pork shoulder is one of my favorite things to make in the Instant Pot because it takes SO MUCH LESS time than a low and slow oven roast, and it is unbelievably juicy, tender, and delicious. The way I make pork in the Instant Pot most often is with my Carnitas recipe, but this Mojo Pork might just be my new fave. And it is super ...

Blackened Salmon Bowls with Mango Salsa

April 2, 2020 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Blackened Salmon Bowls with Mango Salsa - The flavors here are too good for words! It’s the perfect spring and summer dinner! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Okay this is my dream meal today. This morning I was feeling THE MOST cabin fever of all time - it's been almost three weeks of social distancing/sheltering at home/etc, and I was FEELING IT TODAY. Honestly, it's just the mornings. The afternoons and evenings are great - but those mornings...it's a LONG STRETCH from 7 am to noon ladies and gents. I could just tell the kids were bored this ...

One Pan Lemon Coconut Chicken! This recipe takes literally 3 ingredients and 20 minutes to make! It couldn’t get any easier than this, and the flavor is outstanding! I love serving this over rice. TheGarlicDiaries.com

Instant Pot Veggie Bisque

March 26, 2020 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Hello friends! Let me brighten your day a little bit with a delicious, smooth, super healthy soup that is PACKED full of veggies. The flavor in this soup is complex and deep - you'd never guess it was just a mix of veggies that our Instant Pot has worked some major magic on! The weather has actually been super warm here lately, but yesterday and today have been 50s and rainy, and it's making ...

Peace Amidst Chaos

March 24, 2020 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Starting off with a peaceful picture of a cuddling little boy to enforce the "Peace" in the title 😌! I've been off the blog for a few weeks while one of our sons had a horrible case of hand, foot, and mouth - he was taking every single little speck of my attention, so I had to take a little breaksie on this end! It has felt weird to be disconnected from the blog with everything going on in the ...

Loaded Vegetable and Barley Soup

March 5, 2020 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Loaded Vegetable Barley Soup - This hearty vegetable soup is filling and satisfying, but so healthy and easy to make! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Soup season is almost over, people! I have mixed feelings about this. I absolutely love fall and winter food - it is my fave. BUT - I prefer warm weather itself DEEPLY over cold weather. I am absolutely itching for it to be warm outside so we can go do alllllll the things. I've become so much more of an outside person since I've had kids because they love being outside SO much. It makes me ...

February 20, 2020 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Pear, Blue Cheese, and Honey Pizzas - these babies take ZERO time to throw together, and it tastes like you are eating at a 5 star restaurant! TheGarlicDiaries.com

These pizzas are insane. Mainly thanks to the combination of two things: one - they are SO easy to make and take SO little time to prep, and two - the flavors happening here are so complex and deep. We have a lot of different things happening, and they all work together to form THE most delicious bite! It's the perfect weeknight meal, it's meatless if you're trying to get your budget down or ...
