Pumpkin Barley Risotto with Roasted Sweet Potatoes

November 19, 2014 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving! Thannkkksssgiiivvinggg!!! I feel like Thanksgiving is a particularly fun holiday for anyone who loves to cook. I actually enjoy the cooking more than the eating... Don't get me wrong, I love the eating portion of the day too, but I love being in the kitchen with a bunch of people that are all cooking together. It's one of my favorite things ever. So this week I ...

30 Minute Garlic Rosemary Focaccia

November 16, 2014 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

There is a secret ingredient in this recipe that will make it the easiest focaccia bread you have ever made or ever will make for the rest of your entire life. Store bought pizza dough! I literally preheated the oven, rolled out some dough, chopped garlic and rosemary, drizzled some olive oil, and that's it. No mixing, no kneading, no resting. Now if you would rather make your own pizza dough ...

30 Minute One Pot Caprese Chicken Bake

November 14, 2014 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This recipe is so easy. You literally cook chicken, put some stuff on top of it, cook it again, and eat it. Done. HOWEVER...I will say that though this recipe is easy, I had one of those days where everything went wrong for a few hours. I was cooking this recipe and two others at the same time for my blog, cut my hand three different times on chickpea can lids (those things are freaking ...

Potato Pumpkin Soup with Bacon

November 10, 2014 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

This soup screams fall. A warm, cozy potato soup with pumpkin...what could be more fall-y? This soup makes me want to curl up in a warm blanket and sit by the fireplace. Not only is there bacon on top of the soup, but the roux (a thickener typically using a mixture of butter and flour) uses bacon fat instead of butter. Because of this, there is a delicious bacon flavor in each bite of this ...

Almond Butter “Reese’s Cups” with Sea Salt

November 9, 2014 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Reese's Cups really are one of the best candies out there. And they are so simple! Just chocolate and peanut butter. So why not just make your own? These "Reese's Cups" are not only super easy, they are much better for you than the real thing. They use semi-sweet instead of milk chocolate, and they use almond butter instead of the super sugar packed "peanut butter" inside a Reese's Cup. But I ...

Crispy Chickpea and Edamame Oven Snack

November 7, 2014 by Annie Chesson 25 Comments

Snacking is so much fun - it's even better when your snacks are good for you! I don't know about you, but when I want a snack, it's usually something salty I want. Better yet, something salty and crispy. Enter crispy chickpea and edamame oven snacks. These will satisfy any crunchy, salty snack craving. I love the mixture of the edamame and the chickpeas, they play off of each other so ...

30 Minute Light Shrimp Scampi

November 6, 2014 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Shrimp Scampi traditionally uses a lot of butter and is eaten over pasta, so some might wonder if it is even possible to make a light version of this dish. Those people should definitely try this recipe...because it uses whole wheat pasta and only two tablespoons of butter, and you won't miss the traditional version one little bit! There is soo much flavor in this dish. And it only takes thirty ...

Pesto Grilled Vegetable Salad

November 3, 2014 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Don't you love grilled vegetables? I'm not sure what it is about them, but they just taste so much better than sauteed or steamed vegetables. My love for grilled vegetables is what inspired this recipe. This is the third and final day of my pesto week! After this I will be moving onto recipes that aren't pesto-centric. And this was a good recipe to end on. The pesto flavor is very muted in this ...

Pesto Chicken Salad Pita Pockets

October 28, 2014 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

We are on day two out of three in our pesto week! This chicken salad pita is not only very healthy for you, it is packed with tons of flavor. The chicken is juicy and pesto-y (word?), the red onions are sharp and crisp, the arugula is fresh and peppery, and the creamy lemon pesto yogurt sauce brings a final note of brightness to the sandwich. This recipe won't make you feel like you are eating ...

Zucchini Noodles with Pesto Cream Sauce

October 27, 2014 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

So we are on day one of our three uses of pesto! This first recipe using our "Perfect Pesto" is this amazing pesto cream sauce. I love this sauce. I could eat it like soup...seriously. And it is SO easy to make! As for the zucchini noodles, if you don't want to go through the trouble of making those, you can absolutely just use whole wheat pasta instead. The point of this recipe is the sauce. So ...
