Whole 30 Cashew Chicken

November 14, 2019 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

Whole 30 Cashew Chicken - This is SO much better than takeout (not to mention a million times healthier), but it has all those classic flavors you love so much! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Chinese takeout is one of my biggest guilty pleasures. On extra lazy nights, my go-to is one of two things: pizza or takeout. Both so yummy and both so satisfying! Howevvvver, there is a caveat to this! I always feel kinda gross and heavy afterwards. My skin feels greasy after eating the greasy Chinese food, and I'm always so dang thirsty from all that sodium. Now, don't get me wrong, I ...

Roasted Leek Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

November 12, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Roasted Leek Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette - This hearty salad is perfect for these fall and winter months! TheGarlicDiaries.com

I love a good fall salad. Salads are typically seen as a "fresh summer" type situation, but fall salads are my fave! They seem to have heartier ingredients, and it's not uncommon that they have a roasted veggie or two thrown in there. In this case, our roasted veggie is the humble leek. It's a type of onion, but the flavor is mild and extra savory in my opinion! They get caramelized, soft, ...

Caramelized Butternut Squash with Pecans

November 7, 2019 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Caramelized Butternut Squash with Pecans - This cubed butternut squash is cooked until deeply golden brown and then pecans, garlic, and herbs are thrown in for the last few minutes until aromatic and flavorful! SO good - its the best butternut squash! TheGarlicDiaries.com

This. Butternut. Squash. Is. NEXT LEVEL, you guys. Butternut squash is usually the star in soups, you don't see it quite as often served on its own as a side. But, man oh man oh man, this caramelized butternut squash is to die for! The sweetness of the veggie itself is deepened by the caramelization, but then we've got pecans, lots of garlic, sage, and thyme thrown in for the last few minutes - ...

Chopped Cauliflower Salad - Tender roasted cauliflower diced up and tossed with celery, almonds, and fennel and drizzled with a delicious lemon vinaigrette! Such a hearty and delicious salad that’s perfect for fall! TheGarlicDiaries.com

There's something so fun and satisfying about a salad without any greens! They are super extra hearty, and it's like a bowl full of JUST the toppings (which are the best part anyway, right?!). This salad is definitely hearty, but it's also full of flavors and textures that balance each other out: Roasted, tender cauliflowerCrunchy fresh celery and fennelNutty almondsA bright lemon ...

October Chats! What's been going on this month - it's been full and busy and amazing. October is the best! TheGarlicDiaries.com

On a scale of 1-10, how pumped do the kids look in this picture? Trick question, the answer is 11. Y'all, it is giving me LIFE that I am getting my October Chats out on the actual last day of October. When am I ever that organized and on time like that anymore?

Instant Pot Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup

October 29, 2019 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

Instant Pot Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup - I’m not usually a fan of butternut squash soup, but this Thai version is DREAMS. Creamy, luscious, and full of whole foods and healthy fats! #whole30 #paleo TheGarlicDiaries.com

So, butternut squash soup. Let's discuss for a minute. It's SUCH a popular fall dish - you literally see recipes for it left and right all season long. I've tried and tried and tried to make it, but I can't ever get super excited about it. It's always just a little "meh." I don't WANT to feel this way because I strive to be obsessed with all things fall (I LOVE FALL), but I just can't seem to ...

Thai Stir Fry with Curry “Peanut” Sauce

October 15, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Thai Stir Fry with Curry “Peanut” Sauce - This delicious Thai stir fry is taken to a whole new level when it is smothered in a delicious curry “peanut” sauce (we use almond butter instead to keep it whole30!). Serve it over cauliflower rice for a complete meal! TheGarlicDiaries.com

THAI FOOD. Sorry for screaming - I get overly excited about Thai food. It's my fave. That and sushi. I can't pick between them - DON'T MAKE ME. I actually have to make a concerted effort not to post constant Thai recipes on here and be repetitive. I already have another Thai recipe coming next week, so I couuuuld be doing a better job at this. Oh well...YOLO. This dish is a total mix ...

Sheet Pan Tomato Soup (whole 30, paleo, keto)

October 10, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Sheet Pan Tomato Soup - Throw all the veggies onto a sheet pan, roast them up, and blend them all together with some veggie stock to make a delicious roasted tomato soup! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Sheet pan dinners are a thing these days. They're trendy. And for SUPER GOOD REASON - have you tried one?? They are the height of ease and simplicity. They take one pot dinners to the next level because everyone and their mom knows that when you roast something, the flavor automatically gets pumped up to level ten thirteen. But have you ever had a sheet pan soup?? Meaning you roast everything ...
