Herbed Mixed Berry Salad

March 7, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Do you guys find yourself craving healthy, fresh things like fruit and salad if you've had a few days of unhealthy eating? This happens to me biiiiiig time. If I've had some meals over the last few days that aren't exactly packed with nutrition (i.e. pizza...burgers...nah mean?), I end up having this deep desire for crunchy, fresh salads and bright, tangy fruit. That was me this weekend. On ...

Turkey Burger Lettuce Wraps

February 14, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

CHEESEBURGERS OCCUPY 99% OF MY THOUGHTS. All day long. I'm at work...cheeseburgers. I'm teaching a class and someone mentions lunch...cheeseburgers. Someone mentions the color yellow...cheese...cheeseburgers. Someone mentions reading...cheeseburgers. It does not have to be remotely relevant, but somehow my mind finds a way to get to cheeseburger. Thank you, little human growing in my belly, for ...

21 Day Fix Turkey Chili

February 6, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

It’s winter. Chili is a must. There’s just something about making and eating chili during winter specifically that makes my whole body just so happy 😀. It’s a soothing process. Even more so than other stews and soups, but in a different way! Chili is such a hearty, meaty comfort food...and bonus: you are left with leftovers that get better and better in the fridge (one of my favorite parts of ...

Broccoli Cheddar Brown Rice Skillet

January 23, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Why is the combination of broccoli and cheddar SO good? I guess that asks the question why any famous pair is so delicious...seafood and lemon, pork and apples, tomato soup and grilled cheese, strawberries and chocolate? Pepperoni pizza and pregnant women? Maybe that's just me, but pizza is bae right now. BAE 😍. But for reals, broccoli and cheddar. What up with that?! Any time you mix broccoli ...

Super Simple Coconut Lime Quinoa

January 20, 2017 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

This is officially my new favorite way to eat quinoa. Quinoa is probably the thing I make most on repeat at my house. It is so good for you, a perfect side for pretty much anything, and it tastes awesome! I also like the texture - it's kind of chewy...in a good way! So, as you can imagine, I have made about a billion and one types of quinoa over the years, but this one takes the cake with zero ...

21 Day Fix Garlic, Rosemary, and Parmesan Popcorn

January 18, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

POPCORN IS LYFE. But fo reals. Popcorn is my everything. Dearest popcorn, can you please come into my life and be a constant presence with me always? For every second of every day with your crunchy, buttery goodness? Thank you. Sincerely, your truest admirer, Annie. Now, hold on. I'm about to drop some knowledge on you: did you know that popcorn is actually a healthy snack?? I don't mean it's ...

Cheesy Pizza with Lemon Arugula

January 16, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Have you heard the people on all the fancy cooking shows talk about trying to achieve a "balance of flavors" in their recipes? Like a mixture of textures, flavors, acidity, richness, etc...? Well, usually that is way above my pay grade, and I just try to make food that tastes yummy, BUT this recipe is the epitome of that balance of flavors and textures. If you take away the arugula, what you are ...

Baked Coconut Chicken Tenders

January 9, 2017 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Coconut shrimp is one of my favorite things in the entire world, EVA. It is so delicious...there's just something about that slightly sweet, coconut-y breading that makes my tummy and taste buds so very, very happy. So I was thinking the other day - why not try to make coconut chicken instead of coconut shrimp? You still get that yummy, crunchy, coconut-y breading, but it's easier and cheaper to ...

Warm Black Bean and Quinoa Salad with Spicy Lime Dressing

January 6, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I got a rice cooker for Christmas and I ❤️ it so hard. It only has a white rice and brown rice setting, but I decided to be a rebel and cook quinoa in it the other day - it was fluffy and delicious and perfect 😍👍! So - what to make with my cooked-to-perfection-thanks-to-my-new-rice-cooker quinoa? Thiiiisssssss. Salads in winter are hard. Freezing cold weather doesn't exactly make me crave cool, ...

Roasted Garlic and Avocado Toast

June 17, 2016 by Annie Chesson 11 Comments

Stop what you are doing right now. STAAHHHPPPP. Go to the grocery store, pick up fifty heads of garlic, roast every single one of them, and bask in the perfection that ensues. Do it. Because just one head of roasted garlic will never be enough. I could quite literally eat an entire head of roasted garlic plain, just completely plain and on its own, and be super content with life. Super stressful ...
