Orange Chicken

December 1, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Pizza and Chinese takeout = two of my lifetime staples. I mean, let's just talk about the wonderfulness of these two items real quick. Firstly, they are both delicious. Secondly, they can both be delivered to your door or picked up on your way home. Thirdly, they are both delicious. The deliciousness deserved two points. BUT - problem: both of these food items are super calorie/fat/carb loaded ...

November 10, 2017 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Are you ready for quite possibly the easiest little appetizer/party food/snack ever? This white bean dip takes TOPS five minutes to make. Everything just gets dumped into a food processor and whirled around to smooth, mouthwatering perfection. SO easy it’s not even fair! What will you use your extra not-prepping-complicated-appetizers-and-snacks time doing? Sitting down with a cup of coffee? ...

Are you proud of me for taking such a long break from one pot pastas??

I mean, does one ever actually get enough of one pot pastas?? They are basically the best and most efficient dinners ever. All your stuff, pasta included, cooks in one pot. How do up ...

October 20, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

I meeaaannnnn, I know. It looks so good you could just reach through your shiny computer screen and grab a massive fork full. Or five. Or just grab the whole bowl...who are we kidding, no one would say no to a massive bowl of pasta after a long day #amIright?

Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowls

October 11, 2017 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Sometimes, efficiency is just crucial in life, you know? Work might be crazy, you might have a bunch of kids running around the house, you might have a million little to-do list items ticking through your head. On those days/in those situations, you really need easy, efficient, quick, and yummy (because yumminess is key) dinners. Let's take this morning for example. I was multitasking as ...

Goat Cheese, Caramelized Onion, and Pine Nut Toasts

October 9, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Ima have to make this one short today, friends. Today has been busy and crazy, and little Mr. Ford has been a high maintenance little nugget. Fussy, fussy, fussy any time I try and rock him to sleep. After asking a bunch of people for advice, it turns out that the magic trick is to just stand up, walk him around, and sway/bounce him. Apparently he just hates sitting and being rocked to sleep with ...

Welp, I basically just had the best day of my life. Why am I posting this at 9:30 pm? Because I was busy having the best day of my life. Allow me to elaborate. Let us travel back to Tuesday morning. My doorbell rang, and there was a lady delivering flowers to me for my birthday. I take them from said lovely flower lady, go inside, and read the note. They are from my husband, and the note says for ...

Pork in Garlic Sauce

October 2, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Pork in Garlic Sauce is one of my all time favorite take out dishes. It's probs between this and lo mein for the top slot- it's hard to beat a good lo mein! But if I'm not ordering lo mein, you best believe there will be a steaming hot container of Pork in Garlic Sauce knocking on my door in 20-30 minutes 👅👅👅. The creation of this recipe is something I have toiled over for quite some time. I ...
