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 ...

Baked Ham and Swiss Croissants with Honey Mustard Sauce

February 22, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This warm, melty, gooey, comforting croissant sandwich has been on my mind for weeks. Ever since the thought popped into my brain, I haven't stopped craving it! I brought it to work today for lunch and was just counting down the minutes until I could eat it. THEY ARE SO GOOD. Does this give you a small peak into my food-obsessed brain? The fact that I was counting down the minutes until lunch ...

Garlic Butter Chicken Thighs

February 17, 2017 by Annie Chesson 22 Comments

I mean, big surprise - garlic. Garlic is so goooooooodddd (hence blog title), and it's an injustice to food not to use it in every single recipe you ever make for the rest of your life. At least that's the logical conclusion I've come to. The grocery store I shop at, Dillon's, carries these bags of garlic, and the bag is filled with like 4-pack vacuum sealed pouches of garlic. Already peeled and ...

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 ...

Kale Pesto

January 30, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Pesto is just one of those things that makes anything taste awesome. If you are looking for a way to flavor up a boring dish, throw some pesto in there, people! The uses are endless...a few spoonfuls in your stir fry, a dollop on top of your bowl of soup, an addition to cream sauce, eaten straight out of your fridge with a spoon...ENDLESS! One of my personal favorite ways to use pesto is in a ...

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 ...

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?

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 ...

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, ...
