Ultimate 5 Minute Homemade Hot Chocolate

December 10, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Yes. So much yes. There is nothing better in this world than a hot mug of cocoa warming your hands as the snow is coming down outside. Or, in Kansas' case right now, no snow but BITTER cold temperatures. It was fifteen degrees this morning. Some of you North Dakota and Minnesota natives may be rolling your eyes at me right now, but for this North Carolinian, THAT IS AWFUL. The Cackalackies weren't ...

Pumpkin Bread French Toast

October 31, 2016 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Hold the phone. Hold. The. PHONE. French toast made with homemade pumpkin bread is happening all up in here right now. And let me tell you people, it is sweet, fall-y, rich, dense, and SO flavorful. Does it get much better than pumpkin bread in the first place? I can't attest to your feelings on the delicious loaf of autumnal goodness, but for me personally, I would be content sitting in my ...

Cheater Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Glaze

October 19, 2016 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Um...what happened. I know I have said this before...but I mean it every time...and I'm saying it again...these are probably the best things I have ever made! I need to never buy any of these ingredients again, because the cinnamon rolls are so delicious that they are 100% wiped out within two days ?. For the sake of my pants still fitting, these tasty treats will only be allowed in my house on ...

Fall is officially in full swing over here at the Chesson household, people. I've got my fall placemats out, my ceramic pumpkin on the kitchen table, my pumpkin scented candles strategically placed in various locations around the house...you name it, IT'S HAPPENING. And I am loving every second of it while basking in this wonderful fall weather. Speaking of fall weather...I'm obsessed. Obsessed. ...

Okay, this is officially the easiest recipe that has ever been posted on the internet. Or written in any cookbook. Or put on YouTube. To reiterate...THIS IS THE EASIEST RECIPE EVER. It only takes five ingredients and twenty minutes to make! The supa short time and craycray few ingredients aren't what make this recipe so awesome, though... What makes it so awesome is how BOMB it tastes despite the ...

The Most BOSS Salad of All Time

August 12, 2016 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

I mean...the title says it all. I sat here debating for a good ten minutes over whether or not I wanted to title this salad what it actually was (which we will talk about in a minute), or if I should give it a title that immediately alerts you that you are about to make and eat THE MOST BOSS SALAD EVER. Not even exaggerating. I've had a lot of salads, and I've made a lot of salads...this one ...

30 Minute One Pot Hamburger Helper

July 14, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Do you have any meals that you used to eat growing up that, despite their unhealthy and processed-ness (?), you love because they're nostalgic? Or even if it's not nostalgia, you like eating them now because you never were allowed to eat them when you were a kid? My parents were pretty healthy people, so we NEVER had sugary cereals, bags of chips, or lunchables laying around our house. And of ...
