Perfect 30 Minute Red Curry

July 8, 2016 by Annie Chesson 20 Comments

Oh my gosh. Hold the phone. HOLD. THE. PHONE. This is quite possibly the best thing I have ever consumed in my entire life. Food, drink, anything. First of all...allow me to preface... Up until a few years ago, I had never tried Thai curry. I had tried Indian curry, and I wasn't a big fan of that, so I thought that meant that I wouldn't like any curry. Then I went to a Thai restaurant, someone ...

Herbed Pea and Orzo Salad

July 6, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Remember that time we made an amazing herb condiment packed with basil, cilantro, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil and then folded it into pasta? OH WAIT. That happened today ????. And holy delicious, it was a big bowl of wow-it's-hot-outside-so-let's-make-easy-food-with-bright-flavors-and-be-happy-forever. You pickin' up what I'm puttin' down? Good. So...those herbs. That ...

If you grew up in/have ever lived in/have ever visited the South, you know that shrimp and grits are just one of those thangs.

Vegan Chili Stewed Chickpeas

June 21, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

So basically these last few weeks have been a hey-my-husband-is-finally-home-from-his-deployment-so-let's-celebrate-and-go-out-to-eat-every-three-seconds type of situation. We haven't been eating super badly (with the exception of a few several meals), but it definitely hasn't been kale salad and protein shakes over here. We went to Topeka with my sister-in-law and niece yesterday, so we ate at a ...

Grilled Chicken Caesar Wraps with Mayo-Free Dressing

June 15, 2016 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Ima not even tell you about my secret ingredient that makes this dressing super healthy yet. It will keep you on the edge of your seat/couch/bed/desk chair until I finally decide to drop the bomb of deliciousness that takes a usually mayonnaise and fat packed dressing and makes it good for your tum-tum. That's right...the suspense is growing. Meanwhile, since I'm withholding my dressing ...

Soy Marinated Grilled Broccoli with Browned Peanuts

June 2, 2016 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

I have this AWESOME friend named Ceaven (it's pronounced "Kevin"). My phone likes to correct her name seven million times before it accepts that I am trying to type Ceaven. Craven. Caravan. Heaven. The corrections are endless. Anyway, she is also a teacher at the school where I work, so we eat lunch together everyday. We both loooovvveee food and cooking, so we are always trying each other's ...

30 Minute One Pot Barbecue Chicken Quinoa Skillet

June 1, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Can I confess something to you? I know you won't tell anyone. For my entire life - every single day of my entire life - I thought barbecue was spelled barbeque. When did I come to the realization that this is, in fact, false? I'm glad you ask. It was about five minutes ago. I had made my Pinterest image and everything (that I put at the bottom of each post) with barbecue spelled with a "Q." Let's ...

Spicy Shrimp Bowls with Parmesan Quinoa and Garlic Kale

May 13, 2016 by Annie Chesson 13 Comments

STAAHHPP with the kale. I know...I know...I'm sorry. It's the kale phase forcing my mind to only think of kale-inclusive recipes. The kale phase is still going strong, people. It's still going real strong. Can I tell you something that will clue you in on the craziness of my brain this week? I went grocery shopping after work today before I picked up Boone and headed home. Well, as I was ...
