This 25 Minute Dump and Go Taco Soup will revolutionize your healthy and CRAZY simple weeknight dinner game! It seriously doesn’t get any easier than this, and it’s so yummy! TheGarlicDiaries.com

WOW - it has been a while, internet fam. Since the week before Thanksgiving, I have posted one recipe on the blog! Between family being here for Thanksgiving and Christmas (which was time I intended to take off work), the weeks in between were a giant blur of sickness and lots of sleep-hating babies. Well, just one in particular πŸ™‚. I wasn't planning on ghosting the blog for an entire month, ...

Chimichurri Chicken

December 10, 2019 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

This Chimichurri Chicken is a wonderful, super easy weeknight dinner that comes together in less than thirty minutes and tastes fresh, healthy, and SO delicious!! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Say hello to your brand new weeknight favorite, friends and family! This chicken is a super sneaky weeknight meal because it's one that doesn't taste like it took half an hour to make! Not. At. All. The chicken is juicy and moist (not to mention super flavorful from the blackening seasoning), and the chimichurri is crazy flavorful and impossibly fresh. They are a match made in heaven! The ...

Whole 30 Cashew Chicken

November 14, 2019 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Whole 30 Cashew Chicken - This is SO much better than takeout (not to mention a million times healthier), but it has all those classic flavors you love so much! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Chinese takeout is one of my biggest guilty pleasures. On extra lazy nights, my go-to is one of two things: pizza or takeout. Both so yummy and both so satisfying! Howevvvver, there is a caveat to this! I always feel kinda gross and heavy afterwards. My skin feels greasy after eating the greasy Chinese food, and I'm always so dang thirsty from all that sodium. Now, don't get me wrong, I ...

Instant Pot Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup

October 29, 2019 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

Instant Pot Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup - I’m not usually a fan of butternut squash soup, but this Thai version is DREAMS. Creamy, luscious, and full of whole foods and healthy fats! #whole30 #paleo TheGarlicDiaries.com

So, butternut squash soup. Let's discuss for a minute. It's SUCH a popular fall dish - you literally see recipes for it left and right all season long. I've tried and tried and tried to make it, but I can't ever get super excited about it. It's always just a little "meh." I don't WANT to feel this way because I strive to be obsessed with all things fall (I LOVE FALL), but I just can't seem to ...

Roasted Corn with Cumin Brown Butter

August 22, 2019 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Roasted Corn with Cumin Brown Butter - TheGarlicDiaries.com

Before I address any of this, can we all work on compiling a list of every single food item that we could possible slather with brown butter and then get back to each other? That would be v helpful. Now about this corn. Have you ever had roasted corn? How about corn that is generously rolled around in brown butter after cooking? If you answered "no" to one or both of these things, ...

5 Minute Brownie Batter Hummus

August 20, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Brownie Batter Hummus - TheGarlicDiaries.com

If you don't want to dive face first into this bowl, all spoons remaining safely in their drawers, then who even are you? It looks like brownie batter, it's smooth like brownie batter, it's chocolatey and rich like brownie batter, but - BAM - surprise, it's hummus! Like, as in it's made with chickpeas. πŸ‘†πŸΌ That right there is. What alternate universe have we stepped into here? Whatever it ...

Hi there, summer - nice to bump into you again! I'm looking forward to spending the next several weeks enjoying you before the lovely fall season begins to creep in 😍! This recipe is basically a summer celebration. Why? First of all: we grill the steak. What screams summer more than grilling? Secondly, apricots.

My Favorite Spice Rub (amazing on meat and seafood!)

August 13, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

The BEST spice rub ever! Absolutely amazing on any meat and seafood! I even like to use it on veggies. TheGarlicDiaries.com

I love this spice rub so much that I keep a giant jar of it right next to my stove. It is awarded place next to my most used kitchen items: salt and olive oil. That's how much I use it and how much I love it! Anytime I'm cooking any type of meat or seafood (or even veggies!), you can pretty well bet that this spice rub is getting all up in that situation πŸ’ƒπŸ» It is savory, complex, and very ...

Fresh Watermelon Mint Pops

August 1, 2019 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

I'm sorry, give me a quick sec, I'm still recovering from the slap of summer that just hit me across the face with these watermelon pops. I think I'm good now... Let's talk. These popsicles are pure summer - they use WATERMELON (helloooo) which is the epitome of summer if you ask me, and they are frozen, frosty treats, which help cool you off on those hot hot hooooot summer days. They ...
