Parmesan and Almond Crusted Chicken Tenders (keto)

April 29, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Ummmm quick question. Did you know that when you crust chicken in parmesan cheese and then pan fry it, it becomes the most delicious bite of food ever eaten? Me either. But now I'm educated on that very important and delicious topic. And thanks to my new education, I am able to enjoy chicken tenders in a whoooooole new way that I greatly appreciate. It's like your childhood ...

Caprese Stuffed Avocado Cups with Balsamic Reduction (Keto)

April 19, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Well this is literally my obsession above all else. I eat it for lunch at least half the days of the week, and when I'm not eating it, I'm missing it. It is creamy and rich from the avocado, cheesy, smooth, and delicious from the fresh mozzarella cheese, bright and acidic from the tomatoes + the vinaigrette, and slightly sweet from the balsamic reduction. It hits every taste bud in your WHOLE ...

Chicken Bacon Ranch Lettuce Wraps (Keto, Paleo, Whole 30)

Why is chicken bacon ranch one of those combinations that just hits the SPOT anytime you eat it? I can't answer that for you, but I know that I'm here to participate in this delicious combination frequently. I'm heerreee forrrrr ittttt. The chicken is flavorful and juicy, the bacon is crispy and savory, and the ranch is creamy and adds such delicious flavor to the whole thing. To add some ...

Bruschetta Grilled Chicken

April 8, 2019 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Oh, hello there spring. I'm feeling you slap me across the face with your wonderful springiness as I look at pictures of this delicious chicken. Does it get more springy than this dish? Delicious, juicy grilled chicken loaded up with ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, and bright balsamic vinegar. It's the ideal meal to help us welcome this wonderful, springy season! I am extra excited for ...

Turkey and Black Bean Bell Pepper “Nachos”

April 5, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Picture this: you are craving nachos (because who doesn't on the daily?), but you don't necessarily want to load up on a bunch of fried tortilla chips and make yourself feel less than awesome for the rest of the evening. So instead, you cook up a delicious nacho filling with ground turkey, black beans, and taco seasoning. And then you take that heavenly mixture and load it into some lightly ...

World’s Easiest Instant Pot Frozen Shrimp

March 27, 2019 by Annie Chesson 88 Comments

First things first, I need everyone to drop everything they are doing and focus on only this for the next ten minutes, because it is absolutely mandatory that you understand the magic of this shrimp. This is my favorite new recipe, and I have made it twice within one week (and have another bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer to make it again)! It. Is. Revolutionary. Reasons: It no joke takes ...

Instant Pot Green Chili Chicken (perfect for tacos!)

March 22, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

At this point, I've had my Instant Pot for a year + a few months, and I am still SO OBSESSED. It is one HUNDO P my favorite kitchen item, and I get excited when I think of ways to use it. I really can't say enough about this beautiful pot of magic, but if you are on the fence about getting one, you should - for sure, for sure, for sure. I'm in love. And this green chili chicken is the perfect ...

Nooch Popcorn

March 18, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Homemade popcorn is one of my all time favorite things to eat. I can crush an insane amount of it in one sitting - it's slightly inhuman. Most people I know aren't super used to making homemade popcorn, but it is SO easy, and it's a million times better, IMO. I use something called a Whirley Pop, but you can use a lot of different things. I've seen air poppers for popcorn that are pretty cool, ...

Savory Poached Egg Oatmeal

March 15, 2019 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Alright, I'ma need you to bear with me through this one with some TRUST, people. Because this recipe sounds weird, and it might be a little hard to wrap your head around. Savory oatmeal...I was the most skeptical of all time when recipe testing this. I've only ever had oatmeal with things like brown sugar, maple syrup, bananas, cinnamon, fruit, etc...always sweet and breakfast-y - NEVER savory and ...

Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli

February 13, 2019 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

I basically find myself craving Chinese takeout all the time...for SURE multiple times a week. Why? Is it because it tastes so dang good or is it because of the simplicity of just being able to run in and grab it from the counter and peace out, maybe sneaking a few bites in the car on the way home 😬? It's probably a combo of both. The problem with this is that Chinese takeout is usually ...
