My Favorite Freezer Breakfast Burritos

February 20, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Breakfast is a struggle. I'm almost never in the mood to cook anything legit when I wake up (unless it's a weekend), I'm usually rushed to get out the door if we are going anywhere, and even if we aren't going anywhere, I'm busy getting my son breakfast + taking care of him, so I rarely am able to throw down anything other than a quick bowl of cereal. If your mornings look anything like that or ...

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 ...

Coconut Curry Ramen Revamp

January 23, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

One of my hubby and I's favorite things to do is upgrade those little 99 cent ramen packs you get at the store (aka that sustained you throughout your college years) into something a little fancier and more extra. Usually we just add some veggies and maybe a little garlic and ginger + a shot of soy sauce, but sometimes we will go real fancy and really throw some extra goodies in there. Eating ...

How To: The Perfect Soft Boiled Egg

People. Have you ever ventured into the world of a soft boiled egg? Oh...my gosh. It is heaven. Soft, velvety, silky egg yolk that is perfectly encased within a tender, perfectly set egg white. I had never tried making one before this...isn't that crazy? I was missing out on a whole world of egg perfection! It just seemed daunting to me. How do you find the perfect balance of runny yolk + set ...

Peppermint Oreo Crunch Cake Mix Cookies

December 19, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

I mean...is it cool that I'm sliding another chocolate + peppermint recipe in here two weeks in a row, or is that too repetitive? Does it make any difference if I tell you that these cookies are super simple and will fill your whole body with Christmas joy? It's honestly hard for me to even think of any desserts or treats during Christmas that don't involve peppermint in one way or ...

Did you all have the best Thanksgiving ever?? I hope it was one for the books, and I hope you are still polishing off the rest of those delicious leftovers. I know after the marathon cooking event that is Thanksgiving, a lot of people (myself included) like to take a little break from intensive cooking for a little while and grab some takeout, eat lots of leftovers, or just stick with easy peasy ...

Thanksgiving = a holiday totally centered around food.

Bourbon Brown Sugar Glazed Ham

November 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Um, please stand by while I overcome an emotional moment while g(L)azing (get it?!) at the crunchy exterior of this ham... - - - Thank you for your patience. People, you have not lived unless this ham has been in your life. This literally takes any ham I've ever had and slaps it across the country to a land where mediocre hams are welcome, because they ARE NO LONGER WELCOME ...
