Absolute Easiest No-Fuss Lasagna

October 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

One of my favorite things in the world to do is make my totally from scratch lasagna. I mean like SUPER from scratch: homemade pasta, homemade sauce - we even home make the ricotta (actually super easy). I make it when there's a really special occasion or when I'm feeling like spending an afternoon in the kitchen cooking something super labor intensive, because that can be calming and therapeutic ...

Overnight Crock-Pot Pumpkin Apple Butter

October 10, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

If you are from an area of the country/world that doesn't have apple butter, and you've never heard of it/don't know what it is, allow me to please explain to you the beauty of this delicious item. Apple butter. There's actually no butter, but "butter" is in the title because of the smooth, velvety spreadability of the final, pureed, slow cooked apple product. It's like jam in the way that you ...

Maple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Cups

October 9, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

When you are a parent, the more super quick and easy shortcuts you can take with various things throughout the day are KEY.Β  I am a big fan of these shortcuts when it comes to breakfast. My son loves breakfast - it's the best he eats all day - baaasically an adult portion of food. What I usually do is make him a protein pancake (Kodiak Cakes FTW) and a smoothie. He loves the pancake, it's not ...

Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate

October 4, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

First instruction that is absolutely mandatory in order for us to continue with this conversation: go to your kitchen pantry, grab all those little Swiss Miss instant hot chocolate packets, and throw them away or put them in a box to donate. STAT. GO DO IT. Okay, now that that's all worked out, say hello to this delicious homemade hot chocolate that is baaaaaasically just as easy as throwing ...

Baked Breakfast Sliders with Maple Butter Sauce

October 3, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I am the antithesis of the horrendous and offensive term "morning person." If I wake up on my own without any alarms, then I'm okay. But, about 14 months ago, I gave birth to a permanent, living alarm clock that has zero snooze button capabilities, so since then there hasn't been tons of "waking up on my own." (He's the cutest alarm clock ever, though.) Things I can do to make my mornings less ...

Beef Stroganoff

October 1, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Can I just start by saying that this is like THE definition of comfort food? Noodles smothered in a creamy, flavorful sauce loaded up with tender ground beef, mushrooms, onion, and garlic. It's just GOOD - that's the best way to describe it. Just straight up good food. Beef stroganoff is one of those cafeteria slash frozen food classics that you always seem to see. I'm talking the overcooked ...

Fresh Tomato Pasta

September 26, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

WHEW - alright people, we are settled back at home in Kansas after a 3 + week long trip to North Carolina. Seth had a 3 week training in Georgia, and we have tons of family and friends in North Carolina just a few states away (almost said one state and then checked myself and looked at a US map...Lord please never let me teach geography), so Ford and I decided to tag along and hang out in North ...

Instant Pot Garlic Butter Green Beans

August 29, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

These green beans literally have a constant presence in my fridge, you guys. You can almost always find a tupperware full of them ready to be devoured at any moment. The reason = my one year old will go. to. TOWN. on these babies! He literally shoves them in his mouth by the chubby fist full. They are probs his favorite vegetable, and because they are so easy and quick to make, it seems like we ...

Bruschetta Panzanella Salad

August 27, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Let's talk about the beautiful thing that is panzanella. Have you ever heard of it before? Ever eaten it? If you don't know what it is, allow me to drop some knowledge on you...panzanella is literally bread salad. Bread. Salad. Italy, you really, REALLY came through for us here, friend. Panzanella (no big shocker here) is one of my all time favorite salads. I've made lots of different kinds, my ...

Curry Chicken Salad

August 22, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Chicken salad can be preeetttyy iffy for me. Sometimes it can just be a pile of dry chicken coated in what seems to be straight mayo...hard pass. I don't love it when it's made with canned chicken, and I definitely don't love it if I can taste the mayo. If it's made with rotisserie chicken, that's better, but the best case scenario is this (πŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌ) right here, friends! This chicken salad has a ...
