Thai Meatball Lettuce Wraps

July 20, 2015 by Annie Chesson 79 Comments

I have a new obsession. And that obsession is Thai food. It all started a few months ago when Seth and I ran in the Spartan Race that I talked a little bit about here, and afterwards went out to eat with his family at a Thai restaurant in Charlotte called Basil. So before eating at this delicious restaurant, I was under the impression that I hated curry with a burning passion. Which still isn't ...

Spicy Chipotle Chickpea Burrito Bowls

July 17, 2015 by Annie Chesson 46 Comments

If I had unlimited money and could eat 10,000 calories a day without gaining a pound, I would literally eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day at Chipotle or Qdoba. Let me describe my obsession to you with one story (I might have told this before....ALL MY STORIES ARE STARTING TO RUN TOGETHER). I'm going to preface for two seconds...literally every time we went out to eat in Georgia, ...

Crispy Garlic Smashed Potatoes

July 15, 2015 by Annie Chesson 28 Comments

Ah, crispy, garlic-y, salty, potato-y goodness. Can I just eat you every day for the rest of my life? Seriously though...who in the world doesn't love potatoes? (Now I am talking to you...not the food.) I have never met someone who doesn't...even if you aren't a "meat and potatoes" kind of person, I feel like you still love them. And if you are saying no to this question you fall into one of ...

Roasted Apples with Cinnamon Peanut Butter Sauce

July 13, 2015 by Annie Chesson 32 Comments

Apples and peanut butter = such a classic combo. Seth LOVES apples - we always get a huge bag when we go to the grocery store that I never think he will actually finish in a week, but he always does! "An apple a day keeps the doctor away"...he, his kids, and his grand-kids should be doctor free for their entire lives because of his apple consumption. I like the taste of apples, but the skin ...

Huevos Rancheros with Grilled Salsa Verde

July 9, 2015 by Annie Chesson 33 Comments

Soooo...the vet. I talked here about how we had a vet appointment for Boone a few days ago, and we had to put him on a heavy sedative so he wouldn't freak out when we got there (like he always does). Before we went got the the vet he was completely out - super super super tired. Like to the point where he could barely get up on the couch. But right when we got there he fully woke up again and ...

Hibachi Soup with Mushrooms and Crispy Onions

July 2, 2015 by Annie Chesson 35 Comments

You know those Japanese steak houses where they cook on that big flat top in front of you and do the exact same tricks every time? The volcano onion stack, shaping the rice into a big heart, catching the shrimp tails in their jacket pockets, and clanking their spatulas on the flat top to make beautiful Hibachi music for the entire 30 minute cooking process? I love those places. My favorite two ...

Individual 4th of July Fruit Pizzas

June 30, 2015 by Annie Chesson 30 Comments

It's almost the 4th of July! Which means red, white, and blue clothes, fireworks, hotdogs, hamburgers, and cold beer. Especially fireworks. I'm a big fan. But who isn't? There is this place near Fort Riley that apparently has AMAZING 4th of July fireworks. Like...unreal amazing. Several of Seth's coworkers said that they've lived in a lot of different places and seen a lot of different firework ...

Grilled Romaine Salad with Bacon and Blue Cheese

June 25, 2015 by Annie Chesson 34 Comments

IF YOU ARE A BLUE CHEESE HATER JUST WAIT! Wait ooone second. Because Seth and I hate blue cheese. Really, really hate it. To the point where if I forget to ask the servers to leave it off my salad at a restaurant it ruins the whole thing for me. But we are obsessed with this salad. Oooooobsessed. So it started with an experiment. There is this burger at a sports bar back in our college town ...
