Asian Cucumber “Noodles”

May 18, 2015 by Annie Chesson 35 Comments

These cucumber noodles have been on my list of recipes I want to create for my blog since I started The Garlic Diaries back in September! They have been on my mind for a while now - the idea of cucumber "noodles" just sounded so light and refreshing to me. Not to mention healthy. And pretty. And crunchy... In hindsight, I'm glad I waited so long to actually make these because now the weather is ...

BBQ Pulled Pork Quesadillas

May 13, 2015 by Annie Chesson 18 Comments

I have to tell you about my obsession right now. Slow roasting a pork shoulder. Like really low and slow for five or six hours. Oh. My. Goodness. This slow roasted pork, shredded and covered in BBQ sauce, is probably one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life. And I'm not even exaggerating. I am obsessed. We made it once a few weeks ago, then again for these quesadillas, and yesterday ...

Jalapeno Popper Cheeseburger

May 11, 2015 by Annie Chesson 22 Comments

Since I was a little girl, Jalapeno Poppers have been my all time favorite snack food. BUT they have to be the kind with cheddar cheese inside...cream cheese = no go. I love finding different ways to include the flavors of Jalapeno Poppers into other foods - sandwiches, dips, or this burger! The roasted jalapenos and cheese stuffed inside the ground beef give these burgers the delicious Jalapeno ...

Caprese Salad Bites with Garlic Balsamic Reduction

May 5, 2015 by Annie Chesson 26 Comments

Okay...once again I am SO far behind on this post. I am sorry! I hate not being consistent about posting and I never want people to wonder "where the heck did she go?" If you read my last post (on April 30th...whoops), you know how crazy this week has been for me! So far, since that last post, I drove to Atlanta, flew to Charlotte, flew to Denver, and flew back to Charlotte to help my mom ...

Flank Steak Tacos with Cilantro Lime Yogurt Sauce

April 30, 2015 by Annie Chesson 34 Comments

Alright people, listen to this craziness. So my mom is starting a business called Perfect Pregnancy ( I could take ten pages to describe what it is, but the gist is that it's a Christian based business that is all about helping and encouraging women throughout their pregnancy) and they are filming their Kickstarter video in Charlotte, NC this weekend. A huge part of Perfect Pregnancy is a book ...

One Pot Vegan Lentil Chili

April 27, 2015 by Annie Chesson 32 Comments

Chili? In April? I know...it's not exactly your typical spring dish, but like I mentioned with my Chicken and Rice Soup a few weeks ago, I'm an all year round soup/stew/chili eater. If that's not you, bookmark this delicious recipe and save it for October! Well I was suppooooosed to write this post yesterday, but Seth and I traveled to Savannah, GA this weekend to photograph our friends' ...

Brown Sugar Peppered Bacon

April 24, 2015 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Bacon! I love bacon. I think everyone loves bacon. It's delicious and crispy and salty and perfect. But thiiiis bacon takes regular bacon and slaps it in the face. The combination of salty and sweet is one of those classic things that everyone loves - it's the perfect pairing of flavor. It's why the world is obsessed with salted caramel right now - salty and sweet, people! Salty. And. ...

Easy Veggie Lo Mein

April 21, 2015 by Annie Chesson 28 Comments

Lo Mein is probably my favorite dish to get when I go out to a Chinese restaurant. Sometimes I branch out and get something different, but whenever I do I am secretly missing my traditional Lo Mein order every time :). I'm not sure why I waited for so long to create my own Lo Mein recipe at home, but I am so happy we decided to give it a try. It was a huge hit! The tender veggies, bold, ...

Salmon Banh Mi

April 19, 2015 by Annie Chesson 20 Comments

There is this restaurant here in Georgia called Atlanta Bread Company - it's super similar to Panera but way better (at least I think so). Well there is this sandwich they make, a Salmon Banh Mi, that I am absolutely obsessed with! I get it every single time Seth and I go there and can't stop thinking the whole time about how crazy delicious it is. It has this perfect balance of flavors - crisp ...

Fudgy Gluten-Free Brownies

April 15, 2015 by Annie Chesson 39 Comments

You're gunna love me when you try these. I mean these are good...like seriously, seriously, WEIRDLY good. Weirdly good considering they are made up mostly of black beans and coconut oil. I know what you are thinking... Because I was thinking the same thing. There is NO way that these brownies taste nearly as good as actual brownies, let alone taste good at all. I even said to Seth before I ...
