Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Tahini Sauce

May 11, 2018 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Roasted cauliflower and me = BFF. Do you have a good relationship with cauliflower? Have you ever roasted it? If you answer was "no" to the first question, it's highly probable it was also "no" to the second question. When you roast cauliflower in the oven for a niiiice longggg time, allowing it to get soft and deliciously toasty and caramelized, it is HEAVEN. It is probably my favorite vegetable ...

Smashed Chickpea and Avocado

May 9, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Aaaaand welcome to my obsession. My love language. My crack = ^^^^. I made this recipe FOR-EVER go, before my Instant Pot series and before Whole 30, so it has taken me this long to actually get around to posting it because I had to finish those two things out first. Now that I am done with my Instant Pot series and done with my Whole 30 recipes, this delicious little baby FINALLY has its time in ...

Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries

March 19, 2018 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

There is a mythical, mysterious creature out there called the "crispy baked sweet potato fry." I was skeptical of its existence for a very long time after trying unsuccessful recipe after unsuccessful recipe. I finally decided that a crispy sweet potato fry is a nice theory but sadly is impossible to find and have for myself. Kind of like a unicorn. HOWEVER - my husband made sweet potato fries a ...

Hot Cheesy Corn Dip

January 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Okay, I mean...let's just be real with each other for a second. Is there anyone out there who doesn't have an emotionally intimate moment with their computer screen when they hear words like hot+cheesy+corn+dip in one title? How could this dip possibly not be the most delicious chip topper ever when it's cheesy, creamy, and loaded with sweet kernels of corn? If I'm being honest, I could go to TOWN ...

Microwave Mac and Cheese in a Mug

December 20, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

It's official. My life is changed forever now that I can have a piping hot mug of delicious mac and cheese in five minutes FLAT. No joke on that five minutes - the pasta and water cook in the microwave for four minutes, during which you grate your cheddar cheese. The mug comes out of the microwave, gets a quick stir, the cheese and half and half get thrown in, and after another thirty seconds in ...

Kindly do me a favor and throw away - no, burn - every other soup recipe you've ever made and MAKE THIS AND ONLY THIS FOREVER. I'm fo reals. It's the only soup you'll ever need. We struck gold here, people.

Are you ready for quite possibly the easiest little appetizer/party food/snack ever? This white bean dip takes TOPS five minutes to make. Everything just gets dumped into a food processor and whirled around to smooth, mouthwatering perfection. SO easy it’s not even fair!

3 Cheese Quinoa Cakes

October 27, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Can you go wrong with anything that is titled "3 cheese"? You definitely can't go wrong with these quinoa cakes, I know that. They are dense, cheesy, crispy, and super filling and hearty. Eat them as a side, or pile a few on your plate for a whole meal. They are seriously delicious! This recipe was actually originally supposed to just be three cheese quinoa...just a bowl of cheesy quinoa. Which ...

Goat Cheese, Caramelized Onion, and Pine Nut Toasts

October 9, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Ima have to make this one short today, friends. Today has been busy and crazy, and little Mr. Ford has been a high maintenance little nugget. Fussy, fussy, fussy any time I try and rock him to sleep. After asking a bunch of people for advice, it turns out that the magic trick is to just stand up, walk him around, and sway/bounce him. Apparently he just hates sitting and being rocked to sleep with ...
