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.  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 ...

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 ...

Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread

September 28, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This is what we call doing a swan dive into fall with a swimsuit made out of leaves, goggles crafted from pine cones, and a swim cap made from a pumpkin. Summer is officially over, and I am MORE than happy to warmly welcome my all time favorite season! Come on in, fall! Please, stay as long as you'd like. Preferably through winter - we can just skip all that freezing coldness this year right? I'm ...

Stuffed Grilled Peaches with Black Pepper Honey

July 18, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Hello there, summer, may I celebrate you with the ultimate summer appetizer/snack/side i.e. grilled peaches? With a light and creamy filling? And a drizzle of black pepper honey? Aaaaand some sliced basil? Good, I'm glad you approve. A perfectly ripe peach is arguably one of my favorite things in the whole world to eat...it is tender, so sweet, and SO DELICIOUS. I have a hard time finding ripe ...

The subtle, floral lavender flavor that comes through in each sip gives the perfect unique spin on the traditional lemonade, not to mention it screams spring loudly and obnoxiously in your ear as you're drinking your icy ...

Avocado “Toast” with a Sunny Side Up Egg

March 16, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Okay, so I'm excited about this one. Breakfast can be a struggle for me, especially while doing Whole 30. I get sick of the same breakfasts over and over again, and I get frustrated with the lack of options. When I'm not on Whole 30, I tend to cycle between phases of eggs, protein pancakes, sometimes things like oatmeal or toast, and then when I get super sick of breakfast all together, just ...

Fried Egg Turkey Burgers with Sweet Potato “Buns”

February 28, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Whole 30 day one is in the books, and we are makin' our way through day two right now! I think I'll have less of those Whole 30 symptoms that other people experience (like the "hangover" and super tired/pissy days at the beginning) because I was doing paleo for several weeks before this, so my body is used to this style of eating for the most part. I will say, however, that the fact that honey is ...

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 ...

Open Faced Fried Egg Burgers with Green Chili Mayo

October 18, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

What? Oh, hello there. Sorry, I didn't see you for a second. I was preoccupied violently shoving five of these open faced fried egg burgers into my mouth at once and having a moment savoring the delicious perfection that is THIS BURGER. You guys...I'm mildly freaking out at the moment over how delicious these are. It is my new go-to recipe for burgers. The flavor here is OFF THE CHARTS amazing. ...
