October 17, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Roasted Carrot Pesto - Delicious over meat or as a dip for veggies, this roasted carrot pesto is a game changer! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Yesssss, yes, and YES to all the pesto. I love making fun and different pestos!

Some faves include this Cilantro Cashew Pesto and this Pistachio Pesto! This one has lots of cozy fall notes with the roasted carrot flavor so present in the pesto. So here's ...

Avocado Chimichurri

June 4, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I mean, on a scale of one to ten, how acceptable is it to slather avocado chimichurri all over your body like lotion? A hard six? I'll take it. This chimichurri is THE actual best. We have had it twice on grilled flank steak and once on roasted potatoes, and all times it was life giving. Like...I-want-to-eat-this-straight-from-the-bowl-with-a-spoon level of life giving. It's not only THE ...

Creamy, Dairy Free Alfredo Sauce (whole 30, paleo)

May 29, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I don't know about you, but when I am not "allowed" to have something food related, my brain is automatically like...hey, you know what I want super bad? That. It's like craving Chik-fil-a on Sunday...I know I can't have it so it's automatically what I want. Right now we are trying to eat (mostly) dairy free. My hubbs is a little lactose intolerant so we are just trying to avoid it when we ...

15 Minute Mango Salsa

May 22, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

What is better than a perfect bowl of fresh, ripe mango salsa? Nothing, you say? You would be THE MOST correct. It's fruity, it's sweet, it's tangy, it's got some spice from the jalapeno, bite from the red onion, and freshness from the cilantro. Throw it on top of grilled chicken, fish, pork, grass clippings...wait, probably not...but maybe? This mango salsa takes like two seconds to make ...

Hot Bacon Dressing

May 20, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Can I just say that I'm so happy we live in a world where something called "bacon dressing" exists? I mean...what is this life? The fact that we can douse our salad in hot bacon dressing and call it a meal makes my heart the happiest it's ever been. This takes dressing to a whole new level. We literally use the fat rendered from the bacon as the oil in this dressing. Is that even legal? It's ...

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 ...

Hidden Veggie Marinara (great for kids!)

You may only enter this post if all children under the age of ten aren't in visual range of your computer screen. You must answer TWO secret questions to pass the mom test and prove that you are not, indeed, a small child. The questions follow: How many days has it been since you have showered?

Watermelon Salsa

May 21, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

One million percent inspiration for this recipe goes to my bestie, Megan. I have two AMAZING best friends that I've known since I could barely read (aka forever), and to this day they are still two of my favorite people in the entire world. More family than friends at this point. Anyway, they both live in North Carolina, so we try and visit each other whenever we can. Recently, I went there and we ...

Creamy Vegan Cashew Curry Sauce

March 2, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Hold the phone, I just died. THIS SAUCE GIVES ME ALL THE FEELS. It is... Impossibly creamy Rich Loaded with warm, spiced curry flavor Literally delicious on anything and everything your mind can fathom pouring it on Here's the thing - I enjoy dairy a lot. I like the richness that cream, milk, and cheese brings to a dish. So I was thinking that part of paleo and Whole 30 would be a ...

Everything just gets dumped into a food processor and whirled around to smooth, mouthwatering perfection. SO easy it’s not even fair!
