And who can disagree that a spoon of cookie dough is one of the best things on this planet?? I love that I can feel like I'm having a hunk of cookie dough when it's actually a healthy treat.

Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies with Mustard Sauce (dairy free, paleo)

May 10, 2021 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies with Mustard Sauce - This easy dinner comes together in no time but feels fancy and luxurious with the smooth, creamy mustard sauce! A huge weeknight win. Dairy free, paleo, whole 30.

Sheet pan dinners are a whole new level of dinner win for me. I love one pot dinners SO much, but sheet pan dinners are an even higher step towards dinner glory than one pot dinners because everything goes down in the oven where there is zero babysitting, AND I think sheet pans are easier to clean. Sometimes sheet pan dinners tend to be a little boring - roasted meat beside roasted veggies. I ...

2 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls

April 26, 2021 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

2 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls - These healthy treats are SO easy to make, only require 2 ingredients, and satiate that sweet tooth in the best way.

When we did our first round of Whole 30 years ago, I found out I was pregnant about half way through, and from the second I become pregnant to the second my babies are born, I crave sweets like NOBODY'S BUSINESS. But on Whole 30 you can't have sweets. We were at the grocery store one week, and I found these things called date rolls - only ingredients were unsweetened coconut and dates, which ...

Easy, One Pot Coconut Basil Chicken - This SUPER EASY dinner is absolutely delicious over cauliflower rice or any grain. The delicious, aromatic sauce soaks into whatever you serve it over, and it is too good for words! TheGarlicDiaries.com

This eight ingredient dinner (not including whatever you serve it over) is not only incredibly easy to make, it is LOADED with flavor thanks to the garlic, shallot, ginger, lime zest, basil, and coconut milk. All of that goodness simmers together just until the chicken is cooked through, and it is pure heaven! Since we were just doing whole 30, I served this with cauliflower rice, but I've made ...

Whole 30 Bolognese with Dairy Free “Ricotta”

January 7, 2021 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Whole 30 Bolognese with Dairy Free "Ricotta" - talk about some satisfying comfort food, this bolognese is deeply flavorful, hearty, and so comforting folded into a bowl of noodles, zoodles, or spaghetti squash!

This low and slow, simple ingredient, HUG IN A BOWL will make your whole week warm and cozy. I'm not sure there's a more delicious pasta sauce than a bolognese. It's full of flavor-rich ingredients, and it simmers for two hours (or three, if you want), allowing those flavors to deepen and intensify even more. Toss this goodness with some zoodles or spaghetti squash (or regular noodles if you ...

Date Night Creamy Roasted Vegetable Risotto

November 12, 2020 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Date Night Creamy Roasted Vegetable Risotto - The risotto is creamy and loaded with flavor, there’s a tender, roasted vegetable in every bite, and the combination of everything is a date night dream. Bonus - it’s dairy free! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Date-night-ins are wonderful for a few reasons: If you have kids, getting a babysitter can be expensive and a little complicated. I know that for us - especially now that we hvae 3 kids, one of which is still super young - we don't leave a babysitter to handle bedtime on her own. Less because we are worried about the kids being okay and more because I don't really want to strap a solo ...
