One Pot Cast Iron Chicken Pot Pie

October 22, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

You guys know how much I love super simple but absurdly delicious meals. Also you know how much I love fall and winter comfort food. ALSO you know how much I love chicken pot pie. If you don't know these things, hi! I'm Annie, and these things make me happy. And chicken pot pie is one of my all time fave meals.

Fettuccine and Meatballs with Butternut Squash Sauce

October 19, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Okay, pause what you're doing. Did you know that you can make a super creamy, luxurious, smooth, velvety sauce that consists 95 percent of pureed butternut squash? This sauce is smoother and creamier than any cheese sauce I've seen, and it's literally butternut squash with just half a cup of mascarpone cheese and half a cup of parmesan stirred in for some extra flavor/creaminess. The combo of ...

Absolute Easiest No-Fuss Lasagna

October 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

One of my favorite things in the world to do is make my totally from scratch lasagna. I mean like SUPER from scratch: homemade pasta, homemade sauce - we even home make the ricotta (actually super easy). I make it when there's a really special occasion or when I'm feeling like spending an afternoon in the kitchen cooking something super labor intensive, because that can be calming and therapeutic ...

Instant Pot Beef Stew

October 12, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Can we just...can I just....can you just...LOOK HOW COMFORTING THIS IS. As I am writing this post, it is forty degrees and super gray and rainy outside my window. Do you know how hard I could go for a piping hot bowl of this beef stew right now?! There are no words. The broth is ridiculously thick, rich, and loaded with flavor from the meat and veggies that have pressure cooked into the liquid ...

Beef Stroganoff

October 1, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Can I just start by saying that this is like THE definition of comfort food? Noodles smothered in a creamy, flavorful sauce loaded up with tender ground beef, mushrooms, onion, and garlic. It's just GOOD - that's the best way to describe it. Just straight up good food. Beef stroganoff is one of those cafeteria slash frozen food classics that you always seem to see. I'm talking the overcooked ...

Fresh Tomato Pasta

September 26, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

WHEW - alright people, we are settled back at home in Kansas after a 3 + week long trip to North Carolina. Seth had a 3 week training in Georgia, and we have tons of family and friends in North Carolina just a few states away (almost said one state and then checked myself and looked at a US map...Lord please never let me teach geography), so Ford and I decided to tag along and hang out in North ...

Bruschetta Panzanella Salad

August 27, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Let's talk about the beautiful thing that is panzanella. Have you ever heard of it before? Ever eaten it? If you don't know what it is, allow me to drop some knowledge on you...panzanella is literally bread salad. Bread. Salad. Italy, you really, REALLY came through for us here, friend. Panzanella (no big shocker here) is one of my all time favorite salads. I've made lots of different kinds, my ...

Creamy Chicken and Fresh Corn Casserole

August 20, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This casserole is summer and fall holding hands and skipping down the street together. It is THE perfect recipe for those of us who are still enjoying summer in all its warmth, sunny days, pool visits, and fresh, ripe veggies but are also cautiously excited to welcome fall into our homes with its comforting, "curl up on the couch with a blanket when you get back from pumpkin picking" feel. It ...

Instant Pot Mexican Chicken Stew

August 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Soo...on a scale of one to ten, how mad are you about me posting a stew recipe in the 100 degree August heat? I know this is a sin in some of your homes. Spring and summer are the months where your soup pots get put away, you put your right hand on the Bible, and you solemnly swear not to eat any comfort food until September at the earliest. If that's you, can we still be friends? Can you pop ...

Coconut Mango Rice

August 10, 2018 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

I love rice. It is so soft and tender and delicious, not to mention the perfect base for so many yummy things. I especially love rice when it is loaded UP with creaminess and flavor like πŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌ. This rice is cooked in coconut milk and then fresh, pureed mango is stirred in at the end, leaving you with a rich, creamy, slightly sweet, bright, fresh, and flavor bomb pot of rice. Seth kept saying ...
