Vegetarian Bolognese Sauce

December 12, 2017 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

I'm bout to have some Italians chasing me down with pitchforks for using the oxymoron "Vegetarian Bolognese"...but wait! It's yummy. And it looks like a bolognese. And it feels like a bolognese. And it has a lot of the same ingredients...so, can we still be frands? I realize that I just created a vegetarian version of a super traditionally meat loaded sauce...kind of like saying "Vegetarian Fried ...

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Maple Butter Sauce

December 4, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Oh. My. Gosh. This is the epitome of food. Literally I cannot even tell you the love I have for this dish. It is ABSOLUTELY one of my all time favorite recipes, and I could honestly and truly eat it every single day and be happy forever. The gnocchi is tender with a slightly sweet earthiness from the sweet potato, the sauce is rich and savory with a subtle maple flavor and a hint of garlic...it's ...

Orange Chicken

December 1, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Pizza and Chinese takeout = two of my lifetime staples. I mean, let's just talk about the wonderfulness of these two items real quick. Firstly, they are both delicious. Secondly, they can both be delivered to your door or picked up on your way home. Thirdly, they are both delicious. The deliciousness deserved two points. BUT - problem: both of these food items are super calorie/fat/carb loaded ...

Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese

November 6, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Mac and cheese that has zero butter and flour but instead is loaded with a bunch of pureed butternut squash...GET YOU SOME. You guys...so many good things to say about this recipe. This takes a regular mac and cheese and adds such an awesome element of earthiness with a smooth, velvety texture from that butternut squash. The way you make this is similar to how you would make a regular mac and ...

One Pot Steak Fajita Pasta

November 3, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Are you proud of me for taking such a long break from one pot pastas?? I was getting redundant there a while ago and decided to take a little one-pot pasta reprive and not over do it...which...can you actually do? I mean, does one ever actually get enough of one pot pastas?? They are basically the best and most efficient dinners ever. All your stuff, pasta included, cooks in one pot. How do up ...

Pork Shoulder and Roasted Tomatillo Stew

November 1, 2017 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

And the new upcoming trendy food item of 2018 goes tooooooo...hominy! JK there's probs no way that's going to happen. I rarely see hominy used in recipes. In fact, this is only the second time that I've ever even cooked with it or tasted it. The first time was in college when I was following someone else's recipe, and it was a vegetarian chili verde. But now...oh man, the hominy bug has bit me ...
