Chipotle Chicken Chili

September 27, 2017 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Let's go to a chili crawl and eat allllllll tha chilis. Have you ever heard of a chili crawl? I hadn't heard of one until this past weekend when there was one going on in town. Basically all the restaurants in this one area all made chili, and you would go from restaurant to restaurant trying the different variations and voting for the best one. Doesn't that sound like fun?! In my wildest ...

The Trick to THE Juiciest Chicken Breasts

June 19, 2017 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Chicken breasts are so blah. I am just not a huge fan...they almost always turn out dry and boring. I don't mind using chicken in things, but I almost never ever just sear up a chicken breast for dinner. So this recipe didn't come about from me experimenting - the creds for these babies go to my husband, Seth. We got hungry SUPER late at night this past weekend (because we had had popcorn a few ...

25 Minute Tortellini and Veggie Saute

June 16, 2017 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Anyone who comes up with recipes (like a food blogger!) finds random inspiration from various things. Something you eat at a restaurant, something you see on the Food Network, Pinterest (🙌🏻), a dish a friend or family member cooks for you, or other completely random things. This dish has a strange inspiration. A Lean Cuisine...fancy right? I got several frozen meals at the grocery store ...

One Skillet Beef and Cheese Enchiladas

June 14, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

These enchiladas are so much fun...everything - e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g - is made in the same skillet! The filling is made in the skillet, the sauce is made in the skillet, and the enchiladas bake in the skillet. That means a few different things...1 - You can feel super cool and efficient. 2 - You have way less cleanup...way less. 3 - Layers of flaaaava. P.S. I am done buying canned enchilada ...

Roasted Cauliflower Tikka Masala

June 12, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This recipe makes me the happiest camper out of all the other campers in the entire camp. I love fun spins on classic dishes, and the fact that we use roasted cauliflower as a replacement for chicken in this recipe makes this count as a fun spin 😉. I don't eat cauliflower very often. It's not that I dislike it, it's just not my all-time favorite vegetable. When I was younger, my dad would ...

Rainbow Veggie Rice Noodle Stir-Fry

June 9, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

So there's this restaurant here called Hu Hot, and it's one of those Mongolian Grill places where you "build a bowl," and they cook it on this big flat top next to everyone else's bowls. Sanitation score? Questionable. Flavor? #Bomb. My brother Lawson looooooves this place, so it's not uncommon that after church we end up heading over to Hu Hot for our weekly post-church lunch tradition. I ...

Blackened Fish Tacos with Cucumber Salsa

June 7, 2017 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Well, hello there, fish taco. You are such a delicious spring and summer meal that leaves me feeling light, refreshed, and oh so satisfied. Let's be friends forever and make winter never come so that it's always warm and we can hang out every day. Cold weather food is comfy and cozy, and I will say that it's probably my favorite type of food, but meals like this make me question that ...

Chipotle Sweet Potato and Chickpea Burgers

June 5, 2017 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

WHEW this weekend was crazy! We had family here from Friday until today, and we constantly had stuff going on. (This was for Seth and I's baby shower this past weekend in case you didn't read my last post.) It was a good crazy, though! Lots of family was here, so we got to catch up with a bunch of people and spend some good quality time with everyone. The shower was fun, too! It was super chill ...

Spicy Curried Carrot Soup

May 31, 2017 by Annie Chesson 11 Comments

This soup makes me happy. The flavor makes me happy. The color makes me happy. The texture makes me happy. And making it makes me happy. It's not super often that you find really unique and different soups. For the most part, they are pretty standard and include a lot of the same ingredients. So this soup is a breath of fresh air for the world of soup-lovers (....me) out there! This carrot soup ...

One Pot Three Cheese Mac and Cheese

May 2, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

"Three Cheese Mac and Cheese"...sounds kinda repetitive doesn't it? The thought crossed my mind, but then I asked myself, how could you ever say no to a recipe title that uses the word "cheese" twice? So I left it, because two cheeses in one title = a winning meal. Because cheese is bae. And so is mac and cheese. And so are one pot meals. I know...I need to stop with the one pot pastas. I need ...
