Baked Gnocchi with Blistered Tomato Parmesan Sauce

December 7, 2016 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Wait...I just peaked. I might as well quit blogging now, because this is as delicious as food can possibly get. My career is oveerrrrrrr 😭😭😭. But for real...this baked gnocchi is my love language. Have you ever played the game Desert Island where you go around and say the three things you would bring if you were stranded on an island somewhere like ma' man Tom Hanks and his friend Wilson? ...

Cheesy Potato Soup

November 4, 2016 by Annie Chesson 7 Comments

Oh, a bowl of warm, comforting, thick, rich, CHEESY baked potato soup, you say? Yes please. I'll have seven bowls. Especially if they are in cute little pumpkin bowls like pictured above. I mean...if it doesn't have pumpkin in the recipe, I gotta throw some fall in their somehow. No pumpkin? Pumpkin bowls. Seems legit. Potato soup has always been one of my favorite meals. It was one of my mom's ...

Chicken Tikka Masala

October 21, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

My brother, Lyndon, and his wife, Amanda, came to visit this summer, and they made all kinds of awesome food. Amanda really loves to cook, too, and she's awesome at it. One night, her and Lyndon made Tikka Masala, aaaaannd I was freakin' out. It was SO good. So flavorful. So saucy. Perfectly spicy. Did I mention flavorful? Because the flavor was on point, people. So obviously I told them I was ...

Crock Pot Spaghetti Sauce

October 17, 2016 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Spaghetti sauce is just one of those things that you have to make from scratch. I mean...I guess you don't HAVE to, but it's just so dang easy to do! It's not like making pizza dough from scratch, where you have to knead it for several minutes, let it rest, roll it out, etc...(though I do love making pizza dough ❤️??). With spaghetti sauce, you just throw a few ingredients together and let it ...

Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup

October 12, 2016 by Annie Chesson 11 Comments

I am creating a scale for comfort food. On one end, we have cold salad that you are eating while sitting in an uncomfortable chair, wearing super tight pants (the tight pants are key). On the other end, we have a steaming bowl of thick soup that you are eating while curled up in a blanket, sitting on your cushy couch in front of the fire place while it is snowing outside. We will call the salad a ...

Roasted Tomato Soup

October 5, 2016 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Tomato soup and grilled cheese HAS to be one of the most comforting and delicious combinations in the entire world. Agreed? Agreed. The way I've always made tomato soup is sauteing some veggies, adding canned tomatoes, and letting that cook in a pot for however long you want. But this tomato soup uses fresh roasted tomatoes - no cans here. GET OUT OF HERE, CANS! The difference in flavor is ...

Skinny Pumpkin Alfredo

October 3, 2016 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Fall is officially in full swing over here at the Chesson household, people. I've got my fall placemats out, my ceramic pumpkin on the kitchen table, my pumpkin scented candles strategically placed in various locations around the house...you name it, IT'S HAPPENING. And I am loving every second of it while basking in this wonderful fall weather. Speaking of fall weather...I'm obsessed. Obsessed. ...

Quick and Simple 5 Ingredient Teriyaki Chicken

Okay, this is officially the easiest recipe that has ever been posted on the internet. Or written in any cookbook. Or put on YouTube. To reiterate...THIS IS THE EASIEST RECIPE EVER. It only takes five ingredients and twenty minutes to make! The supa short time and craycray few ingredients aren't what make this recipe so awesome, though... What makes it so awesome is how BOMB it tastes despite the ...

Crispy Slow Roasted Carnitas

August 31, 2016 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

If you ever stumbled across this post from a while back, you know alllllll about my intense love of slow roasted pork shoulder (aka pork butt [aka Boston butt]). Rubbing all kinds of delicious spices over that delicious hunk of meat, throwing it in a heavy pot, and poppin' that baby in the oven to cook low and slow for several hours? My love language. There are not many things I love ...

Okay...let me just start by pointing out that I know I say what I'm about to say a lot: "This is the best thing ever." And I can truly tell you that I fully believe my descriptions every single time! I will never rave about a recipe that I'm actually not that crazy about. So...you have to believe me and try not to roll your eyes when I say that this is SERIOUSLY the best flank steak I have ever ...
