Unstuffed Pepper Skillet [21 Day Fix]

February 22, 2016 by Annie Chesson 38 Comments

Oh, hello there little bowl of deliciousness. You make me so happy with your perfectly seasoned, browned turkey and veggies; hearty brown rice; and melt-y, gooey cheese ?. I am telling you right now, the 21 Day Fix does NOT restrict you from eating delicious, interesting, flavorful food. When I started this, I was concerned that it would be challenging not to do the whole meat + side veggie + ...

February 18, 2016 by Annie Chesson 28 Comments

WHEW this has been a crazy several days! I have been trying to find a spare minute to cook, photograph, and post all week. I ended up having to use artificial light for these pictures because I kept getting home after dark, and I am writing this at 9:45 pm! Like I said...cray cray week. Craaaaaay. Okay so before I start going on and on about this DELICIOUS recipe, I need to talk about the next ...

30 Minute Brown Butter Sage Gnocchi with Spinach and Pine Nuts

February 16, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Gnocchi...Gnocchi, gnocchi, gnocchi. You are so tender and potato-y and delicious. Have you ever had gnocchi before? If you haven't, YOU ARE MISSING OUT, PEOPLE! They are iiiiitttyyy bitty, tiny, cute, adorable little potato dumplings...they sound kind of weird, but they are soft and pillowy and taste like a mix between pasta and a dumpling. That might be a horrible description, but we're goin' ...

Meg’s Baked Ham and Cheese Sliders with Magic Sauce

February 12, 2016 by Annie Chesson 28 Comments

I need you to understand something about my life right now. Let's travel back to Easter last year. Seth and I were still living in Georgia, and we had an AWESOME group of friends there. So on Easter, we all went over to my friend Courtney's house and had a big Easter feast. My friend Meg brought....THESE SLIDERS. Ladies and gentlemen, it has been almost an entire year since this happened, and I ...

Baked Chicken with Tomato Cream Sauce and Capers

February 10, 2016 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Mmmm flavas. So many flavas. Perfectly seasoned, juicy chicken; tangy, rich, creamy tomato sauce; salty, bright capers. So much yumminess. You know what's awesome?? Baking chicken. You would really think that someone who is as obsessed with cooking as I am would have discovered this awesome technique earlier in life, but NO. I have baked whole chickens before, but never just chicken breasts. ...

Zuppa Toscana [Olive Garden Copycat]

February 8, 2016 by Annie Chesson 16 Comments

Have you ever been to Olive Garden? If you haven't been there, chances are you've heard of it. It's actually not my favorite restaurant ever - everything there is okay but not amazing. With one exception!! Can you guess what the exception is...? Yes! This soup! They have a soup there called "Zuppa Toscana," and it is basically my favorite thing on this whole planet. I am obsessed. If I go to ...

Easy Crock-Pot BBQ Chicken

February 3, 2016 by Annie Chesson 30 Comments

Staaahhhppp I'm in love. So obsessed with this chicken. This is seriously the EASIEST recipe ever, yet it yields probably the most flavorful and moist chicken I have ever eaten in my life. Again...I'm obsessed. You know how sometimes when you cook just meat (rather than soups/stews/etc...) in a Crock-Pot, it turns out pretty dry? Tender, yes - but also dry! It makes me sad when this happens. I ...

Chicken Tortilla Soup

February 1, 2016 by Annie Chesson 27 Comments

Yes. The answer to your question, yes, it tastes as good as it looks 👅👍😍👅. In case you missed that...it was one slurpy tongue (which signifies delicious food in my emoji dictionary - I don't know about yours), one thumbs up, one "heart eyes," and a second slurpy tongue (signifying more delicious food). This all roughly translates to the following: this soup rocks and you must make it and love it ...

Cashew Chicken

January 27, 2016 by Annie Chesson 42 Comments

Cashew chicken...one of MA FAVES when it comes to Chinese take-out. I love the different textures from the chicken, veggies, water chestnuts, and cashews. But the BEST part, in my opinion, is when the sauce kind of soaks into the cashews, softening them and loading them with delicious, saucy, flavor. You could say I am quite the expert on Chinese take-out. It is a go-to for Seth and I on lazy ...

Crispy Potato Curry [vegan + gluten free]

January 25, 2016 by Annie Chesson 27 Comments

Ah, curry. Creamy, silky, flavor packed curry. There really isn't much that can beat a really delicious curry. The word curry is starting to sound weird...curry, curry, curry. It just has so much flavor! It is the polar opposite of bland and boring. There is really no reason to make plain dinners when you can throw together a simple recipe like this one that is SO much better! So. Much. ...
