Creamy Crock-Pot Salsa Verde Chicken

September 16, 2015 by Annie Chesson 23 Comments

I love recipes like this. Recipes that are so easy the shouldn't even be called "recipes." And thiiiiiiiiiiiis is that. Supa' easy. To be precise...easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. All you do is dump some stuff into a crock-pot, say "peace out," come back around dinner time, shred the chicken, stir it up, and you are good to go!! The difficulty level goes up a leeeeettle bit if you use homemade Salsa ...

Easy Chicken Pot Pie Soup (Soup Sunday!)

September 13, 2015 by Annie Chesson 44 Comments

Um, hi. This is me rejecting the end of summer and welcoming fall a few weeks early. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY IT'S FALL. Which means I can post things like this thick, comforting, perfect chicken pot pie soup :). I have been chomping at the bit to start posting fall-y recipes, and I just can't take it anymore! Sorry to everyone out there who is trying desperately to grip onto summer for the ...

Turkey, Apple, and Brie Sandwich with Apple Cider Mayo

September 10, 2015 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

Let me tell you a tale. A tale of my internet struggle this week. I have had multiple recipes ready to post all week and haven't been able to because my internet has been completely out. So you would think "why not just stay at work and post?" I tried this as well. Conveniently, every time I had extra time at work (before and after school) and tried to post, the internet went out here too. I ...

Southwest Burgerdilla

September 3, 2015 by Annie Chesson 20 Comments

Strug-fest 2015. That's what this post should actually be named. I went back and forth for days (5 days to be exact) on whether or not to post this recipe. Here was my dilemma: This burgerdilla (named for its hybrid between a burger and a quesadilla) is seriously delicious. I mean...really, really, really delicious. It is packed with so much flavor and topped with the most delicious guacamole ...

Easy French Bread Pizza

August 31, 2015 by Annie Chesson 41 Comments

Okay this is the easiest dinner EVER! Apart from slicing the red onions, you basically do no prep work. Everything is already done for you! The bread is made, the sauce is jarred (gasp! I know), the cheese is shredded, the pepperonis are sliced, and the black olives are canned. Toast bread, rub with garlic clove, assemble, bake, eeaattttttt. And it is just so good. So so so good. My homemade ...

Pasta Salad with Creamy Avocado Sauce

August 26, 2015 by Annie Chesson 31 Comments

You know why I love America? Because we can throw a few veggies in some pasta and call it "salad." True patriotism over here, I know. And don't even get me started on potato salad. Potatoes + mayonnaise + mustard = salad. 'MERICA. Pasta salad may not be the healthiest salad you can make, but you sure can lighten it up if you smother it with a creamy sauce made with healthy fat. Enter ...

Quinoa Mac and Cheese

August 21, 2015 by Annie Chesson 39 Comments

Let me just start out by saying that I was totally blown away by how much this tasted like actual mac and cheese. It tasted just like it!! Which brings me to the conclusion that mac and cheese is alllllll about the sauce. Because if it tastes just as good with quinoa as it does with macaroni, it has to be about the sauce, right?? That is my theory anyway. Which I obviously will have to test many ...

Baked Greek Yogurt Chicken Flautas

August 19, 2015 by Annie Chesson 24 Comments

Okay I know that whole "lets bake this usually-fried-item in the oven and pretend it tastes as good as the original" game. I don't like that game. I have played it before. And I don't like it. So you should trust me when I tell you about HOW GOOOODDD these baked flautas are! I was very surprised how crispy turned out just from the good ol' oven. Yum. Just...yum. You know the kind of food ...

Veggie Power Bowls with Creamy Pesto Sauce

August 17, 2015 by Annie Chesson 20 Comments

This is such a yummy, flavorful, and HEALTHY meal! The pesto is really the key here, guys. It is a very non traditional pesto - so put away your basil and pine nuts and whip out your spinach, arugula, and almonds! Proceed to whiz together and pour embarrassing amounts on every type of food in your refrigerator. This dish is packed with so much protein and healthy ingredients that it almost ...

Skinny Vegetarian Enchiladas

August 11, 2015 by Annie Chesson 35 Comments

Hello, friends! It's been a while. And this is not because I didn't set out time throughout the weekend and week to cook/blog. You know how much it sucks to be super excited about a recipe and then it not turn out well? A "fail recipe" as most people call it? Well guess how many I have had in a row? Three. THREE!!!!!! Before I got this new job, I would just pick something else to make and go ...
