Cowfish Copycat “Taste Explosion” Roll

May 30, 2015 by Annie Chesson 18 Comments

Happy Saturday! How is your weekend going? Seth and I went out to lunch today at a super yummy taco place and then just walked around downtown Columbus for a while - they were having a sidewalk flea market/farmers market type thing. We realized during the walk that we have a slightly irrational obsession with our dog. Literally 80 percent of our conversation was made up of talking about how ...

Blackened Salmon with Lime Cream

May 23, 2015 by Annie Chesson 23 Comments

This salmon. It is SO easy to make and absolutely delicious. The spice rub browns in the pan and becomes this crispy, flavor bomb coating on the outside of the salmon that pairs perfectly with the refreshing lime cream that gets drizzled on top. It is seriously a match made in heaven! When Seth tried this he said it was one of the best things I've ever made...ever...so we will definitely be ...

BBQ Pulled Pork Quesadillas

May 13, 2015 by Annie Chesson 18 Comments

I have to tell you about my obsession right now. Slow roasting a pork shoulder. Like really low and slow for five or six hours. Oh. My. Goodness. This slow roasted pork, shredded and covered in BBQ sauce, is probably one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life. And I'm not even exaggerating. I am obsessed. We made it once a few weeks ago, then again for these quesadillas, and yesterday ...

Jalapeno Popper Cheeseburger

May 11, 2015 by Annie Chesson 22 Comments

Since I was a little girl, Jalapeno Poppers have been my all time favorite snack food. BUT they have to be the kind with cheddar cheese inside...cream cheese = no go. I love finding different ways to include the flavors of Jalapeno Poppers into other foods - sandwiches, dips, or this burger! The roasted jalapenos and cheese stuffed inside the ground beef give these burgers the delicious Jalapeno ...

Flank Steak Tacos with Cilantro Lime Yogurt Sauce

April 30, 2015 by Annie Chesson 34 Comments

Alright people, listen to this craziness. So my mom is starting a business called Perfect Pregnancy ( I could take ten pages to describe what it is, but the gist is that it's a Christian based business that is all about helping and encouraging women throughout their pregnancy) and they are filming their Kickstarter video in Charlotte, NC this weekend. A huge part of Perfect Pregnancy is a book ...

Easy Veggie Lo Mein

April 21, 2015 by Annie Chesson 28 Comments

Lo Mein is probably my favorite dish to get when I go out to a Chinese restaurant. Sometimes I branch out and get something different, but whenever I do I am secretly missing my traditional Lo Mein order every time :). I'm not sure why I waited for so long to create my own Lo Mein recipe at home, but I am so happy we decided to give it a try. It was a huge hit! The tender veggies, bold, ...

Salmon Banh Mi

April 19, 2015 by Annie Chesson 20 Comments

There is this restaurant here in Georgia called Atlanta Bread Company - it's super similar to Panera but way better (at least I think so). Well there is this sandwich they make, a Salmon Banh Mi, that I am absolutely obsessed with! I get it every single time Seth and I go there and can't stop thinking the whole time about how crazy delicious it is. It has this perfect balance of flavors - crisp ...

The Best Chicken and Rice Soup

April 13, 2015 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

This really is the best Chicken and Rice Soup Ever! At least out of all the ones I've ever tried. What makes it so over-the-top-amazing? Two things in particular. 1. Rather than buying chicken stock, we just cook a whole chicken in water and that becomes the broth. We need cooked chicken anyway for the soup, why waste the flavorful water that the chicken simmers in?? So it has a super, SUPER ...

Peanut Lime Shrimp

April 8, 2015 by Annie Chesson 25 Comments

I'm not sure if you ever have these weeks, but the last three days have been so busy and exhausting that Seth and I just haven't had the time or energy to clean our apartment. So it got messy. Really messy. Especially the kitchen. And when I come home to a messy kitchen, it makes me just want to completely stay away from it and not cook (because that means I have to clean it first). And then ...

Butternut Squash Soup with Curry Roasted Chickpeas

March 31, 2015 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

Before I begin, I have a tip for this recipe. When you are transferring the leftovers to your Tupperwares after the soup is finished, try as hard as possible not to spill half the soup onto the counter/all over the front of your shirt and jeans and then spend 20 minutes cleaning up as your dog eats half the leftovers. Okay now that we covered that, moving on! This soup tastes as good as it looks! ...
