Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli

February 13, 2019 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

I basically find myself craving Chinese takeout all the time...for SURE multiple times a week. Why? Is it because it tastes so dang good or is it because of the simplicity of just being able to run in and grab it from the counter and peace out, maybe sneaking a few bites in the car on the way home 😬? It's probably a combo of both. The problem with this is that Chinese takeout is usually ...

Coconut Curry Ramen Revamp

January 23, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

One of my hubby and I's favorite things to do is upgrade those little 99 cent ramen packs you get at the store (aka that sustained you throughout your college years) into something a little fancier and more extra. Usually we just add some veggies and maybe a little garlic and ginger + a shot of soy sauce, but sometimes we will go real fancy and really throw some extra goodies in there. Eating ...

Did you all have the best Thanksgiving ever?? I hope it was one for the books, and I hope you are still polishing off the rest of those delicious leftovers.

12 Yummy Ways to Use up Thanksgiving Leftovers

November 20, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Thanksgiving = a holiday totally centered around food.

Bourbon Brown Sugar Glazed Ham

November 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Um, please stand by while I overcome an emotional moment while g(L)azing (get it?!) at the crunchy exterior of this ham... - - - Thank you for your patience. People, you have not lived unless this ham has been in your life. This literally takes any ham I've ever had and slaps it across the country to a land where mediocre hams are welcome, because they ARE NO LONGER WELCOME ...

Baked 3 Cheese Mac and Cheese

November 13, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I'm a firm - FIRM - believer in mac and cheese being a mandatory element of a successful and delicious Thanksgiving spread. I've found two parties here: people that are with me and see it as a necessary accompaniment just like stuffing or mashed potatoes, and then the people who never include it with their other sides. If you are in that second group...why? Who hurt you? Jk. BUT let's talk ...

Okay, wait. Wait, wait, and wait. Have you ever tried a wedge of apple that is topped with a slice of cheddar cheese? Have you?? If not - Ima need you to add apples and cheddar cheese to your grocery list so you can experience this snack. If you've never heard of this, this probably sounds gross and crazy and weird to you.

All-The-Award Winning Southwest Chicken Chili

October 26, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Alright people, this chili is a family legend, and my in-laws have gracefully granted me permission to share it on the blog. It started with my husband's second cousins, Led and Connie. This was their chili recipe initially, and they would make it for the kids at a camp they ran every year where they live in Colorado. It eventually got passed down to my mother and father-in-law, Rhonda and Ed, ...
