Date Night Creamy Roasted Vegetable Risotto

November 12, 2020 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Date Night Creamy Roasted Vegetable Risotto - The risotto is creamy and loaded with flavor, there’s a tender, roasted vegetable in every bite, and the combination of everything is a date night dream. Bonus - it’s dairy free! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Date-night-ins are wonderful for a few reasons: If you have kids, getting a babysitter can be expensive and a little complicated. I know that for us - especially now that we hvae 3 kids, one of which is still super young - we don't leave a babysitter to handle bedtime on her own. Less because we are worried about the kids being okay and more because I don't really want to strap a solo ...

Whole 30 Beefy Potato Soup - This simple, delicious soup is comforting, hearty, and so deeply flavorful! It’ll warm you up on any chilly day. TheGarlicDiaries.com

Liiightly sad as I write this because my three year old was sitting on my lap while I was working at my desk, and it was a sweet little moment. Then my (almost) two year old wanted a turn, so he was sitting with me and it was equally adorable. Then both of them left me, leaving me with the parting gift of a certain substance on my sweater. I'll leave the details to your imagination because this is ...

Caramelized Onion and Fontina Cast Iron Pizzas

June 18, 2020 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Caramelized Onion and Fontina Pizza with Arugula - This delicious pizza is a little bit sweet and super savory, all finished off with a peppery bite of fresh arugula! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Pizza is one of my top five favorite foods - call me basic and boring, but I LOVE IT DEEPLY. We have tried several ways to make pizza at home and achieve that crispy bottom crust without a pizza stone, but we hadn't ever had much success. Pizza stones are great, but they are giant and HEAVY, and I've never been good at transferring a pizza from the peel to the stone. I wanted an easy at-home ...
