Grilled Veggie Tacos with Cilantro Lime Yogurt

June 12, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Okay so here’s the thing, I am not vegetarian. I eat meat a decent amount. And I also love tacos. Now that we have all that covered, these are MY FAVORITE tacos ever. And, like I said, I love tacos. Love. These take the cake, fam - no meat and all! The lightly charred tortillas. The simple avocado mash at the base. The medley of perfectly grilled veggies that have the delicious smokey, charred ...

May 1, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Is it just me, or are buffalo wings the life of every party? It's not uncommon for me to crave something smothered in buffalo sauce daily weekly. Ultra crispy crunchy buffalo wings are one of my fave things in the delicious world of food! But - game changer - have you ever tried buffalo shrimp? You've still got the crispy crunchy, you've still got the buffalo flavor, but instead of chicken ...

Turkey and Black Bean Bell Pepper “Nachos”

April 5, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Picture this: you are craving nachos (because who doesn't on the daily?), but you don't necessarily want to load up on a bunch of fried tortilla chips and make yourself feel less than awesome for the rest of the evening. So instead, you cook up a delicious nacho filling with ground turkey, black beans, and taco seasoning. And then you take that heavenly mixture and load it into some lightly ...

First things first, I need everyone to drop everything they are doing and focus on only this for the next ten minutes, because it is absolutely mandatory that you understand the magic of this shrimp. This is my favorite new recipe, and I have made it twice within one week (and have another bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer to make it again)! It. Is. Revolutionary. Reasons: It no joke takes ...

Nooch Popcorn

March 18, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Homemade popcorn is one of my all time favorite things to eat. I can crush an insane amount of it in one sitting - it's slightly inhuman. Most people I know aren't super used to making homemade popcorn, but it is SO easy, and it's a million times better, IMO. I use something called a Whirley Pop, but you can use a lot of different things. I've seen air poppers for popcorn that are pretty cool, ...

Quinoa Walnut Taco Meat

March 11, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Taco night needs to be a mandatory occasion in households across America. Can we all get on board with this? Tacos are such a delicious, simple, and homey dinner! I know a lot of families that have a specific night every single week where the family loads up on as many tacos as they can pack in their bellies, and I also know that when tacos are a weekly occasion, it's good to be able to switch ...

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, ...
