Crazy Easy Three Ingredient Pimento Mac and Cheese

June 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Guess what I found in my eleven month old son's mouth this morning? I'll give you a few minutes to ponder your guess. *** *** Dog food. It was dog food. A pellet of dog food. **Cue all the vomit emojis.** He was crawling around on our rug in the living room and I saw him bring his little fist up to his face and he looked at me, clearly with something in his mouth, and I hopped up and ran ...

Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries

March 19, 2018 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

There is a mythical, mysterious creature out there called the "crispy baked sweet potato fry." I was skeptical of its existence for a very long time after trying unsuccessful recipe after unsuccessful recipe. I finally decided that a crispy sweet potato fry is a nice theory but sadly is impossible to find and have for myself. Kind of like a unicorn. HOWEVER - my husband made sweet potato fries a ...

Fried Egg Turkey Burgers with Sweet Potato “Buns”

February 28, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Whole 30 day one is in the books, and we are makin' our way through day two right now! I think I'll have less of those Whole 30 symptoms that other people experience (like the "hangover" and super tired/pissy days at the beginning) because I was doing paleo for several weeks before this, so my body is used to this style of eating for the most part. I will say, however, that the fact that honey is ...

Instant Pot Chicken Poblano Soup

February 16, 2018 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

Soups are one of my all time favorite things to cook. There is so much versatility, and you can make them SO PAINFULLY delicious when you add a bunch of yummy flavor combinations. There are days where I'm craving the simplicity of a straight up chicken noodle soup, but most of the time I like to make soups that are a little more unique and just bursting with a slap-you-across-the-face amount of ...

Hot Cheesy Corn Dip

January 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Okay, I mean...let's just be real with each other for a second. Is there anyone out there who doesn't have an emotionally intimate moment with their computer screen when they hear words like hot+cheesy+corn+dip in one title? How could this dip possibly not be the most delicious chip topper ever when it's cheesy, creamy, and loaded with sweet kernels of corn? If I'm being honest, I could go to TOWN ...

Chicken French Dip Sandwiches

January 12, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

It is highly challenging for me to go to a restaurant, see a French Dip on the menu, and not order it. McAlister's Deli is one of our frequent post-church lunch spots on Sunday, and every time we go there, I peruse the menu, trying to lie to myself and pretend I'm actually going to order something other than the French Dip, buuutttt, alas...every single time, gimme dat French Dip, yo. They are ...
