Ultimate Spanish Crostini – Our “Try The World” Box!

October 7, 2015 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

I want to start off by thanking Try The World for sending me their Spain themed box and allowing me to use their ingredients to create yummy recipes ?. You guys rock! I don't know if you feel the same way, but I think that receiving and opening packages is probably one of the best things ever, especially when they are filled with delicious surprise ingredients! From the day Try The World ...

Roasted Veggie Tart with Gouda and Herbed Cream Cheese

September 29, 2015 by Annie Chesson 20 Comments

?. That is all I have to say...?. Because what could describe this delicious tart better than a "heart-for-eyes" emoji? Nothing........duh. Sooo...this tart. IT'S SO GOOD. Layers and layers of flavor and deliciousness. First layer = Flaky puff pastry dough. If you can't find it (me! What up with the lack of puff pastry dough, Kansas???), you can use Pillsbury biscuit dough instead. Second ...

Turkey Chili Boats

September 25, 2015 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

I really can't take credit for these yummy Turkey Chili Boats - it was all Seth. He has talked so many times over the years about this invention he came up with at Wendy's (yes, the fast food place) called "Chili Boats." He is quite proud of it. This is basically what you do: order a baked potato from Wendy's. Order chili from Wendy's. Mix together toppings into the baked potato. Pour in chili. ...

Baked Buffalo Chicken Bites

September 18, 2015 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Ah, football season. Few things are more exciting to me than football season. So exciting, in fact, that Seth and I decided to shell out forty bucks a month for Direct TV juuuuust so that we could get the NFL Sunday Ticket for free. Woop woop! Totes worth it. Why not just get regular cable, you may ask? Good question! When you move to the smack-dab middle of the country, the local sports ...

Southwest Burgerdilla

September 3, 2015 by Annie Chesson 20 Comments

Strug-fest 2015. That's what this post should actually be named. I went back and forth for days (5 days to be exact) on whether or not to post this recipe. Here was my dilemma: This burgerdilla (named for its hybrid between a burger and a quesadilla) is seriously delicious. I mean...really, really, really delicious. It is packed with so much flavor and topped with the most delicious guacamole ...

Easy French Bread Pizza

August 31, 2015 by Annie Chesson 41 Comments

Okay this is the easiest dinner EVER! Apart from slicing the red onions, you basically do no prep work. Everything is already done for you! The bread is made, the sauce is jarred (gasp! I know), the cheese is shredded, the pepperonis are sliced, and the black olives are canned. Toast bread, rub with garlic clove, assemble, bake, eeaattttttt. And it is just so good. So so so good. My homemade ...

Perfect Bruschetta

August 24, 2015 by Annie Chesson 52 Comments

I am kind of obsessed with bruschetta. Aaaand by kind of obsessed I mean one hundred percent obsessed. Obviously. Which is really very strange because I don't like tomatoes. I don't despise them but I don't enjoy them. And what is bruschetta? Tomatoes. Ninety percent tomatoes. But for some reason when you add some garlic, salt, pepper, basil, and a touch of balsamic vinegar to the tomatoes they ...

Baked Greek Yogurt Chicken Flautas

August 19, 2015 by Annie Chesson 24 Comments

Okay I know that whole "lets bake this usually-fried-item in the oven and pretend it tastes as good as the original" game. I don't like that game. I have played it before. And I don't like it. So you should trust me when I tell you about HOW GOOOODDD these baked flautas are! I was very surprised how crispy turned out just from the good ol' oven. Yum. Just...yum. You know the kind of food ...

Thai Meatball Lettuce Wraps

July 20, 2015 by Annie Chesson 79 Comments

I have a new obsession. And that obsession is Thai food. It all started a few months ago when Seth and I ran in the Spartan Race that I talked a little bit about here, and afterwards went out to eat with his family at a Thai restaurant in Charlotte called Basil. So before eating at this delicious restaurant, I was under the impression that I hated curry with a burning passion. Which still isn't ...
