Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Dough Bites - These healthy treats are easy to make, taste JUST like a ball of cookie dough, and will satisfy your sweet tooth in a healthy way! The best.

These are one of my favorite things in the world. They are healthy, easy, and taste EXACTLY like a ball of cookie dough. And who can disagree that a spoon of cookie dough is one of the best things on this planet?? I love that I can feel like I'm having a hunk of cookie dough when it's actually a healthy treat.

Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies with Mustard Sauce (dairy free, paleo)

May 10, 2021 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies with Mustard Sauce - This easy dinner comes together in no time but feels fancy and luxurious with the smooth, creamy mustard sauce! A huge weeknight win. Dairy free, paleo, whole 30.

Sheet pan dinners are a whole new level of dinner win for me. I love one pot dinners SO much, but sheet pan dinners are an even higher step towards dinner glory than one pot dinners because everything goes down in the oven where there is zero babysitting, AND I think sheet pans are easier to clean. Sometimes sheet pan dinners tend to be a little boring - roasted meat beside roasted veggies. I ...

2 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls

April 26, 2021 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

2 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls - These healthy treats are SO easy to make, only require 2 ingredients, and satiate that sweet tooth in the best way.

When we did our first round of Whole 30 years ago, I found out I was pregnant about half way through, and from the second I become pregnant to the second my babies are born, I crave sweets like NOBODY'S BUSINESS. But on Whole 30 you can't have sweets. We were at the grocery store one week, and I found these things called date rolls - only ingredients were unsweetened coconut and dates, which ...

Roasted Salmon with Mediterranean Salsa

Roasted Salmon with Mediterranean Salsa - Such an easy, healthy, hearty, and satisfying dinner that comes together in no time! The salmon is tender and juicy, the salsa is packed with unbelievable amounts of flavor - it'll be a new favorite for sure!

This salmon is one of my new all time favorite things to make. It's SO easy (the easiest way to make salmon ever - just pop it in the oven and "buy byeeeee" for fifteen minutes), the salsa on top is fresh and LOADED with flavor, and the whole thing is a healthy, hearty, satisfying week night meal! When I make this, I prep the salsa during nap time, and when it's dinner time, all I have to do is ...

Easy One Pot Coconut Basil Chicken

February 1, 2021 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Easy, One Pot Coconut Basil Chicken - This SUPER EASY dinner is absolutely delicious over cauliflower rice or any grain. The delicious, aromatic sauce soaks into whatever you serve it over, and it is too good for words! TheGarlicDiaries.com

This eight ingredient dinner (not including whatever you serve it over) is not only incredibly easy to make, it is LOADED with flavor thanks to the garlic, shallot, ginger, lime zest, basil, and coconut milk. All of that goodness simmers together just until the chicken is cooked through, and it is pure heaven! Since we were just doing whole 30, I served this with cauliflower rice, but I've made ...

Whole 30 Bolognese with Dairy Free “Ricotta”

January 7, 2021 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Whole 30 Bolognese with Dairy Free "Ricotta" - talk about some satisfying comfort food, this bolognese is deeply flavorful, hearty, and so comforting folded into a bowl of noodles, zoodles, or spaghetti squash!

This low and slow, simple ingredient, HUG IN A BOWL will make your whole week warm and cozy. I'm not sure there's a more delicious pasta sauce than a bolognese. It's full of flavor-rich ingredients, and it simmers for two hours (or three, if you want), allowing those flavors to deepen and intensify even more. Toss this goodness with some zoodles or spaghetti squash (or regular noodles if you ...

November 24, 2020 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Meaty Vodka Sauce - The al dente spaghetti squash, the hearty, flavor-bomb (and also easy!) vodka sauce, the tender bites of sausage - it’s a dream combo!

This takes your traditional spaghetti dinner to THE NEXT LEVEL, fam. The spaghetti squash is such a fun/extra healthy alternative to the traditional spaghetti (and is a GREAT way to sneak in some veggies), the sauce is loaded with insane amounts of flavor, there are tender morsels of delicious sausage in every bite, and the whole thing just comes together to form THE best bite! This is a ...

Dairy Free 5 Minute Hot Cocoa - THE BEST dairy free hot cocoa in the world! It’s rich, it’s soooo chocolatey, and it tastes zero percent like it’s dairy free - you’ll never know the difference!

Ohhhhhhh man, you guys, I have been so excited to post this. I recipe tested this dairy free hot cocoa SO many different ways before landing on the perfect version.

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 ...
