Maple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Cups

October 9, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

When you are a parent, the more super quick and easy shortcuts you can take with various things throughout the day are KEY.Β  I am a big fan of these shortcuts when it comes to breakfast. My son loves breakfast - it's the best he eats all day - baaasically an adult portion of food. What I usually do is make him a protein pancake (Kodiak Cakes FTW) and a smoothie. He loves the pancake, it's not ...

Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate

October 4, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

First instruction that is absolutely mandatory in order for us to continue with this conversation: go to your kitchen pantry, grab all those little Swiss Miss instant hot chocolate packets, and throw them away or put them in a box to donate. STAT. GO DO IT. Okay, now that that's all worked out, say hello to this delicious homemade hot chocolate that is baaaaaasically just as easy as throwing ...

Instant Pot Garlic Butter Green Beans

August 29, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

These green beans literally have a constant presence in my fridge, you guys. You can almost always find a tupperware full of them ready to be devoured at any moment. The reason = my one year old will go. to. TOWN. on these babies! He literally shoves them in his mouth by the chubby fist full. They are probs his favorite vegetable, and because they are so easy and quick to make, it seems like we ...

Curry Chicken Salad

August 22, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Chicken salad can be preeetttyy iffy for me. Sometimes it can just be a pile of dry chicken coated in what seems to be straight mayo...hard pass. I don't love it when it's made with canned chicken, and I definitely don't love it if I can taste the mayo. If it's made with rotisserie chicken, that's better, but the best case scenario is this (πŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌ) right here, friends! This chicken salad has a ...

Creamy Chicken and Fresh Corn Casserole

August 20, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This casserole is summer and fall holding hands and skipping down the street together. It is THE perfect recipe for those of us who are still enjoying summer in all its warmth, sunny days, pool visits, and fresh, ripe veggies but are also cautiously excited to welcome fall into our homes with its comforting, "curl up on the couch with a blanket when you get back from pumpkin picking" feel. It ...

Hidden Veggie Marinara (great for kids!)

August 17, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

You may only enter this post if all children under the age of ten aren't in visual range of your computer screen. You must answer TWO secret questions to pass the mom test and prove that you are not, indeed, a small child. The questions follow: How many days has it been since you have showered? How many goldfish and/or other cracker crumbs are in the back seat of your car currently? If ...

Instant Pot Mexican Chicken Stew

August 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Soo...on a scale of one to ten, how mad are you about me posting a stew recipe in the 100 degree August heat? I know this is a sin in some of your homes. Spring and summer are the months where your soup pots get put away, you put your right hand on the Bible, and you solemnly swear not to eat any comfort food until September at the earliest. If that's you, can we still be friends? Can you pop ...

Coconut Mango Rice

August 10, 2018 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

I love rice. It is so soft and tender and delicious, not to mention the perfect base for so many yummy things. I especially love rice when it is loaded UP with creaminess and flavor like πŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌ. This rice is cooked in coconut milk and then fresh, pureed mango is stirred in at the end, leaving you with a rich, creamy, slightly sweet, bright, fresh, and flavor bomb pot of rice. Seth kept saying ...

August 3, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Let me just paint a quick picture for you here, friends. It's a busy week day, whether you are at home or at work, and before you know it, your stomach is grumbling, you look at the clock, and it's already lunch time. You scan your mind for what you have in your fridge/what you brought to work for lunch, and - ding! - you remember that you did an awesome, wonderful thing for yourself and meal ...
