Juicy Instant Pot Mexican Chicken

August 1, 2018 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Instant Pot meat and Crock Pot meat have never been my faves unless they are in a sauce. I've never had success with just doing straight up meat before, like these chicken breasts. But I was determined to find a way to do it successfully in the Instant Pot so that I could create a recipe for juicy chicken that could be used as a base in meals for the whole week! And we figured it out peeps. ...

Hello there, summer, may I celebrate you with the ultimate summer appetizer/snack/side i.e. grilled peaches? With a light and creamy filling? And a drizzle of black pepper honey? Aaaaand some sliced basil? Good, I'm glad you approve. A perfectly ripe peach is arguably one of my favorite things in the whole world to eat...it is tender, so sweet, and SO DELICIOUS.

Watermelon Mint Refresher

July 16, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Picture me sipping this while reclining in a soft beach chair with three, no - four, people surrounding me, fanning me with palm leaves. That is the space I automatically transfer to while drinking this ABSURDLY refreshing watermelon-y, lime-y, mint-y, slightly fizzy beverage from heaven. On the refreshing scale of 1 to 10, this watermelon refresher is a 34. Feel me? Watermelon and summer are ...

Instant Pot Italian Beef

June 25, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

You guys. I have made tons of Instant Pot recipes since I got it as a Christmas gift this past year, but - let me tell you - this is by far the easiest. It literally requires no work...unless you call searing a piece of meat in the Instant Pot and then dumping two jars of Italian goodness on top "work," becaauussee I don't. It's a zero effort prep...craziness. The jar of pepperoncinis and ...

Just kidding...but seriously...these are legitimately one of the most delicious things I've ever made or eaten.

Lemon Garlic Roasted Potatoes

May 23, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

We're gettin' real in here today with these roasted potatoes. If you think roasted potatoes belong in a colder, more wintery season, just HOLD THE PHONE. The lemon garlic sauce that these potatoes are tossed in before and after roasting + the fresh dill sprinkled over the potatoes at the end request you to rethink your position on non-summer roasted potatoes. Here's the deal with spring/summer ...

Watermelon Salsa

May 21, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

One million percent inspiration for this recipe goes to my bestie, Megan. I have two AMAZING best friends that I've known since I could barely read (aka forever), and to this day they are still two of my favorite people in the entire world. More family than friends at this point. Anyway, they both live in North Carolina, so we try and visit each other whenever we can. Recently, I went there and we ...
