December 12, 2017 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

I'm bout to have some Italians chasing me down with pitchforks for using the oxymoron "Vegetarian Bolognese"...but wait! It's yummy. And it looks like a bolognese. And it feels like a bolognese.

I realize that I just created a vegetarian version of a super traditionally meat loaded sauce...kind of like saying "Vegetarian Fried ...

Orange Chicken

December 1, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Pizza and Chinese takeout = two of my lifetime staples. I mean, let's just talk about the wonderfulness of these two items real quick. Firstly, they are both delicious. Secondly, they can both be delivered to your door or picked up on your way home. Thirdly, they are both delicious. The deliciousness deserved two points. BUT - problem: both of these food items are super calorie/fat/carb loaded ...

The Easiest Roasted Butternut Squash

November 16, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This really is the easiest thing ever. I discovered its simplicity when I was roasting up my squash for this Butternut Mac and Cheese. I was going for the easiest and tiniest amount of prep possible since it was part of another recipe, but it ended up being SUUPPPAAA BOSS. I was close to just stopping and making it its own recipe right then and there, but I decided to wait and finish up the Mac ...
