Roasted Cauliflower Tikka Masala

June 12, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This recipe makes me the happiest camper out of all the other campers in the entire camp. I love fun spins on classic dishes, and the fact that we use roasted cauliflower as a replacement for chicken in this recipe makes this count as a fun spin 😉. I don't eat cauliflower very often. It's not that I dislike it, it's just not my all-time favorite vegetable. When I was younger, my dad would ...

Rainbow Veggie Rice Noodle Stir-Fry

June 9, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

So there's this restaurant here called Hu Hot, and it's one of those Mongolian Grill places where you "build a bowl," and they cook it on this big flat top next to everyone else's bowls. Sanitation score? Questionable. Flavor? #Bomb. My brother Lawson looooooves this place, so it's not uncommon that after church we end up heading over to Hu Hot for our weekly post-church lunch tradition. I ...

Blackened Fish Tacos with Cucumber Salsa

June 7, 2017 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Well, hello there, fish taco. You are such a delicious spring and summer meal that leaves me feeling light, refreshed, and oh so satisfied. Let's be friends forever and make winter never come so that it's always warm and we can hang out every day. Cold weather food is comfy and cozy, and I will say that it's probably my favorite type of food, but meals like this make me question that ...

Spicy Curried Carrot Soup

May 31, 2017 by Annie Chesson 11 Comments

This soup makes me happy. The flavor makes me happy. The color makes me happy. The texture makes me happy. And making it makes me happy. It's not super often that you find really unique and different soups. For the most part, they are pretty standard and include a lot of the same ingredients. So this soup is a breath of fresh air for the world of soup-lovers (....me) out there! This carrot soup ...

Twenty Minute Refried Beans

May 30, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

OH MY GOSH LIFE. I have been hardcore absent from my blogging world for so long. We were in the last few weeks of the school year, and it was my last year of teaching since the baby is coming soon (yay!), so I really wanted to soak up those last few weeks and stay totally focused on enjoying every minute of them. Also, I was busy - hi, making finals for four different grade levels is time ...

Pecan Bacon Brussels Sprouts with Sweet Cider Vinaigrette

April 28, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

OH MY GOSH I'm sorry I've been so MIA. I've had 8pm work days all of this week, and they continue through the end of next week because I'm helping with the play at school, and the performance is next Friday. So...basically I get home and go to bed. Just bear with me this week and next week if I seem quite absent - I promise I will be around consistently once these next few weeks are over! Now, ...

Blueberry Butter

April 11, 2017 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Blueberry butter. It's a thing. And it's upping breakfast's game hard. Not that this delicious butter has to be served with breakfast or anything, but...I'm just sayin'...smeared across a biscuit or across a toasted slice of cinnamon bread in the morning? Heaven. H-e-a-v-e-n. When I have stumbled across fruit butters in the past, they always seem to use jam as the fruit ingredient. I considered ...

Crock Pot White Chicken Chili

April 6, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

My dearest Crock Pot, I am grasping onto you for the remaining few weeks that it is acceptable to use you! Soon, warmer weather will be knocking on my front door, and I will welcome it with EXTREMELY open arms, but I will store you away, my Crock Pot friend, until next fall with sadness. One of the very few sad points about winter ending. Emphasis on FEW. I am sooooo ready for winter to be ...

Homemade Green Enchilada Sauce

March 15, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

If you ever have the chance to make something homemade as a substitute for canned/jarred/premade ingredients, it is ALWAYS the best option! The only exception I can think of is Crescent Rolls. I've never had homemade bread as good as crescent rolls...there is some sort of strange black magic within those little cans that make the most delicious, buttery, and flaky bread that exists on this ...
