Crispy Slow Roasted Carnitas

August 31, 2016 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

If you ever stumbled across this post from a while back, you know alllllll about my intense love of slow roasted pork shoulder (aka pork butt [aka Boston butt]). Rubbing all kinds of delicious spices over that delicious hunk of meat, throwing it in a heavy pot, and poppin' that baby in the oven to cook low and slow for several hours? My love language. There are not many things I love ...

Easy Korean Flank Steak

August 29, 2016 by Annie Chesson 13 Comments

Okay...let me just start by pointing out that I know I say what I'm about to say a lot: "This is the best thing ever." And I can truly tell you that I fully believe my descriptions every single time! I will never rave about a recipe that I'm actually not that crazy about. So...you have to believe me and try not to roll your eyes when I say that this is SERIOUSLY the best flank steak I have ever ...

Thai Pineapple Fried Rice

August 24, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

There is this AMAZING Thai restaurant here in town. Like...amazing. I'm pretty sure I've told you about it before...the one Seth and I went to so many times that we couldn't even look at Thai food for months because we got so sick of it? Stop me if I've told you this already... ...OH WAIT You can't stop me because I'm all the way over here and you're just reading my words from a computer screen. ...

Creamy Apple Lime Cole Slaw

August 23, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Public service announcement: Adding apples to coleslaw is revolutionary. The crisp, sweet, crunchy fruit folded in with the cabbage is what dreams are made of, people. If you've never tried this before, it is very important that you stop what you are doing right this instant, go to your local grocery store, grab some apples and some other yummy ingredients, and MAKE THIS NOW. Now. Go. I'll ...

Popped Quinoa Crunch Bars

Like...what is this. It might be the coolest thing ever. Wrap your minds around this, people - you are eating a chocolate peanut butter swirl bar, but WAIT. It has a bunch of quinoa loaded up in there too. Say whaaaaaat?!? That's right. Popped quinoa. In your chocolate bar. What is this life...I'm diggin' it. Chances are high that you are sitting there saying "Raw quinoa in my chocolate bar? No ...

The Most BOSS Salad of All Time

August 12, 2016 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

I mean...the title says it all. I sat here debating for a good ten minutes over whether or not I wanted to title this salad what it actually was (which we will talk about in a minute), or if I should give it a title that immediately alerts you that you are about to make and eat THE MOST BOSS SALAD EVER. Not even exaggerating. I've had a lot of salads, and I've made a lot of salads...this one ...

Brown Sugar Maple Baked Beans

July 18, 2016 by Annie Chesson 15 Comments

I am very upset with myself for never trying homemade baked beans before. My vast experience with them has been the following: open can of baked beans. Dump can into pot. Turn on heat. Cook until beans are warm. Consume. Are you judging me because I'm a food blogger and have only ever eaten canned baked beans? DON'T JUDGE ME I'M SORRRYYYYY. Better late than never, though, amIright? Can I just ...

Perfect 30 Minute Red Curry

July 8, 2016 by Annie Chesson 20 Comments

Oh my gosh. Hold the phone. HOLD. THE. PHONE. This is quite possibly the best thing I have ever consumed in my entire life. Food, drink, anything. First of all...allow me to preface... Up until a few years ago, I had never tried Thai curry. I had tried Indian curry, and I wasn't a big fan of that, so I thought that meant that I wouldn't like any curry. Then I went to a Thai restaurant, someone ...

Flavor Bomb Pork Chops with Mango Salsa

June 24, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Do you ever think that a specific place, area, or season tastes like something? Hold...let me give you a few examples before you think I'm cray cray. To me, fall tastes like Pumpkin Spice Lattes. The beach tastes like crab dipped in butter sauce. Christmas tastes like hot chocolate. My home in North Carolina tastes like Chicken Pot Pie and Baked Potato Soup. The school where I teach tastes like ...

Vegan Chili Stewed Chickpeas

June 21, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

So basically these last few weeks have been a hey-my-husband-is-finally-home-from-his-deployment-so-let's-celebrate-and-go-out-to-eat-every-three-seconds type of situation. We haven't been eating super badly (with the exception of a few several meals), but it definitely hasn't been kale salad and protein shakes over here. We went to Topeka with my sister-in-law and niece yesterday, so we ate at a ...
