Brown Sugar Peppered Bacon

April 24, 2015 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Bacon! I love bacon. I think everyone loves bacon. It's delicious and crispy and salty and perfect. But thiiiis bacon takes regular bacon and slaps it in the face. The combination of salty and sweet is one of those classic things that everyone loves - it's the perfect pairing of flavor. It's why the world is obsessed with salted caramel right now - salty and sweet, people! Salty. And. ...

Fudgy Gluten-Free Brownies

April 15, 2015 by Annie Chesson 39 Comments

You're gunna love me when you try these. I mean these are good...like seriously, seriously, WEIRDLY good. Weirdly good considering they are made up mostly of black beans and coconut oil. I know what you are thinking... Because I was thinking the same thing. There is NO way that these brownies taste nearly as good as actual brownies, let alone taste good at all. I even said to Seth before I ...

Frozen Strawberry Lemonade

April 10, 2015 by Annie Chesson 22 Comments

Lemonade is one of those things that automatically brings the word "refreshing" to my mind. It's the perfect drink for spring and summer, and is made even more perfect (if that's possible) by adding in a box of pureed strawberries. Strawberries, in my opinion, are one of the best things about spring. They are in season right now so they are perfectly juicy and sweet - a perfect contrast to the ...

Peanut Lime Shrimp

April 8, 2015 by Annie Chesson 25 Comments

I'm not sure if you ever have these weeks, but the last three days have been so busy and exhausting that Seth and I just haven't had the time or energy to clean our apartment. So it got messy. Really messy. Especially the kitchen. And when I come home to a messy kitchen, it makes me just want to completely stay away from it and not cook (because that means I have to clean it first). And then ...

Butternut Squash Soup with Curry Roasted Chickpeas

March 31, 2015 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

Before I begin, I have a tip for this recipe. When you are transferring the leftovers to your Tupperwares after the soup is finished, try as hard as possible not to spill half the soup onto the counter/all over the front of your shirt and jeans and then spend 20 minutes cleaning up as your dog eats half the leftovers. Okay now that we covered that, moving on! This soup tastes as good as it looks! ...

Baby Kale, Farro Salad with Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette

March 29, 2015 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Do you ever watch the show Top Chef? If you do, the name Richard Blais might sound familiar to you. He came in second place on his season (still bitter about that) and came back to compete again on Top Chef All Stars, which he won. Anyway, he is my favorite person that has ever been on that show - I love him. Well I found out that he has a restaurant in Atlanta, which is only an hour and a half ...

Broccoli and Brussels Sprout Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette

March 25, 2015 by Annie Chesson 30 Comments

It's always fun when creating a salad to try and find that perfect balance of flavors and textures - crunchy and soft, salty and sweet, etc...That delicious balance is the mark of a great salad, in my opinion. This Broccoli and Brussels Sprout Salad is a perfect example of that! You get the crunch from the broccoli, the salty from the bacon and sunflower seeds, and the chewy/sweet from the ...

Homemade Chicken Stock

March 23, 2015 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

I have been meaning to make homemade chicken stock for years now and have never quite gotten around to it. The convenience of the boxed chicken stock has always been too tempting for me and I just end up getting that instead! But if you have ever watched Ina Garten on the Food Network, you have heard her say (about 8 million times to be exact) that homemade chicken stock makes all the ...

Healthy Vegan Chocolate Milkshake

March 17, 2015 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Okay...those of you who follow The Garlic Diaries might think I am starting to sound like a broken record when I say this...but I am going to say it anyway. You know how I've said a million times that I absolutely LOVE it when healthy food tastes unhealthy? This milkshake is literally the epitome of that phrase. This is seriously, and I'm not exaggerating, one of the best milkshakes I have ever ...

Chickpea and Veggie Curry

March 16, 2015 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

March has been CRAZY! I think this month has been the least I've blogged since I got started with The Garlic Diaries. So much has been going on lately, and I was planning on blogging ahead enough so that I would still be posting every other day, but I totally lost track of life and just got behind! It felt great to get back into the swing of things today and make/photograph a few recipes. ...
