Spicy Chipotle Chickpea Burrito Bowls

July 17, 2015 by Annie Chesson 46 Comments

If I had unlimited money and could eat 10,000 calories a day without gaining a pound, I would literally eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day at Chipotle or Qdoba. Let me describe my obsession to you with one story (I might have told this before....ALL MY STORIES ARE STARTING TO RUN TOGETHER). I'm going to preface for two seconds...literally every time we went out to eat in Georgia, ...

Huevos Rancheros with Grilled Salsa Verde

July 9, 2015 by Annie Chesson 33 Comments

Soooo...the vet. I talked here about how we had a vet appointment for Boone a few days ago, and we had to put him on a heavy sedative so he wouldn't freak out when we got there (like he always does). Before we went got the the vet he was completely out - super super super tired. Like to the point where he could barely get up on the couch. But right when we got there he fully woke up again and ...

I hope you guys had an AMAAAZZZINNNGGGG 4th of July! Ours was filled with lots of red, white, and blue clothes, carnival games and food, amazing fireworks, a few beers, and - unfortunately - sunburns. 'Muuuurrriiccaaaaaa. So...this Taco Skillet.

Hibachi Soup with Mushrooms and Crispy Onions

July 2, 2015 by Annie Chesson 35 Comments

You know those Japanese steak houses where they cook on that big flat top in front of you and do the exact same tricks every time? The volcano onion stack, shaping the rice into a big heart, catching the shrimp tails in their jacket pockets, and clanking their spatulas on the flat top to make beautiful Hibachi music for the entire 30 minute cooking process? I love those places. My favorite two ...

Grilled Romaine Salad with Bacon and Blue Cheese

June 25, 2015 by Annie Chesson 34 Comments

IF YOU ARE A BLUE CHEESE HATER JUST WAIT! Wait ooone second. Because Seth and I hate blue cheese. Really, really hate it. To the point where if I forget to ask the servers to leave it off my salad at a restaurant it ruins the whole thing for me. But we are obsessed with this salad. Oooooobsessed. So it started with an experiment. There is this burger at a sports bar back in our college town ...

Cold Soba Noodle Salad

June 20, 2015 by Annie Chesson 24 Comments

Can we just talk about Soba noodles for a second?? I had actually never tried them before making this recipe. I see them all over the place, though. I guess I'm jumping on the bandwagon a little late... But they are so dang good! I was definitely expecting them to taste more...healthy...than they taste. But I actually liked these Soba noodles just as much as regular pasta. Except these are way ...

Cowfish Copycat “Taste Explosion” Roll

May 30, 2015 by Annie Chesson 18 Comments

Happy Saturday! How is your weekend going? Seth and I went out to lunch today at a super yummy taco place and then just walked around downtown Columbus for a while - they were having a sidewalk flea market/farmers market type thing. We realized during the walk that we have a slightly irrational obsession with our dog. Literally 80 percent of our conversation was made up of talking about how ...

Blackened Salmon with Lime Cream

May 23, 2015 by Annie Chesson 23 Comments

This salmon. It is SO easy to make and absolutely delicious. The spice rub browns in the pan and becomes this crispy, flavor bomb coating on the outside of the salmon that pairs perfectly with the refreshing lime cream that gets drizzled on top. It is seriously a match made in heaven! When Seth tried this he said it was one of the best things I've ever made...ever...so we will definitely be ...

BBQ Pulled Pork Quesadillas

May 13, 2015 by Annie Chesson 18 Comments

I have to tell you about my obsession right now. Slow roasting a pork shoulder. Like really low and slow for five or six hours. Oh. My. Goodness. This slow roasted pork, shredded and covered in BBQ sauce, is probably one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life. And I'm not even exaggerating. I am obsessed. We made it once a few weeks ago, then again for these quesadillas, and yesterday ...

Jalapeno Popper Cheeseburger

May 11, 2015 by Annie Chesson 22 Comments

Since I was a little girl, Jalapeno Poppers have been my all time favorite snack food. BUT they have to be the kind with cheddar cheese inside...cream cheese = no go. I love finding different ways to include the flavors of Jalapeno Poppers into other foods - sandwiches, dips, or this burger! The roasted jalapenos and cheese stuffed inside the ground beef give these burgers the delicious Jalapeno ...
