Flank Steak Tacos with Cilantro Lime Yogurt Sauce

April 30, 2015 by Annie Chesson 34 Comments

Alright people, listen to this craziness. So my mom is starting a business called Perfect Pregnancy ( I could take ten pages to describe what it is, but the gist is that it's a Christian based business that is all about helping and encouraging women throughout their pregnancy) and they are filming their Kickstarter video in Charlotte, NC this weekend. A huge part of Perfect Pregnancy is a book ...

One Pot Vegan Lentil Chili

April 27, 2015 by Annie Chesson 32 Comments

Chili? In April? I know...it's not exactly your typical spring dish, but like I mentioned with my Chicken and Rice Soup a few weeks ago, I'm an all year round soup/stew/chili eater. If that's not you, bookmark this delicious recipe and save it for October! Well I was suppooooosed to write this post yesterday, but Seth and I traveled to Savannah, GA this weekend to photograph our friends' ...

Easy Veggie Lo Mein

April 21, 2015 by Annie Chesson 28 Comments

Lo Mein is probably my favorite dish to get when I go out to a Chinese restaurant. Sometimes I branch out and get something different, but whenever I do I am secretly missing my traditional Lo Mein order every time :). I'm not sure why I waited for so long to create my own Lo Mein recipe at home, but I am so happy we decided to give it a try. It was a huge hit! The tender veggies, bold, ...

Salmon Banh Mi

April 19, 2015 by Annie Chesson 20 Comments

There is this restaurant here in Georgia called Atlanta Bread Company - it's super similar to Panera but way better (at least I think so). Well there is this sandwich they make, a Salmon Banh Mi, that I am absolutely obsessed with! I get it every single time Seth and I go there and can't stop thinking the whole time about how crazy delicious it is. It has this perfect balance of flavors - crisp ...

The Best Chicken and Rice Soup

April 13, 2015 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

This really is the best Chicken and Rice Soup Ever! At least out of all the ones I've ever tried. What makes it so over-the-top-amazing? Two things in particular. 1. Rather than buying chicken stock, we just cook a whole chicken in water and that becomes the broth. We need cooked chicken anyway for the soup, why waste the flavorful water that the chicken simmers in?? So it has a super, SUPER ...

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 ...

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. ...
