Fresh Tomato Pasta

September 26, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

WHEW - alright people, we are settled back at home in Kansas after a 3 + week long trip to North Carolina. Seth had a 3 week training in Georgia, and we have tons of family and friends in North Carolina just a few states away (almost said one state and then checked myself and looked at a US map...Lord please never let me teach geography), so Ford and I decided to tag along and hang out in North ...

Bruschetta Panzanella Salad

August 27, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Let's talk about the beautiful thing that is panzanella. Have you ever heard of it before? Ever eaten it? If you don't know what it is, allow me to drop some knowledge on you...panzanella is literally bread salad. Bread. Salad. Italy, you really, REALLY came through for us here, friend. Panzanella (no big shocker here) is one of my all time favorite salads. I've made lots of different kinds, my ...

Curry Chicken Salad

August 22, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Chicken salad can be preeetttyy iffy for me. Sometimes it can just be a pile of dry chicken coated in what seems to be straight mayo...hard pass. I don't love it when it's made with canned chicken, and I definitely don't love it if I can taste the mayo. If it's made with rotisserie chicken, that's better, but the best case scenario is this (πŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌ) right here, friends! This chicken salad has a ...

Creamy Chicken and Fresh Corn Casserole

August 20, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This casserole is summer and fall holding hands and skipping down the street together. It is THE perfect recipe for those of us who are still enjoying summer in all its warmth, sunny days, pool visits, and fresh, ripe veggies but are also cautiously excited to welcome fall into our homes with its comforting, "curl up on the couch with a blanket when you get back from pumpkin picking" feel. It ...

Instant Pot Mexican Chicken Stew

August 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Soo...on a scale of one to ten, how mad are you about me posting a stew recipe in the 100 degree August heat? I know this is a sin in some of your homes. Spring and summer are the months where your soup pots get put away, you put your right hand on the Bible, and you solemnly swear not to eat any comfort food until September at the earliest. If that's you, can we still be friends? Can you pop ...

Coconut Mango Rice

August 10, 2018 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

I love rice. It is so soft and tender and delicious, not to mention the perfect base for so many yummy things. I especially love rice when it is loaded UP with creaminess and flavor like πŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌ. This rice is cooked in coconut milk and then fresh, pureed mango is stirred in at the end, leaving you with a rich, creamy, slightly sweet, bright, fresh, and flavor bomb pot of rice. Seth kept saying ...

Meal Prep Quinoa and Black Bean Burrito Bowls

August 3, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Let me just paint a quick picture for you here, friends. It's a busy week day, whether you are at home or at work, and before you know it, your stomach is grumbling, you look at the clock, and it's already lunch time. You scan your mind for what you have in your fridge/what you brought to work for lunch, and - ding! - you remember that you did an awesome, wonderful thing for yourself and meal ...

Juicy Instant Pot Mexican Chicken

August 1, 2018 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Instant Pot meat and Crock Pot meat have never been my faves unless they are in a sauce. I've never had success with just doing straight up meat before, like these chicken breasts. But I was determined to find a way to do it successfully in the Instant Pot so that I could create a recipe for juicy chicken that could be used as a base in meals for the whole week! And we figured it out peeps. ...

Nashville Hot Chicken

July 25, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Have you guys heard of Nashville Hot Chicken before? It's a super popular dish in Nashville, Tennessee (obvi) - kind of like what the Philly Cheesesteak is to Philadelphia. Y'ALL (such Southern language is mandatory in this post) - Nashville Hot Chicken is life. Here's what makes Nashville Hot Chicken the beautiful creation that it is: Fried chicken (of course) A heavily spiced paste ...
