World’s Easiest Instant Pot Frozen Shrimp

March 27, 2019 by Annie Chesson 88 Comments

First things first, I need everyone to drop everything they are doing and focus on only this for the next ten minutes, because it is absolutely mandatory that you understand the magic of this shrimp. This is my favorite new recipe, and I have made it twice within one week (and have another bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer to make it again)! It. Is. Revolutionary. Reasons: It no joke takes ...

Instant Pot Green Chili Chicken (perfect for tacos!)

March 22, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

At this point, I've had my Instant Pot for a year + a few months, and I am still SO OBSESSED. It is one HUNDO P my favorite kitchen item, and I get excited when I think of ways to use it. I really can't say enough about this beautiful pot of magic, but if you are on the fence about getting one, you should - for sure, for sure, for sure. I'm in love. And this green chili chicken is the perfect ...

Whole 30 Zuppa Toscana

March 6, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I have conflicting opinions about Olive Garden...I'm not a huge fan of their food overall, and Seth definitely isn't super into it, BUT their unlimited soup and salad is BAAAEEEE. The salad is okay, but the soup is tha bomb.com. Specifically their Zuppa Toscana. It's so simple, but it's so so yummy. The flavorful sausage, soft potatoes, tender kale, and delicious, slightly spicy, slightly creamy ...

Pecan Crusted Chicken with Mushroom Cream Sauce

February 27, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

YAASSSSS to everything about this recipe. Yes to the fact that this chicken is crusted in flour + ground pecans before being cooked until crispy and perfect in the pan. Yes to the fact that in the same pan we make a to-die-for sauce out of garlic, shallots, mushrooms, and half and half. Yes to the fact that the chicken is smothered in the sauce and then sprinkled with toasted pecans. Like...can ...

8 Cozy Winter Instant Pot Recipes

January 30, 2019 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Cozy, wintery, cold weather, sit-next-to-the-fireplace-with-a-big-bowl-of-*instertfoodhere* meals are my ABSOLUTE fave. I just love them. That type of food makes me feel warm and cozy inside and just puts me in THE best mood! Yes, sure, fine - fresh, bright summer produce has its place in my heart too, but nothing can beat a straight up cozy meal when it's crisp and cold outside! And - bonus - ...

Coconut Curry Ramen Revamp

January 23, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

One of my hubby and I's favorite things to do is upgrade those little 99 cent ramen packs you get at the store (aka that sustained you throughout your college years) into something a little fancier and more extra. Usually we just add some veggies and maybe a little garlic and ginger + a shot of soy sauce, but sometimes we will go real fancy and really throw some extra goodies in there. Eating ...

How To: The Perfect Soft Boiled Egg

January 16, 2019 by Annie Chesson 22 Comments

People. Have you ever ventured into the world of a soft boiled egg? Oh...my gosh. It is heaven. Soft, velvety, silky egg yolk that is perfectly encased within a tender, perfectly set egg white. I had never tried making one before this...isn't that crazy? I was missing out on a whole world of egg perfection! It just seemed daunting to me. How do you find the perfect balance of runny yolk + set ...

20 Minute One Pot Pumpkin Parmesan Pasta

November 28, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Did you all have the best Thanksgiving ever?? I hope it was one for the books, and I hope you are still polishing off the rest of those delicious leftovers. I know after the marathon cooking event that is Thanksgiving, a lot of people (myself included) like to take a little break from intensive cooking for a little while and grab some takeout, eat lots of leftovers, or just stick with easy peasy ...

Apple Cheddar Soup

November 1, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Okay, wait. Wait, wait, and wait. Have you ever tried a wedge of apple that is topped with a slice of cheddar cheese? Have you?? If not - Ima need you to add apples and cheddar cheese to your grocery list so you can experience this snack. If you've never heard of this, this probably sounds gross and crazy and weird to you.

All-The-Award Winning Southwest Chicken Chili

October 26, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Alright people, this chili is a family legend, and my in-laws have gracefully granted me permission to share it on the blog. It started with my husband's second cousins, Led and Connie. This was their chili recipe initially, and they would make it for the kids at a camp they ran every year where they live in Colorado. It eventually got passed down to my mother and father-in-law, Rhonda and Ed, ...
