Instant Pot Beef Stew

October 12, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Can we just...can I just....can you just...LOOK HOW COMFORTING THIS IS. As I am writing this post, it is forty degrees and super gray and rainy outside my window. Do you know how hard I could go for a piping hot bowl of this beef stew right now?! There are no words. The broth is ridiculously thick, rich, and loaded with flavor from the meat and veggies that have pressure cooked into the liquid ...

Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate

October 4, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

First instruction that is absolutely mandatory in order for us to continue with this conversation: go to your kitchen pantry, grab all those little Swiss Miss instant hot chocolate packets, and throw them away or put them in a box to donate. STAT. GO DO IT. Okay, now that that's all worked out, say hello to this delicious homemade hot chocolate that is baaaaaasically just as easy as throwing ...

Instant Pot Garlic Butter Green Beans

August 29, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

These green beans literally have a constant presence in my fridge, you guys. You can almost always find a tupperware full of them ready to be devoured at any moment. The reason = my one year old will go. to. TOWN. on these babies! He literally shoves them in his mouth by the chubby fist full. They are probs his favorite vegetable, and because they are so easy and quick to make, it seems like we ...

Hidden Veggie Marinara (great for kids!)

August 17, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

You may only enter this post if all children under the age of ten aren't in visual range of your computer screen. You must answer TWO secret questions to pass the mom test and prove that you are not, indeed, a small child. The questions follow: How many days has it been since you have showered? How many goldfish and/or other cracker crumbs are in the back seat of your car currently? If ...

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 ...

Instant Pot Beef Ragu

August 8, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Oh my gaasshhhhh, Instant Pot, you are just TOO DANG good to be true. A tough cut of meat that would normally take hours to become tender and juicy in the oven takes literally thirty minutes in the Instant Pot, it becomes fall apart tender, and it cooks into the sauce, leaving you with the most thick, unctuous, richly flavored ragu that you've ever encountered in YO LIFE. I'm telling you guys, ...

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 ...
