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. ...

Instant Pot Italian Beef

June 25, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

You guys. I have made tons of Instant Pot recipes since I got it as a Christmas gift this past year, but - let me tell you - this is by far the easiest. It literally requires no work...unless you call searing a piece of meat in the Instant Pot and then dumping two jars of Italian goodness on top "work," becaauussee I don't. It's a zero effort prep...craziness. The jar of pepperoncinis and ...

Crazy Easy Three Ingredient Pimento Mac and Cheese

June 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Guess what I found in my eleven month old son's mouth this morning? I'll give you a few minutes to ponder your guess. *** *** Dog food. It was dog food. A pellet of dog food. **Cue all the vomit emojis.** He was crawling around on our rug in the living room and I saw him bring his little fist up to his face and he looked at me, clearly with something in his mouth, and I hopped up and ran ...

Summer Fresh Corn and Zucchini Chowder

June 11, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Alright, year-round soup lovers, this one's for you! The only thing "wintery" about this soup is the fact that it's soup...everything else screams summery goodness! The super fresh corn and zucchini particularly. The sweet pop of that fresh corn...you can't beat it! Frozen corn is a great substitute in those cold months when fresh isn't available, but the difference between fresh corn and frozen ...

Watermelon Salsa

May 21, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

One million percent inspiration for this recipe goes to my bestie, Megan. I have two AMAZING best friends that I've known since I could barely read (aka forever), and to this day they are still two of my favorite people in the entire world. More family than friends at this point. Anyway, they both live in North Carolina, so we try and visit each other whenever we can. Recently, I went there and we ...

Spiralized Sweet Potato Taco Skillet

May 7, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Tacos are life. I've been having a consistent taco craving fooorr...I wanna say...approximately 15 years. It's never ending - I'm always down for a taco. Luckily, on whole 30, a taco craving is actually pretty easily satiated. There are a lot of healthy substitutes where you ditch the cheese and tortilla but still get your taco fix. Lettuce wraps = perf. Taco bowls (with cauliflower rice) = ...

Instant Pot Turkey Spaghetti

May 1, 2018 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Hello, strangers! We are finally home and settled from our big East Coast adventure. Seth had two weeks of post-deployment leave, so we headed down to North Carolina to visit family and friends for a week, and then for our second week, we left Ford in North Carolina with Seth's parents and headed off on our own for another week. We left on a Friday, drove to Charleston and stayed there until ...

Instant Pot Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

April 11, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

But...comfort food πŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌ. How's the weather in your area? It's still FREEZING COLD HERE. In Kansas' defense, it is actually supposed to get super warm today...we'll see. But for the last billion years (potential slight exaggeration), it has been WINTER. So cold. Like...wait...it's April 11th. I feel like, if we're being totally fair, it should have started getting springy in March. YET - here we ...

Instant Pot Cheesy Turkey Taco Pasta

April 4, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Okay! We are pressing play on the Instant Pot series that I had to interrupt with Whole 30 goodness. So put your Instant Pot pants back on again, because I've got this deliciousness plus a handful of others comin' your way! It definitely wasn't ideal to start my Instant Pot series and then cut it off in the middle but...#planningfail. My B. This delicious, and cheesy, might I add, turkey taco ...

Instant Pot Short Ribs

March 26, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Ah, Instant Pot. So nice to see you again - it's been a while! I was very excited to be able to incorporate you into Whole 30. If I ate things like you every night, I could do Whole 30 on a permanent basis. **Switching to you, readers, instead of continuing to be creepy and address only the short ribs.** Short ribs were a first for me as of this month while doing Whole 30, and I am sad at the ...
