Instant Pot Chicken Poblano Soup

February 16, 2018 by Annie Chesson 13 Comments

Soups are one of my all time favorite things to cook. There is so much versatility, and you can make them SO PAINFULLY delicious when you add a bunch of yummy flavor combinations. There are days where I'm craving the simplicity of a straight up chicken noodle soup, but most of the time I like to make soups that are a little more unique and just bursting with a slap-you-across-the-face amount of ...

Instant Pot Curry Rice with Almonds

February 13, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

OH MY GOSH I'M SORRY DON'T HATE ME FOR BEING SUPER MIA FOR THE LAST MILLION WEEKS. That spontaneous trip to North Carolina totally threw off my blogging schedule, and after that I basically went directly to Las Vegas to visit my brother and sister in law, and I just got back from that trip yesterday. I'M SORRY! I have felt slightly guilty about it in the back of my mind for the last few weeks as ...

One Pot Smoky Lentil Stew

January 17, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Do you want to know what happened in Kansas today? They closed schools because of EXTREME COLD. Like...no snow...no ice...no dangerous driving conditions...just cold weather. The concern is that they don't want kids waiting outside for the buses when it's like negative ten degrees. So hopefully that gives you a nice frigid visual of theΒ  weather outside right now. Growing up in North Carolina ...

Microwave Mac and Cheese in a Mug

December 20, 2017 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

It's official. My life is changed forever now that I can have a piping hot mug of delicious mac and cheese in five minutes FLAT. No joke on that five minutes - the pasta and water cook in the microwave for four minutes, during which you grate your cheddar cheese. The mug comes out of the microwave, gets a quick stir, the cheese and half and half get thrown in, and after another thirty seconds in ...

December 12, 2017 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

I'm bout to have some Italians chasing me down with pitchforks for using the oxymoron "Vegetarian Bolognese"...but wait! It's yummy. And it looks like a bolognese. And it feels like a bolognese. And it has a lot of the same ingredients...so, can we still be frands? I realize that I just created a vegetarian version of a super traditionally meat loaded sauce...kind of like saying "Vegetarian Fried ...
