Orange Chicken

December 1, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Pizza and Chinese takeout = two of my lifetime staples. I mean, let's just talk about the wonderfulness of these two items real quick. Firstly, they are both delicious. Secondly, they can both be delivered to your door or picked up on your way home. Thirdly, they are both delicious. The deliciousness deserved two points. BUT - problem: both of these food items are super calorie/fat/carb loaded ...

The Easiest Roasted Butternut Squash

November 16, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This really is the easiest thing ever. I discovered its simplicity when I was roasting up my squash for this Butternut Mac and Cheese. I was going for the easiest and tiniest amount of prep possible since it was part of another recipe, but it ended up being SUUPPPAAA BOSS. I was close to just stopping and making it its own recipe right then and there, but I decided to wait and finish up the Mac ...

One Pot Steak Fajita Pasta

November 3, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Are you proud of me for taking such a long break from one pot pastas?? I was getting redundant there a while ago and decided to take a little one-pot pasta reprive and not over do it...which...can you actually do? I mean, does one ever actually get enough of one pot pastas?? They are basically the best and most efficient dinners ever. All your stuff, pasta included, cooks in one pot. How do up ...

Crock Pot Meatball Sub Soup

October 13, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Crock pot season, crock pot season, crock pot seaassoonnnn! I'm actually not the biggest fan of crock pots, but I do love them for the coziness. You really only break out your crock pot to cook fall and winter food. Fall and winter food is cozy. Thus...crock pots are cozy. See the logical trail? My only issue with crock pots is that I don't like to use them if the recipe would be just as good and ...

Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowls

October 11, 2017 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Sometimes, efficiency is just crucial in life, you know? Work might be crazy, you might have a bunch of kids running around the house, you might have a million little to-do list items ticking through your head. On those days/in those situations, you really need easy, efficient, quick, and yummy (because yumminess is key) dinners. Let's take this morning for example. I was multitasking as ...

Healing Chicken Noodle Stew

October 4, 2017 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

This stew could not be more perfect for the current weather in Kansas right now. It has been raining for two days, and it is just wonderfully comfy and cozy. Rainy days are awful if you are trying to run errands and be productive, but if you are staying inside all or most of the day? Pure bliss. Rainy days also aren't great for blog photography because no bright natural light = no bueno. But they ...

Pork in Garlic Sauce

October 2, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Pork in Garlic Sauce is one of my all time favorite take out dishes. It's probs between this and lo mein for the top slot- it's hard to beat a good lo mein! But if I'm not ordering lo mein, you best believe there will be a steaming hot container of Pork in Garlic Sauce knocking on my door in 20-30 minutes 👅👅👅. The creation of this recipe is something I have toiled over for quite some time. I ...

Chipotle Chicken Chili

September 27, 2017 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Let's go to a chili crawl and eat allllllll tha chilis. Have you ever heard of a chili crawl? I hadn't heard of one until this past weekend when there was one going on in town. Basically all the restaurants in this one area all made chili, and you would go from restaurant to restaurant trying the different variations and voting for the best one. Doesn't that sound like fun?! In my wildest ...

The Trick to THE Juiciest Chicken Breasts

June 19, 2017 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Chicken breasts are so blah. I am just not a huge fan...they almost always turn out dry and boring. I don't mind using chicken in things, but I almost never ever just sear up a chicken breast for dinner. So this recipe didn't come about from me experimenting - the creds for these babies go to my husband, Seth. We got hungry SUPER late at night this past weekend (because we had had popcorn a few ...
