Grilled Spring Veggie Pasta Salad

May 28, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Life be cray sometimes, amiright? Because of this fact, last week when we were all signing up for things to bring to our potluck lunch as a "school is over!" celebration at work, I thought, "Hey, self. Let's double dip here and make a post out of whatever we sign up for. Great idea! You're so clever. You should go to Target later to reward yourself." So I signed up for pasta salad and then ...

Warm Brown Rice and Kale Salad with Goat Cheese and Almonds

April 29, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Do you ever go through food phases? For example, you are in a sandwich phase, so you end up craving and eating a sandwich at least a few times a week. A Qdoba phase (my life) where you end up eating a burrito at least once a week? Basically, by food phase, I mean any time that there is one particular food or food group that you feel like you're CONSTANTLY craving. When Seth and I were still ...

BLT Chicken Salad Stuffed Avocados

April 19, 2016 by Annie Chesson 32 Comments

YES. This happened. We made some healthy BLT chicken salad and shoved it inside/heaped it on top of an avocado. When I say "we" made, I really just mean me. And Boone, who sat at my feet. And blitz, who kept trying to take bites of the lettuce. She loves her some lettuce. Her true obsession is kale, though. Kale is the cheese to her macaroni.  The syrup to her waffles. The BLT chicken salad to her ...

Crunchy Cabbage Salad with Peanut Dressing [21 Day Fix]

April 16, 2016 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Ah, Salad. We have had a rocky relationship in the past, and I sincerely apologize for that because you are delicious. I never was a huge fan of salad until I got older. I just thought they were BO-ring. Iceberg lettuce, carrots, cukes, ranch dressing. Blah, blah, blah. Boring. FALSE! If you put the right ingredients together, salads can be the bomb.com. I could literally eat a salad every single ...

Crunchy Sesame Kale Salad [21 Day Fix]

March 31, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Yeeeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh kale. Kale is one of ma faves. Well, when it is made right. Kale has the potential to be the most delicious green ever or the most disgusting green ever depending on how you prepare it. Eating raw kale is a leeeeettle bit trickier since it can tend to be pretty tough and fibrous (more on that later [on how to avoid that toughness (how far can I inception this parenthetical ...

Poached Eggs over Roasted Asparagus with Lemon Vinaigrette [21 Day Fix]

March 3, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Poached eggs are scary. They seem very fancy and seem to require a lot of technical skill to make. Let me tell you something, though - with a few little tricks, making poached eggs is just as easy and scrambling 'em up in a skillet. I promise! And then you will look all fancy and awesome eating a perfectly poached egg. We can just keep it between you and I that it was super simple. No one else has ...

Dijon Crusted Salmon with Simple Arugula Salad [21 Day Fix]

February 24, 2016 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Seafood twice in one week?? That's a lot for a blog that has included seafood a grand total of like three times (total estimate) over the last few years. I am making an effort to cook it more. Variety is the spice of life, right? You know what else is the spice of life? Everything that goes on top of this salmon. Dijon mustard, lemon juice, seasoned breadcrumbs. Seasoned with what, you may ask? ...

Simple Kale Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

January 13, 2016 by Annie Chesson 63 Comments

My best friend's dad is seriously one of the best cooks I have ever met in my life. Megan and I grew up together, and I remember when I would go to her house for dinner, I would always be totally obsessed with anything her dad made. Baaaasically what I'm saying is that he rocks. Anyway, I went to visit Megan and my other best friend in North Carolina for New Years Eve this year, and I stayed at ...
