The BEST Italian Roasted Potatoes

February 13, 2020 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

The BEST Italian Roasted Potatoes - These delicious, crispy potatoes are tossed in a delicious Italian sauce, roasted, and then tossed in more of the same sauce and served. They are insanely flavorful and crazy delicious! #Whole30 TheGarlicDiaries.com

Strap in for the SINGLE best roasted potato you will eat in your lifetime. For reals, these things are like a flavor explosion, and that doesn't happen often with potatoes. Usually potatoes taste like...potatoes! Which is great, potatoes taste amazing - fried, roasted, mashed - they are bomb in all forms, BUT, they don't usually contain a lot of flavor aside from the flavor of potato. But ...

Roasted Corn with Cumin Brown Butter - TheGarlicDiaries.com

Before I address any of this, can we all work on compiling a list of every single food item that we could possible slather with brown butter and then get back to each other? That would be v helpful.

15 Minute Mango Salsa

May 22, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

What is better than a perfect bowl of fresh, ripe mango salsa? Nothing, you say? You would be THE MOST correct. It's fruity, it's sweet, it's tangy, it's got some spice from the jalapeno, bite from the red onion, and freshness from the cilantro. Throw it on top of grilled chicken, fish, pork, grass clippings...wait, probably not...but maybe? This mango salsa takes like two seconds to make ...

Thick and Creamy Cauliflower Mash

May 13, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Cauliflower mash has never been my favorite. It's always been a little bit thin, and I could never get it really unctuous and thick and creamy like I wanted. But I have been on a cauliflower mash mission to make a puree that wouldn't make me sad about the lack of potatoes! After trying a few different tricks, I discovered a cauliflower mash that is CRAZY thick, CRAZY creamy, and SUPER velvety ...

Caprese Stuffed Avocado Cups with Balsamic Reduction (Keto)

April 19, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Well this is literally my obsession above all else. I eat it for lunch at least half the days of the week, and when I'm not eating it, I'm missing it. It is creamy and rich from the avocado, cheesy, smooth, and delicious from the fresh mozzarella cheese, bright and acidic from the tomatoes + the vinaigrette, and slightly sweet from the balsamic reduction. It hits every taste bud in your WHOLE ...
