Pickled Beet, Goat Cheese, and Arugula Salad

April 12, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This salad. is. life. It miiiiiight be my ALL TIME favorite salad ever. I no joke ate it every day for lunch for weeks, and the only reason I stopped is because we ran out of pickled beets and I kept forgetting to buy more. I keep a giant box of spring green mix, a giant box of arugula, a bag of red onions and lemons in the pantry, and a Costco pack of goat cheese in the fridge at all times so ...

Whole Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Reduction

April 10, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Brussels sprouts are the most underrated vegetable in the world. People have been brainwashed by their grandparents and parents boiling them to the consistency of absolute mush and then dumping them on their plate and force feeding them mushy globs of questionable smelling sprouts. BUT - listen, these poor brussels sprouts have just been wildly misunderstood. Because when cooked correctly and ...

Garlic Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes

March 8, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Can we just take a moment here? Look at that beautiful little tomato. Stuffed with garlic, drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and then roasted for an entire hour so it just condenses and becomes ultra soft, sweet, and loaded with roasted, caramelized flavor. What you're looking at here is tomato dreams, people. The peak of tomato perfection. What each ...

Baked 3 Cheese Mac and Cheese

November 13, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I'm a firm - FIRM - believer in mac and cheese being a mandatory element of a successful and delicious Thanksgiving spread. I've found two parties here: people that are with me and see it as a necessary accompaniment just like stuffing or mashed potatoes, and then the people who never include it with their other sides. If you are in that second group...why? Who hurt you? Jk. BUT let's talk ...

Ciabatta and Pork Sausage Stuffing Muffins

November 8, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

But wait...how adorbs are these?! Don't these bring you so much satisfaction just looking at them? Picture this: you are setting up your thanksgiving spread, and you have twelve of these little cuties sitting out on a serving tray, ready for someone to just grab and place next to their pile of turkey, ready to be smothered in gravy and eaten all together in one glorious bite. I love thinking of ...

Let's see...hooowwww do I put this so that I'm not verbally assaulting you BUT also properly indicating how important it is that these are a part of your life asap...?

Refined Sugar Free Apple Sauce

October 24, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Y'all. I wish I had footage that I could attach here of my one year old fiending so hard over this apple sauce. His little body just bounces up and down when I pull it out of the fridge and he just wants spoonful after spoonful after spoonful. I may or may not sneak a few spoonfuls myself, because this apple sauce is BAE - not just for the chillins. It's easy to make, it's healthy, and it's a ...

These green beans literally have a constant presence in my fridge, you guys. You can almost always find a tupperware full of them ready to be devoured at any moment. The reason = my one year old will go. to. TOWN. on these babies! He literally shoves them in his mouth by the chubby fist full. They are probs his favorite vegetable, and because they are so easy and quick to make, it seems like we ...

Let's talk about the beautiful thing that is panzanella. Have you ever heard of it before? Ever eaten it? If you don't know what it is, allow me to drop some knowledge on you...panzanella is literally bread salad. Bread. Salad. Italy, you really, REALLY came through for us here, friend.
