Coconut Mango Rice

August 10, 2018 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

I love rice. It is so soft and tender and delicious, not to mention the perfect base for so many yummy things. I especially love rice when it is loaded UP with creaminess and flavor like πŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌ. This rice is cooked in coconut milk and then fresh, pureed mango is stirred in at the end, leaving you with a rich, creamy, slightly sweet, bright, fresh, and flavor bomb pot of rice. Seth kept saying ...

Crazy Easy Three Ingredient Pimento Mac and Cheese

June 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Guess what I found in my eleven month old son's mouth this morning? I'll give you a few minutes to ponder your guess. *** *** Dog food. It was dog food. A pellet of dog food. **Cue all the vomit emojis.** He was crawling around on our rug in the living room and I saw him bring his little fist up to his face and he looked at me, clearly with something in his mouth, and I hopped up and ran ...

Lemon Garlic Roasted Potatoes

May 23, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

We're gettin' real in here today with these roasted potatoes. If you think roasted potatoes belong in a colder, more wintery season, just HOLD THE PHONE. The lemon garlic sauce that these potatoes are tossed in before and after roasting + the fresh dill sprinkled over the potatoes at the end request you to rethink your position on non-summer roasted potatoes. Here's the deal with spring/summer ...

Watermelon Salsa

May 21, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

One million percent inspiration for this recipe goes to my bestie, Megan. I have two AMAZING best friends that I've known since I could barely read (aka forever), and to this day they are still two of my favorite people in the entire world. More family than friends at this point. Anyway, they both live in North Carolina, so we try and visit each other whenever we can. Recently, I went there and we ...

May 11, 2018 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Roasted cauliflower and me = BFF. Do you have a good relationship with cauliflower? Have you ever roasted it? If you answer was "no" to the first question, it's highly probable it was also "no" to the second question. When you roast cauliflower in the oven for a niiiice longggg time, allowing it to get soft and deliciously toasty and caramelized, it is HEAVEN. It is probably my favorite vegetable ...
