Super Simple Coconut Lime Quinoa

January 20, 2017 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

This is officially my new favorite way to eat quinoa. Quinoa is probably the thing I make most on repeat at my house. It is so good for you, a perfect side for pretty much anything, and it tastes awesome! I also like the texture - it's kind of chewy...in a good way! So, as you can imagine, I have made about a billion and one types of quinoa over the years, but this one takes the cake with zero ...

Warm Black Bean and Quinoa Salad with Spicy Lime Dressing

January 6, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I got a rice cooker for Christmas and I ❤️ it so hard. It only has a white rice and brown rice setting, but I decided to be a rebel and cook quinoa in it the other day - it was fluffy and delicious and perfect 😍👍! So - what to make with my cooked-to-perfection-thanks-to-my-new-rice-cooker quinoa? Thiiiisssssss. Salads in winter are hard. Freezing cold weather doesn't exactly make me crave cool, ...

Rustic Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes

November 16, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

So...Crock Pots. They are SO popular right now (hi, Pinterest!), and I think it's because there is something so satisfying about throwing some ingredients into the slow cooker, walking away, goin' aboutcho bidness, and then walking into your kitchen several hours later with a meal/side that is ready to go! I understand the love. I feel the love. Me and my Crock Pot are buds, buuttt I will say ...

Ciabatta and Pork Sausage Stuffing

November 14, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Stuffing? Dressing? I know that technically this would be called "dressing" because it's baked separately from the turkey, but it feels wrong for me to call it that. We have always called it stuffing, and dressing is the liquidy stuff that you put on da lettuces. And that's that! Just kidding...you can call it whatever you want. Just let it be known that I do accept the fact that the correct term ...

Thai Pineapple Fried Rice

August 24, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

There is this AMAZING Thai restaurant here in town. Like...amazing. I'm pretty sure I've told you about it before...the one Seth and I went to so many times that we couldn't even look at Thai food for months because we got so sick of it? Stop me if I've told you this already... ...OH WAIT You can't stop me because I'm all the way over here and you're just reading my words from a computer screen. ...

Creamy Apple Lime Cole Slaw

August 23, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Public service announcement: Adding apples to coleslaw is revolutionary. The crisp, sweet, crunchy fruit folded in with the cabbage is what dreams are made of, people. If you've never tried this before, it is very important that you stop what you are doing right this instant, go to your local grocery store, grab some apples and some other yummy ingredients, and MAKE THIS NOW. Now. Go. I'll ...

The Most BOSS Salad of All Time

August 12, 2016 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

I mean...the title says it all. I sat here debating for a good ten minutes over whether or not I wanted to title this salad what it actually was (which we will talk about in a minute), or if I should give it a title that immediately alerts you that you are about to make and eat THE MOST BOSS SALAD EVER. Not even exaggerating. I've had a lot of salads, and I've made a lot of salads...this one ...

Brown Sugar Maple Baked Beans

July 18, 2016 by Annie Chesson 15 Comments

I am very upset with myself for never trying homemade baked beans before. My vast experience with them has been the following: open can of baked beans. Dump can into pot. Turn on heat. Cook until beans are warm. Consume. Are you judging me because I'm a food blogger and have only ever eaten canned baked beans? DON'T JUDGE ME I'M SORRRYYYYY. Better late than never, though, amIright? Can I just ...

Herbed Pea and Orzo Salad

July 6, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Remember that time we made an amazing herb condiment packed with basil, cilantro, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil and then folded it into pasta? OH WAIT. That happened today ????. And holy delicious, it was a big bowl of wow-it's-hot-outside-so-let's-make-easy-food-with-bright-flavors-and-be-happy-forever. You pickin' up what I'm puttin' down? Good. So...those herbs. That ...

Roasted Garlic and Avocado Toast

June 17, 2016 by Annie Chesson 11 Comments

Stop what you are doing right now. STAAHHHPPPP. Go to the grocery store, pick up fifty heads of garlic, roast every single one of them, and bask in the perfection that ensues. Do it. Because just one head of roasted garlic will never be enough. I could quite literally eat an entire head of roasted garlic plain, just completely plain and on its own, and be super content with life. Super stressful ...
