Mustard Chive Potato Salad

June 6, 2015 by Annie Chesson 27 Comments

Happy Saturday! It's not a super happy Saturday for us because we are packing and cleaning ALL day...ugh. I really very strongly dislike packing. It's not so bad at first when there are some big easy things to pack, like a bookshelf or a TV stand. But then you look around and see a million little random things and it looks like you have made no progress. Seth's parents are coming in today to ...

Asian Cucumber “Noodles”

May 18, 2015 by Annie Chesson 35 Comments

These cucumber noodles have been on my list of recipes I want to create for my blog since I started The Garlic Diaries back in September! They have been on my mind for a while now - the idea of cucumber "noodles" just sounded so light and refreshing to me. Not to mention healthy. And pretty. And crunchy... In hindsight, I'm glad I waited so long to actually make these because now the weather is ...

Caprese Salad Bites with Garlic Balsamic Reduction

May 5, 2015 by Annie Chesson 26 Comments

Okay...once again I am SO far behind on this post. I am sorry! I hate not being consistent about posting and I never want people to wonder "where the heck did she go?" If you read my last post (on April 30th...whoops), you know how crazy this week has been for me! So far, since that last post, I drove to Atlanta, flew to Charlotte, flew to Denver, and flew back to Charlotte to help my mom ...

Brown Sugar Peppered Bacon

April 24, 2015 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Bacon! I love bacon. I think everyone loves bacon. It's delicious and crispy and salty and perfect. But thiiiis bacon takes regular bacon and slaps it in the face. The combination of salty and sweet is one of those classic things that everyone loves - it's the perfect pairing of flavor. It's why the world is obsessed with salted caramel right now - salty and sweet, people! Salty. And. ...

Easy Veggie Lo Mein

April 21, 2015 by Annie Chesson 28 Comments

Lo Mein is probably my favorite dish to get when I go out to a Chinese restaurant. Sometimes I branch out and get something different, but whenever I do I am secretly missing my traditional Lo Mein order every time :). I'm not sure why I waited for so long to create my own Lo Mein recipe at home, but I am so happy we decided to give it a try. It was a huge hit! The tender veggies, bold, ...

Butternut Squash Soup with Curry Roasted Chickpeas

March 31, 2015 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

Before I begin, I have a tip for this recipe. When you are transferring the leftovers to your Tupperwares after the soup is finished, try as hard as possible not to spill half the soup onto the counter/all over the front of your shirt and jeans and then spend 20 minutes cleaning up as your dog eats half the leftovers. Okay now that we covered that, moving on! This soup tastes as good as it looks! ...

Baby Kale, Farro Salad with Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette

March 29, 2015 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Do you ever watch the show Top Chef? If you do, the name Richard Blais might sound familiar to you. He came in second place on his season (still bitter about that) and came back to compete again on Top Chef All Stars, which he won. Anyway, he is my favorite person that has ever been on that show - I love him. Well I found out that he has a restaurant in Atlanta, which is only an hour and a half ...

Broccoli and Brussels Sprout Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette

March 25, 2015 by Annie Chesson 30 Comments

It's always fun when creating a salad to try and find that perfect balance of flavors and textures - crunchy and soft, salty and sweet, etc...That delicious balance is the mark of a great salad, in my opinion. This Broccoli and Brussels Sprout Salad is a perfect example of that! You get the crunch from the broccoli, the salty from the bacon and sunflower seeds, and the chewy/sweet from the ...

Baked Egg Rolls

March 5, 2015 by Annie Chesson 17 Comments

Well Seth is out in the field again for a few days this week, and my two best friends are visiting from North Carolina this weekend, so I am using these Seth-less days to blog in advance so I can hang out with my friends while they are here. It has been a crazy few days in the kitchen! Three recipes in two days - cooked, photographed, and blogged - whew! And my man isn't here to eat everything, so ...

Enchilada Dip

February 9, 2015 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Less than a month ago I posted a recipe for Chicken Enchiladas with Greek Yogurt Sauce, so I was considering not even posting this recipe to avoid overdoing the enchilada theme...but a few other Army wives and I have to host something called a "Coffee" (no, you don't have to serve coffee) for some of the other wives. Apparently it's something that officers' wives need to know how to do before we ...
