2 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls

April 26, 2021 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

2 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls - These healthy treats are SO easy to make, only require 2 ingredients, and satiate that sweet tooth in the best way.

When we did our first round of Whole 30 years ago, I found out I was pregnant about half way through, and from the second I become pregnant to the second my babies are born, I crave sweets like NOBODY'S BUSINESS. But on Whole 30 you can't have sweets. We were at the grocery store one week, and I found these things called date rolls - only ingredients were unsweetened coconut and dates, which ...

June 4, 2020 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Oven Baked Fries with Lemon Garlic Dip - Skip the deep frier and make these healthier fries instead! They are addicting, so satisfying, and will become a new weekly fave! TheGarlicDiaries.com

So I first recipe tested these fries probably three or four weeks ago, and I've basically made them multiple times a week since then.

They are one of the best things the lovely people of this planet have invented. True ...

Fresh Watermelon Mint Pops

August 1, 2019 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

I'm sorry, give me a quick sec, I'm still recovering from the slap of summer that just hit me across the face with these watermelon pops. I think I'm good now... Let's talk. These popsicles are pure summer - they use WATERMELON (helloooo) which is the epitome of summer if you ask me, and they are frozen, frosty treats, which help cool you off on those hot hot hooooot summer days. They ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nooch Popcorn

March 18, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Homemade popcorn is one of my all time favorite things to eat. I can crush an insane amount of it in one sitting - it's slightly inhuman. Most people I know aren't super used to making homemade popcorn, but it is SO easy, and it's a million times better, IMO. I use something called a Whirley Pop, but you can use a lot of different things. I've seen air poppers for popcorn that are pretty cool, ...
