How To: The Perfect Soft Boiled Egg

January 16, 2019 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

People. Have you ever ventured into the world of a soft boiled egg? Oh...my gosh. It is heaven. Soft, velvety, silky egg yolk that is perfectly encased within a tender, perfectly set egg white. I had never tried making one before this...isn't that crazy? I was missing out on a whole world of egg perfection! It just seemed daunting to me. How do you find the perfect balance of runny yolk + set ...

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 ...

Overnight Crock-Pot Pumpkin Apple Butter

October 10, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

If you are from an area of the country/world that doesn't have apple butter, and you've never heard of it/don't know what it is, allow me to please explain to you the beauty of this delicious item. Apple butter. There's actually no butter, but "butter" is in the title because of the smooth, velvety spreadability of the final, pureed, slow cooked apple product. It's like jam in the way that you ...

Maple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Cups

October 9, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

When you are a parent, the more super quick and easy shortcuts you can take with various things throughout the day are KEY.Β  I am a big fan of these shortcuts when it comes to breakfast. My son loves breakfast - it's the best he eats all day - baaasically an adult portion of food. What I usually do is make him a protein pancake (Kodiak Cakes FTW) and a smoothie. He loves the pancake, it's not ...

Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread

September 28, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This is what we call doing a swan dive into fall with a swimsuit made out of leaves, goggles crafted from pine cones, and a swim cap made from a pumpkin. Summer is officially over, and I am MORE than happy to warmly welcome my all time favorite season! Come on in, fall! Please, stay as long as you'd like. Preferably through winter - we can just skip all that freezing coldness this year right? I'm ...

Bruschetta Panzanella Salad

August 27, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

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.

Curry Chicken Salad

August 22, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Chicken salad can be preeetttyy iffy for me. Sometimes it can just be a pile of dry chicken coated in what seems to be straight mayo...hard pass. I don't love it when it's made with canned chicken, and I definitely don't love it if I can taste the mayo. If it's made with rotisserie chicken, that's better, but the best case scenario is this (πŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌ) right here, friends! This chicken salad has a ...

Hello there, summer, may I celebrate you with the ultimate summer appetizer/snack/side i.e. grilled peaches? With a light and creamy filling? And a drizzle of black pepper honey? Aaaaand some sliced basil? Good, I'm glad you approve. A perfectly ripe peach is arguably one of my favorite things in the whole world to eat...it is tender, so sweet, and SO DELICIOUS.
