Overnight Slow Cooker Apple Butter

September 27, 2016 by Annie Chesson 15 Comments

Okay, halllooooo FALL. I know, I know...I'm five days late. Absolutely unacceptable for someone like me who lives through their entire year looking forward to the first day of fall. BUT, can I please make up for my lateness by giving you this recipe for the best apple butter in the whole entire world? Okay, good. Preesh. I will explain my VERY long (over two weeks...yikes) absence from this ...

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 ...

Popped Quinoa Crunch Bars

August 15, 2016 by Annie Chesson 24 Comments

Like...what is this. It might be the coolest thing ever. Wrap your minds around this, people - you are eating a chocolate peanut butter swirl bar, but WAIT. It has a bunch of quinoa loaded up in there too. Say whaaaaaat?!? That's right. Popped quinoa. In your chocolate bar. What is this life...I'm diggin' it. Chances are high that you are sitting there saying "Raw quinoa in my chocolate bar? No ...

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 ...

Grilled Spring Veggie Pasta Salad

May 28, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Life be cray sometimes, amiright? Because of this fact, last week when we were all signing up for things to bring to our potluck lunch as a "school is over!" celebration at work, I thought, "Hey, self. Let's double dip here and make a post out of whatever we sign up for. Great idea! You're so clever. You should go to Target later to reward yourself." So I signed up for pasta salad and then ...

Pineapple, Basil, and Coconut Ice Pops

May 10, 2016 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Welp, it's officially hot outside in Kansas. And I am LOVING IT. Seriously, I hate being cold. I violently hate it. It just immediately frustrates me intensely when I am freezing. Hence, winter = no bueno. Except for snow and Christmas - I like those things. Cold weather just hurts, know what I mean? Yes, hot weather can be extremely uncomfortable, but it doesn't hurt like cold weather does! Cold ...

Avocado, Arugula, and Tomato Toasts with Easy Balsamic Syrup

April 26, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Sooooo....I realized once I was DONE editing these pictures for tonight's post that I literally just posted a "toast" recipe last week. Myyyyyyy bad. Gettin' a little repetitive over here. Once I had that realization, I did recall a faint memory of thinking "Okay, it's alright to post another toast recipe as long as I publish it at the end of the week so it's not back to back." Brilliant thought, ...

Peach, Goat Cheese, and Basil Toasts

April 20, 2016 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Oh. My. Gosh. Listen to me right now. I have instructions for you. Stand up, get in your car, drive to the nearest grocery store, buy a whole grain baguette, goat cheese, peaches, and basil, go home, and MAKE THESE RIGHT THIS SECOND. You guys. It is not often that I lose my mind this much over a recipe. Yes, I only post things on here that I love, love, looooovveee, but there are only a handful ...

BLT Chicken Salad Stuffed Avocados

April 19, 2016 by Annie Chesson 32 Comments

YES. This happened. We made some healthy BLT chicken salad and shoved it inside/heaped it on top of an avocado. When I say "we" made, I really just mean me. And Boone, who sat at my feet. And blitz, who kept trying to take bites of the lettuce. She loves her some lettuce. Her true obsession is kale, though. Kale is the cheese to her macaroni.  The syrup to her waffles. The BLT chicken salad to her ...

Five 21 Day Fix Snacks

March 24, 2016 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

Here's one thing that can be challenging about the 21 Day Fix: it sometimes feels like you are eating a lot of the same stuff over and over again. For me, I find a few meals that are super healthy and fit in with the container portions really well, and I will eat those meals (or meals very similar to them) several times a week. A lot of the time for snacks (and by a lot of the time, I pretty ...
