Portion Your Fridge!

April 6, 2015 by Annie Chesson 23 Comments

There is a constant lack of snacks in our fridge and pantry. When we go grocery shopping, I never really think to buy stuff for snacks; I just get food to make dinner and assume there will be random left over ingredients to snack on throughout the week. False. Seth and I are frequent fridge and pantry visitors - walking over in the search for snacks and rarely finding anything ...

Healthy Vegan Chocolate Milkshake

March 17, 2015 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Okay...those of you who follow The Garlic Diaries might think I am starting to sound like a broken record when I say this...but I am going to say it anyway. You know how I've said a million times that I absolutely LOVE it when healthy food tastes unhealthy? This milkshake is literally the epitome of that phrase. This is seriously, and I'm not exaggerating, one of the best milkshakes I have ever ...

Superfood Green Tea Smoothie

March 12, 2015 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Don't you love it when you are eating something that is crazy, insanely, ridiculously good for you but still tastes amazing? It's like when you are eating a doughnut or a cookie and thinking...man, how amazing would it be if eating junk food like this was the heath equivalent of a salad? I love creating recipes that are amazing for you but don't make you feel like you are making a sacrifice to eat ...

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 ...

Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Clusters

February 28, 2015 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

So this recipe was originally supposed to be chocolate peanut butter granola bars...which obviously didn't work out. At first I thought I was going to have to chalk this up to another fail recipe, but after trying the granola clusters, they ended up turning out better than anything I initially imagined! Granola bars have a different texture than straight up granola - they are chewier while granola ...

Roasted Garlic Kale Hummus

February 23, 2015 by Annie Chesson 16 Comments

Alright people. This hummus is amazing. It really is the best hummus I've ever had. It has a soft, velvety texture and an amazing flavor. This hummus goes above and beyond the traditional kind. The roasted garlic and kale add so much extra depth and complexity. The flavor of those two additions don't smack you in the face, but they add so much extra deliciousness to the dip. And it's also a ...

Pimento Cheese Turkey Sliders

February 17, 2015 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Oh my GOSH these are delicious. They are so, so, so flavorful and have so many different textures going on. It is the perfect bite. You have the soft potato roll, the crunch from the bottom of the toasted bun, the crisp bite from the arugula and onion, creamy deliciousness from the pimento cheese, and then a juicy flavor explosion from the slider. Chew that amazing mouthful and repeat. A million ...

Spicy Greek Yogurt Deviled Eggs

February 13, 2015 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

In my opinion, Deviled Eggs are some of the best finger food-appetizer-snacks ever. I absolutely love them. I can eat an entire plate full and still want to go back for more...I have to be really careful when I am at an event where someone brought Deviled Eggs, because if I don't pay attention, I will eat half the plate before everyone else gets to have their fair share...confession. The only ...

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 ...

Pan Fried Dumplings with Soy Chili Peanut Sauce

February 6, 2015 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

So last night Seth and I were watching "New Girl" and we were on that episode in season three when Coach is trying to convince Nick to start working out. For the first five minutes of the episode, it shows Nick eating dumplings from a Chinese restaurant down the street, and Coach keeps asking him "Do you want to be a do-er or a dumplinger??". We were laying there watching this episode and craving ...
