Caramelized Butternut Squash with Pecans - This cubed butternut squash is cooked until deeply golden brown and then pecans, garlic, and herbs are thrown in for the last few minutes until aromatic and flavorful! SO good - its the best butternut squash! TheGarlicDiaries.com

This. Butternut. Squash. Is. NEXT LEVEL, you guys. Butternut squash is usually the star in soups, you don't see it quite as often served on its own as a side. But, man oh man oh man, this caramelized butternut squash is to die for! The sweetness of the veggie itself is deepened by the caramelization, but then we've got pecans, lots of garlic, sage, and thyme thrown in for the last few minutes - ...

Instant Pot Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup

October 29, 2019 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

Instant Pot Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup - I’m not usually a fan of butternut squash soup, but this Thai version is DREAMS. Creamy, luscious, and full of whole foods and healthy fats! #whole30 #paleo TheGarlicDiaries.com

So, butternut squash soup. Let's discuss for a minute. It's SUCH a popular fall dish - you literally see recipes for it left and right all season long. I've tried and tried and tried to make it, but I can't ever get super excited about it. It's always just a little "meh." I don't WANT to feel this way because I strive to be obsessed with all things fall (I LOVE FALL), but I just can't seem to ...

Thai Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup

June 6, 2019 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

I mean...I know it's June, but can we all be okay with soup anyway? No? What if I tell you that it is loaded with fresh veggies, curry paste, coconut milk, and - wait for it - a few big scoops of cashew butter? Okay good I'm so glad we are on the same page. It's hearty, it's smooth, it's loaded with thai flavor and healthy fats, and it is the MOST delicious, even though it's a hot soup in ...

Bourbon Brown Sugar Glazed Ham

November 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Um, please stand by while I overcome an emotional moment while g(L)azing (get it?!) at the crunchy exterior of this ham... - - - Thank you for your patience. People, you have not lived unless this ham has been in your life.

Baked 3 Cheese Mac and Cheese

November 13, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I'm a firm - FIRM - believer in mac and cheese being a mandatory element of a successful and delicious Thanksgiving spread. I've found two parties here: people that are with me and see it as a necessary accompaniment just like stuffing or mashed potatoes, and then the people who never include it with their other sides. If you are in that second group...why? Who hurt you? Jk. BUT let's talk ...

But wait...how adorbs are these?! Don't these bring you so much satisfaction just looking at them? Picture this: you are setting up your thanksgiving spread, and you have twelve of these little cuties sitting out on a serving tray, ready for someone to just grab and place next to their pile of turkey, ready to be smothered in gravy and eaten all together in one glorious bite. I love thinking of ...
