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 ...

Date Night Creamy Roasted Vegetable Risotto

November 12, 2020 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Date Night Creamy Roasted Vegetable Risotto - The risotto is creamy and loaded with flavor, there’s a tender, roasted vegetable in every bite, and the combination of everything is a date night dream. Bonus - it’s dairy free! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Date-night-ins are wonderful for a few reasons: If you have kids, getting a babysitter can be expensive and a little complicated. I know that for us - especially now that we hvae 3 kids, one of which is still super young - we don't leave a babysitter to handle bedtime on her own. Less because we are worried about the kids being okay and more because I don't really want to strap a solo ...

Say hello to the ULTIMATE easy homemade pasta sauce, fam. It's a sheet pan dinner in pasta sauce form. We roast a sheet pan of cherry tomatoes, onion, and garlic low and slow - a whole hour in the oven.

Grilled Summer Squash and Burrata Pasta

October 8, 2020 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Grilled Summer Squash and Burrata Pasta - This is seriously one of my all time favorite pasta dishes, and it is the EPITOME of summer perfection! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Alright, before I dive in here, I hate that I'm posting this after the start of fall because it is such a summery recipe, BUT - I wrote and photographed the recipe before I started maternity leave, and it's so SO good that I just have to post it anyway. Even though fall has begun and we want all the fall foods right now! If you live in a place that's still super warm and feels summery, give this ...

Caramelized Onion and Fontina Cast Iron Pizzas

June 18, 2020 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Caramelized Onion and Fontina Pizza with Arugula - This delicious pizza is a little bit sweet and super savory, all finished off with a peppery bite of fresh arugula! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Pizza is one of my top five favorite foods - call me basic and boring, but I LOVE IT DEEPLY. We have tried several ways to make pizza at home and achieve that crispy bottom crust without a pizza stone, but we hadn't ever had much success. Pizza stones are great, but they are giant and HEAVY, and I've never been good at transferring a pizza from the peel to the stone. I wanted an easy at-home ...
