15 Minute Peppermint Bark

December 13, 2017 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Hello, my name is Annie, and I am incompetent when it comes to baking. I rarely post desserts on here because I've been known to ruin a BOXED BROWNIE mix. Aka I can't bake. Hence why the first dessert I've posted on here in I don't know how long is literally melted chocolate that you spread onto a baking sheet...holllaaahhhhh - this is my kind of homemade dessert! And the cool thing is that ...

Vegetarian Bolognese Sauce

December 12, 2017 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

I'm bout to have some Italians chasing me down with pitchforks for using the oxymoron "Vegetarian Bolognese"...but wait! It's yummy. And it looks like a bolognese. And it feels like a bolognese. And it has a lot of the same ingredients...so, can we still be frands? I realize that I just created a vegetarian version of a super traditionally meat loaded sauce...kind of like saying "Vegetarian Fried ...

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Maple Butter Sauce

December 4, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Oh. My. Gosh. This is the epitome of food. Literally I cannot even tell you the love I have for this dish. It is ABSOLUTELY one of my all time favorite recipes, and I could honestly and truly eat it every single day and be happy forever. The gnocchi is tender with a slightly sweet earthiness from the sweet potato, the sauce is rich and savory with a subtle maple flavor and a hint of garlic...it's ...

The Easiest Roasted Butternut Squash

November 16, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This really is the easiest thing ever. I discovered its simplicity when I was roasting up my squash for this Butternut Mac and Cheese. I was going for the easiest and tiniest amount of prep possible since it was part of another recipe, but it ended up being SUUPPPAAA BOSS. I was close to just stopping and making it its own recipe right then and there, but I decided to wait and finish up the Mac ...

Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese

November 6, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Mac and cheese that has zero butter and flour but instead is loaded with a bunch of pureed butternut squash...GET YOU SOME. You guys...so many good things to say about this recipe. This takes a regular mac and cheese and adds such an awesome element of earthiness with a smooth, velvety texture from that butternut squash. The way you make this is similar to how you would make a regular mac and ...

3 Cheese Quinoa Cakes

October 27, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Can you go wrong with anything that is titled "3 cheese"? You definitely can't go wrong with these quinoa cakes, I know that. They are dense, cheesy, crispy, and super filling and hearty. Eat them as a side, or pile a few on your plate for a whole meal. They are seriously delicious! This recipe was actually originally supposed to just be three cheese quinoa...just a bowl of cheesy quinoa. Which ...

Or just grab the whole bowl...who are we kidding, no one would say no to a massive bowl of pasta after a long day #amIright?

Goat Cheese, Caramelized Onion, and Pine Nut Toasts

October 9, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Ima have to make this one short today, friends. Today has been busy and crazy, and little Mr. Ford has been a high maintenance little nugget. Fussy, fussy, fussy any time I try and rock him to sleep. After asking a bunch of people for advice, it turns out that the magic trick is to just stand up, walk him around, and sway/bounce him. Apparently he just hates sitting and being rocked to sleep with ...
