Roasted Tomato Soup

October 5, 2016 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Tomato soup and grilled cheese HAS to be one of the most comforting and delicious combinations in the entire world. Agreed? Agreed. The way I've always made tomato soup is sauteing some veggies, adding canned tomatoes, and letting that cook in a pot for however long you want. But this tomato soup uses fresh roasted tomatoes - no cans here. GET OUT OF HERE, CANS! The difference in flavor is ...

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 ...

There is this AMAZING Thai restaurant here in town. Like...amazing.

Stop me if I've told you this already... ...OH WAIT You can't stop me because I'm all the way over here and you're just reading my words from a computer screen. ...

The Most BOSS Salad of All Time

August 12, 2016 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

I mean...the title says it all. I sat here debating for a good ten minutes over whether or not I wanted to title this salad what it actually was (which we will talk about in a minute), or if I should give it a title that immediately alerts you that you are about to make and eat THE MOST BOSS SALAD EVER. Not even exaggerating. I've had a lot of salads, and I've made a lot of salads...this one ...

Herbed Pea and Orzo Salad

July 6, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Remember that time we made an amazing herb condiment packed with basil, cilantro, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil and then folded it into pasta? OH WAIT. That happened today ????. And holy delicious, it was a big bowl of wow-it's-hot-outside-so-let's-make-easy-food-with-bright-flavors-and-be-happy-forever. You pickin' up what I'm puttin' down? Good.

Vegan Chili Stewed Chickpeas

June 21, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

So basically these last few weeks have been a hey-my-husband-is-finally-home-from-his-deployment-so-let's-celebrate-and-go-out-to-eat-every-three-seconds type of situation. We haven't been eating super badly (with the exception of a few several meals), but it definitely hasn't been kale salad and protein shakes over here. We went to Topeka with my sister-in-law and niece yesterday, so we ate at a ...

Roasted Garlic and Avocado Toast

June 17, 2016 by Annie Chesson 12 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 ...
