Crunchy Sesame Kale Salad [21 Day Fix]

March 31, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Yeeeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh kale. Kale is one of ma faves. Well, when it is made right. Kale has the potential to be the most delicious green ever or the most disgusting green ever depending on how you prepare it. Eating raw kale is a leeeeettle bit trickier since it can tend to be pretty tough and fibrous (more on that later [on how to avoid that toughness (how far can I inception this parenthetical ...

Healthy Chocolate Pancakes with Coconut Whipped Cream [21 Day Fix]

March 26, 2016 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

Breakfast is definitely not my favorite meal of the day. Eggs are decent. Yogurt and granola is alright. It's not that I dislike any of it, per se - I would just rather have lunch or dinner food. However, there are a few exceptions, one of which is pancakes! (The other is bacon...because...bacon.) Pancakes are just so delicious! They are fluffy and yummy and fun to make and eat ???. Downside = ...

Crispy Garlic Bread Chickpeas [21 Day Fix]

March 11, 2016 by Annie Chesson 35 Comments

There are just those days when you crave salty and crunchy snacks like nobody's business...#amIright? When I get in these moods, I always want something like chips or popcorn. Popcorn isn't as far up on the "unhealthy scale" as chips...unless you drizzle a tablespoon stick of butter overtop...which of course I never, ever do...obviously. Some people crave candy and chocolate all the time - I crave ...

Reese’s Cup Oatmeal [21 Day Fix]

March 9, 2016 by Annie Chesson 23 Comments

Holy chocolate cravings, this has been an intense week. Usually I don't crave chocolate suuuuper bad. My husband would laugh out loud at that statement. Let me amend...I don't crave chocolate every day, but when I do it gets IINNN-tense. Read: THIS WEEK. Man oh man. There is this superfood shake you drink in the morning throughout the 21 Day Fix, and I drink the chocolate version. This shake has, ...

30 Minute Brown Butter Sage Gnocchi with Spinach and Pine Nuts

February 16, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Gnocchi...Gnocchi, gnocchi, gnocchi. You are so tender and potato-y and delicious. Have you ever had gnocchi before? If you haven't, YOU ARE MISSING OUT, PEOPLE! They are iiiiitttyyy bitty, tiny, cute, adorable little potato dumplings...they sound kind of weird, but they are soft and pillowy and taste like a mix between pasta and a dumpling. That might be a horrible description, but we're goin' ...

10 Minute Black Bean Hummus

February 5, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

When I was in North Carolina last month, my friends and I went out to this brewery where we ordered a few (by "few" I mean four) orders of their amazing black bean hummus. I was so in love with this stuff...I immediately wrote it down in my phone to recreate for a blog post! It is similar to a classic hummus, but there is another layer of flavor and texture present from the black beans. So ...

Crispy Potato Curry [vegan + gluten free]

January 25, 2016 by Annie Chesson 27 Comments

Ah, curry. Creamy, silky, flavor packed curry. There really isn't much that can beat a really delicious curry. The word curry is starting to sound weird...curry, curry, curry. It just has so much flavor! It is the polar opposite of bland and boring. There is really no reason to make plain dinners when you can throw together a simple recipe like this one that is SO much better! So. Much. ...

20 Minute Lemon Parmesan Pasta

January 23, 2016 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

On Monday I posted a "fifteen minute" recipe, and today I'm posting a "twenty minute" recipe...I guess I got a little carried away with my quick and easy meals this week! I'll tell you something, though. Neither of these meals taste like they took twenty minutes or less to make. You know what is an absolutely delicious trio of flavors? I'll tell you...lemon, parmesan, and garlic. Something about ...

Simple Kale Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

January 13, 2016 by Annie Chesson 65 Comments

My best friend's dad is seriously one of the best cooks I have ever met in my life. Megan and I grew up together, and I remember when I would go to her house for dinner, I would always be totally obsessed with anything her dad made. Baaaasically what I'm saying is that he rocks. Anyway, I went to visit Megan and my other best friend in North Carolina for New Years Eve this year, and I stayed at ...
