Cheesy Mexican Rice Casserole

January 11, 2016 by Annie Chesson 24 Comments

Hello, strangers! It has been quite a while since I've been able to make my way over to this little corner of the internet. Between holidays, SO MUCH TRAVEL, and less than satisfactory weather in Kansas (meaning dark and stormy every day) ((meaning photography = no no)), I have definitely had some issues bringing you three posts a week. But we had sunny weather this past weekend, and I was able ...

Single Serving Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate

December 7, 2015 by Annie Chesson 23 Comments

It's hot chocolate season!! It's chilly outside, the car windows are frosted over each morning, and it's the perfect weather for a blanket, hoodie, fire place, and big steaming mug of hot chocolate. Hot chocolate means two things to me: Winter...aka Christmas...aka snow...(love snow). Comfort. I mean, come on. Is there anything more comforting than cup of hot cocoa? And the addition of ...

3 Ingredient Vanilla Greek Yogurt

December 2, 2015 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Um...what happened in November...? I feel like November passed in three days. Guess how many times I posted in November? GUESS?!?! Four. Four times. Whoops. I'm sorryyyyyyyyyyy. I don't even know what happened. Actually I do know what happened. I traveled my FACE off. When you have a full time job and are only able to cook/photograph blog food on weekends, traveling on said weekends makes ...

Fancy Schmancy Grilled Cheese

November 18, 2015 by Annie Chesson 51 Comments

Um....excuse me while I have a moment with this grilled cheese. This. Grilled. Cheese. Is. The. Best. Thing. Ever. Yes, I have been known to say that a lot about many different things...but fo reals. THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER. I died when I ate it. I died and went to crispy, buttery, cheesy, flavor heaven. And I wanted to stay there forever. You know what I would wish for if I had one wish? I ...

Brown Butter Sage Roasted Sweet Potatoes

November 11, 2015 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

Um, yeah. So Thanksgiving is basically in two weeks. Just letting you know in case you COMPLETELY lost track of time like I did. Can we just discuss for a minute the impossibility that Thanksgiving is already in two weeks? Anybody? Anybody?!?! Maybe it's just me who is shocked by this sudden realization. In the spirit of the ridiculously fast approaching holiday...side dishes!! Like these ...

3 Cheese Stuffed Garlic Crescent Rolls

October 28, 2015 by Annie Chesson 24 Comments

Thhhiiiissss, this, this, this, this times a MILLION. These crescent rolls...are just so...so...good. And they are gluten free + vegan!!!! .... Psshhh....yeah right. These are the least gluten free/vegan/healthy things ever. I usually try and stick to healthy(ish) recipes on here, but I also like to step out of the box and make something fun and junk food-y every once in a while ?. Besides, ...

Apple Pie Cookies with Cinnamon Whipped Cream

October 14, 2015 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness. THESE ARE THE BEST THINGS EVER!! As you all know by now, I am not a baker. Desserts are not my strong point, so I had very little faith that these little cuties would turn out well. But they were ammmmaazziinnngggg. I'm not sure how much credit I can actually take for these since I used pre-made pie crust and canned apple pie filling (....I am ...

Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte

October 12, 2015 by Annie Chesson 18 Comments

Let's just chat for a minute about Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Before we chat, though, I need to tell you that I am in fact one of those annoying people who are absolutely OBSESSED in a non-socially-acceptable-way with Pumpkin Spice Lattes... #sorryimnotsorry #pumpkinspiceforever. So. Chat. Pumpkin Spice Lattes. They are one of the most exciting parts of fall. The sweet, pumpkin-y, spicy, foamy, hot ...

Easy Crock-Pot Italian Pasta

October 5, 2015 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

This recipe was super out of my comfort zone - probably more so than anything I have ever posted! I would definitely call it a "hail mary" in football terms... It was extremely experimental and used ingredients that I normally am not a fan of (eggplant...EGGPLANT!!). Say extremely experimental five times fast... See? I not only bring you yummy food but also entertaining tongue twisters! You're ...

Roasted Veggie Tart with Gouda and Herbed Cream Cheese

September 29, 2015 by Annie Chesson 20 Comments

?. That is all I have to say...?. Because what could describe this delicious tart better than a "heart-for-eyes" emoji? Nothing........duh. Sooo...this tart. IT'S SO GOOD. Layers and layers of flavor and deliciousness. First layer = Flaky puff pastry dough. If you can't find it (me! What up with the lack of puff pastry dough, Kansas???), you can use Pillsbury biscuit dough instead. Second ...
