Chopped Cauliflower Salad - Tender roasted cauliflower diced up and tossed with celery, almonds, and fennel and drizzled with a delicious lemon vinaigrette! Such a hearty and delicious salad that’s perfect for fall! TheGarlicDiaries.com

There's something so fun and satisfying about a salad without any greens! They are super extra hearty, and it's like a bowl full of JUST the toppings (which are the best part anyway, right?!). This salad is definitely hearty, but it's also full of flavors and textures that balance each other out: Roasted, tender cauliflowerCrunchy fresh celery and fennelNutty almondsA bright lemon ...

Instant Pot Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup

Instant Pot Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup - I’m not usually a fan of butternut squash soup, but this Thai version is DREAMS. Creamy, luscious, and full of whole foods and healthy fats! #whole30 #paleo TheGarlicDiaries.com

So, butternut squash soup. Let's discuss for a minute. It's SUCH a popular fall dish - you literally see recipes for it left and right all season long. I've tried and tried and tried to make it, but I can't ever get super excited about it. It's always just a little "meh." I don't WANT to feel this way because I strive to be obsessed with all things fall (I LOVE FALL), but I just can't seem to ...

October 10, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Sheet Pan Tomato Soup - Throw all the veggies onto a sheet pan, roast them up, and blend them all together with some veggie stock to make a delicious roasted tomato soup! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Sheet pan dinners are a thing these days. They're trendy. And for SUPER GOOD REASON - have you tried one?? They are the height of ease and simplicity. They take one pot dinners to the next level because everyone and their mom knows that when you roast something, the flavor automatically gets pumped up to level ten thirteen.

Cauliflower Gnocchi with Garlic Brown Butter

October 2, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Cauliflower Gnocchi - Skip the potatoes and use cauliflower in your gnocchi instead! It’s healthier, just as yummy, and fun to make! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Cauliflower gnocchi is ALL THE RAGE right now. If I had a dime for every Trader Joe's cauliflower gnocchi post I've seen on Insta, I could retire next week. So what's the hype about? Allow me to explain. By ricing cauliflower, steaming it, and then squeezing alllllll the moisture out, you have a substance similar to a cooked potato, which means you can make gnocchi in a much lighter way that ...

Roasted Corn with Cumin Brown Butter - TheGarlicDiaries.com

Before I address any of this, can we all work on compiling a list of every single food item that we could possible slather with brown butter and then get back to each other? That would be v helpful. Now about this corn. Have you ever had roasted corn? How about corn that is generously rolled around in brown butter after cooking? If you answered "no" to one or both of these things, ...

The BEST spice rub ever! Absolutely amazing on any meat and seafood! I even like to use it on veggies. TheGarlicDiaries.com

I love this spice rub so much that I keep a giant jar of it right next to my stove. It is awarded place next to my most used kitchen items: salt and olive oil. That's how much I use it and how much I love it! Anytime I'm cooking any type of meat or seafood (or even veggies!), you can pretty well bet that this spice rub is getting all up in that situation 💃🏻 It is savory, complex, and very ...
