Whole Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Reduction

April 10, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Brussels sprouts are the most underrated vegetable in the world. People have been brainwashed by their grandparents and parents boiling them to the consistency of absolute mush and then dumping them on their plate and force feeding them mushy globs of questionable smelling sprouts. BUT - listen, these poor brussels sprouts have just been wildly misunderstood. Because when cooked correctly and ...

Lentil Curry with a Sunny Side Up Egg

April 3, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Currrryyyyyy. Come to me with all your cozy, warm, spiced goodness. COME TO ME. Curry is one of my all time favorite foods! Usually that's more along the lines of Thai curry, and this one is more of an Indian curry, but still - regardless of what type of curry deliciousness is happening in my bowl, I am here for it. Usually I make curry with just veggies and (usually) chicken with a coconut ...

Thai Tofu Lettuce Wraps

March 25, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I embarked upon a mission recently. A tofu mission. Two of my friends here are vegetarian (vegan as often as they can), and so we talk a decent amount about yummy vegetarian and vegan food. They get tofu often when we go out to restaurants, and they like to cook it at home. I have tried to cook tofu a few times at home, and every time I've attempted, it has been a RAGING FAIL. Like...immediately ...

Nooch Popcorn

March 18, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Homemade popcorn is one of my all time favorite things to eat. I can crush an insane amount of it in one sitting - it's slightly inhuman. Most people I know aren't super used to making homemade popcorn, but it is SO easy, and it's a million times better, IMO. I use something called a Whirley Pop, but you can use a lot of different things. I've seen air poppers for popcorn that are pretty cool, ...

Savory Poached Egg Oatmeal

March 15, 2019 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Alright, I'ma need you to bear with me through this one with some TRUST, people. Because this recipe sounds weird, and it might be a little hard to wrap your head around. Savory oatmeal...I was the most skeptical of all time when recipe testing this. I've only ever had oatmeal with things like brown sugar, maple syrup, bananas, cinnamon, fruit, etc...always sweet and breakfast-y - NEVER savory and ...

Spinach and Ricotta Lasagna Roll-Ups

March 13, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

One of my best friends is a vegetarian, and since moving to Charlotte, I see her WAY more often (one of the best parts about living here!). She is here for dinner a decent amount, and it's been really fun coming up with vegetarian stuff to cook when she comes over. This lasagna is seriously the ultimate vegetarian meal - it is loaded with flavor and comfort, and you'll never miss the meat! I ...

Quinoa Walnut Taco Meat

March 11, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Taco night needs to be a mandatory occasion in households across America. Can we all get on board with this? Tacos are such a delicious, simple, and homey dinner! I know a lot of families that have a specific night every single week where the family loads up on as many tacos as they can pack in their bellies, and I also know that when tacos are a weekly occasion, it's good to be able to switch ...

Garlic Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes

March 8, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Can we just take a moment here? Look at that beautiful little tomato. Stuffed with garlic, drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and then roasted for an entire hour so it just condenses and becomes ultra soft, sweet, and loaded with roasted, caramelized flavor. What you're looking at here is tomato dreams, people. The peak of tomato perfection. What each ...

How To: The Perfect Soft Boiled Egg

January 16, 2019 by Annie Chesson 22 Comments

People. Have you ever ventured into the world of a soft boiled egg? Oh...my gosh. It is heaven. Soft, velvety, silky egg yolk that is perfectly encased within a tender, perfectly set egg white. I had never tried making one before this...isn't that crazy? I was missing out on a whole world of egg perfection! It just seemed daunting to me. How do you find the perfect balance of runny yolk + set ...

Peppermint Oreo Crunch Cake Mix Cookies

December 19, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

I mean...is it cool that I'm sliding another chocolate + peppermint recipe in here two weeks in a row, or is that too repetitive? Does it make any difference if I tell you that these cookies are super simple and will fill your whole body with Christmas joy? It's honestly hard for me to even think of any desserts or treats during Christmas that don't involve peppermint in one way or ...
