Peppermint Bark Pretzel Dips

December 12, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Christmas treats! One of my favorite things about this season is making super fun, yummy little holiday goodies. There's just something about it that feels so seasonal and fun, not to mention Christmas flavors are the bomb.com, man. Things like peppermint and hot chocolate - it all just makes me a happy camper! I've been in Christmas mode for a while now, but I've had to be covert about it. My ...

20 Minute One Pot Pumpkin Parmesan Pasta

November 28, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Did you all have the best Thanksgiving ever?? I hope it was one for the books, and I hope you are still polishing off the rest of those delicious leftovers. I know after the marathon cooking event that is Thanksgiving, a lot of people (myself included) like to take a little break from intensive cooking for a little while and grab some takeout, eat lots of leftovers, or just stick with easy peasy ...

Apple Cheddar Soup

November 1, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Okay, wait. Wait, wait, and wait. Have you ever tried a wedge of apple that is topped with a slice of cheddar cheese? Have you?? If not - Ima need you to add apples and cheddar cheese to your grocery list so you can experience this snack. If you've never heard of this, this probably sounds gross and crazy and weird to you.

Refined Sugar Free Apple Sauce

October 24, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Y'all. I wish I had footage that I could attach here of my one year old fiending so hard over this apple sauce. His little body just bounces up and down when I pull it out of the fridge and he just wants spoonful after spoonful after spoonful. I may or may not sneak a few spoonfuls myself, because this apple sauce is BAE - not just for the chillins. It's easy to make, it's healthy, and it's a ...

Overnight Crock-Pot Pumpkin Apple Butter

October 10, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

If you are from an area of the country/world that doesn't have apple butter, and you've never heard of it/don't know what it is, allow me to please explain to you the beauty of this delicious item. Apple butter. There's actually no butter, but "butter" is in the title because of the smooth, velvety spreadability of the final, pureed, slow cooked apple product. It's like jam in the way that you ...

Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate

October 4, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

First instruction that is absolutely mandatory in order for us to continue with this conversation: go to your kitchen pantry, grab all those little Swiss Miss instant hot chocolate packets, and throw them away or put them in a box to donate. STAT. GO DO IT. Okay, now that that's all worked out, say hello to this delicious homemade hot chocolate that is baaaaaasically just as easy as throwing ...

Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread

September 28, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This is what we call doing a swan dive into fall with a swimsuit made out of leaves, goggles crafted from pine cones, and a swim cap made from a pumpkin. Summer is officially over, and I am MORE than happy to warmly welcome my all time favorite season! Come on in, fall! Please, stay as long as you'd like. Preferably through winter - we can just skip all that freezing coldness this year right? I'm ...

Fresh Tomato Pasta

September 26, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

WHEW - alright people, we are settled back at home in Kansas after a 3 + week long trip to North Carolina. Seth had a 3 week training in Georgia, and we have tons of family and friends in North Carolina just a few states away (almost said one state and then checked myself and looked at a US map...Lord please never let me teach geography), so Ford and I decided to tag along and hang out in North ...
