Avocado “Toast” with a Sunny Side Up Egg

March 16, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Okay, so I'm excited about this one. Breakfast can be a struggle for me, especially while doing Whole 30. I get sick of the same breakfasts over and over again, and I get frustrated with the lack of options. When I'm not on Whole 30, I tend to cycle between phases of eggs, protein pancakes, sometimes things like oatmeal or toast, and then when I get super sick of breakfast all together, just ...

Roasted Root Vegetable Soup with Fried Sage Leaves

March 9, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

I'm trying to make the best of the fact that it's still wintery here in Kansas. Whenever it gets to this time of year and spring is so close I can almost taste it, I start to LOSE MA MIND. I don't want to be a negative Nancy over here, but I freaking hate cold weather. Winter itself has some nice perks: Christmas, coziness, and cold weather food, but the cold weather itself makes me want to curl ...

Creamy Vegan Cashew Curry Sauce

March 2, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Hold the phone, I just died. THIS SAUCE GIVES ME ALL THE FEELS. It is... Impossibly creamy Rich Loaded with warm, spiced curry flavor Literally delicious on anything and everything your mind can fathom pouring it on Here's the thing - I enjoy dairy a lot. I like the richness that cream, milk, and cheese brings to a dish. So I was thinking that part of paleo and Whole 30 would be a ...

Instant Pot Curry Rice with Almonds

February 13, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

OH MY GOSH I'M SORRY DON'T HATE ME FOR BEING SUPER MIA FOR THE LAST MILLION WEEKS. That spontaneous trip to North Carolina totally threw off my blogging schedule, and after that I basically went directly to Las Vegas to visit my brother and sister in law, and I just got back from that trip yesterday. I'M SORRY! I have felt slightly guilty about it in the back of my mind for the last few weeks as ...

One Pot Smoky Lentil Stew

January 17, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Do you want to know what happened in Kansas today? They closed schools because of EXTREME COLD. Like...no snow...no ice...no dangerous driving conditions...just cold weather. The concern is that they don't want kids waiting outside for the buses when it's like negative ten degrees. So hopefully that gives you a nice frigid visual of the  weather outside right now. Growing up in North Carolina ...

Hot Cheesy Corn Dip

January 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Okay, I mean...let's just be real with each other for a second. Is there anyone out there who doesn't have an emotionally intimate moment with their computer screen when they hear words like hot+cheesy+corn+dip in one title? How could this dip possibly not be the most delicious chip topper ever when it's cheesy, creamy, and loaded with sweet kernels of corn? If I'm being honest, I could go to TOWN ...

Roasted Tomatillo Stewed Chickpeas

January 10, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Chickpeas are my new food obsession. They are like these tender and hearty morsels of yumminess, and they have way better flavor and texture than other beans - less mushy, more tasty! This recipe right here, friends, is THA best chickpea recipe I've ever had. Here's the situation we're talkin' about here - tomatillos, red onions, and garlic roast in the oven and are then pureed. Meanwhile, the ...

Microwave Mac and Cheese in a Mug

December 20, 2017 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

It's official. My life is changed forever now that I can have a piping hot mug of delicious mac and cheese in five minutes FLAT. No joke on that five minutes - the pasta and water cook in the microwave for four minutes, during which you grate your cheddar cheese. The mug comes out of the microwave, gets a quick stir, the cheese and half and half get thrown in, and after another thirty seconds in ...

Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies

December 18, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Um, hello. Remember last week when I posted this Peppermint Bark recipe and went on and on about how I can't bake in the slightest? STILL TRUE but makes the creation of these cookies that much more miraculous. I mean, I 100% cheated by using cake mix, but I'm okay with that. Cheating is highly necessary for me when it comes to baking. On top of the chocolate cake mix that we use as the base for ...

Roasted Potato and Fennel Soup

December 15, 2017 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Kindly do me a favor and throw away - no, burn - every other soup recipe you've ever made and MAKE THIS AND ONLY THIS FOREVER. I'm fo reals. It's the only soup you'll ever need. We struck gold here, people. This soup is seriously one of the best things I've ever eaten, and it is ab-so-LUTELY going on my repeat list and, more importantly, my make-for-people-when-they-come-over-for-dinner list, and ...
