Date Night Creamy Roasted Vegetable Risotto

November 12, 2020 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Date Night Creamy Roasted Vegetable Risotto - The risotto is creamy and loaded with flavor, there’s a tender, roasted vegetable in every bite, and the combination of everything is a date night dream. Bonus - it’s dairy free! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Date-night-ins are wonderful for a few reasons: If you have kids, getting a babysitter can be expensive and a little complicated. I know that for us - especially now that we hvae 3 kids, one of which is still super young - we don't leave a babysitter to handle bedtime on her own. Less because we are worried about the kids being okay and more because I don't really want to strap a solo ...

Blackened Grilled Chicken with Peach and Radish Salsa

July 25, 2019 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Do you have a favorite fruit? My favorite fruit choice is slightly complicated. My allllllll time favorite fruit is peaches.

I can get down with a slightly under ripe pear or an under/over ripe banana - and I don't worry ...
