To the Tired Mommas

October 23, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This past week was an exhausting one with my little man. Basically a combo of no sleep + lots and lots of fussing + needing to be bounced and swayed while walking around in order for calm to happen (aka I got a BOSS arm and leg workout 😉). We aren't totally sure what is going on yet, but his pediatrician thinks it sounds like acid reflux or a protein sensitivity - both potentially fixable, so ...

Open Faced Fried Egg Burgers with Green Chili Mayo

October 18, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

What? Oh, hello there. Sorry, I didn't see you for a second. I was preoccupied violently shoving five of these open faced fried egg burgers into my mouth at once and having a moment savoring the delicious perfection that is THIS BURGER. You guys...I'm mildly freaking out at the moment over how delicious these are. It is my new go-to recipe for burgers. The flavor here is OFF THE CHARTS amazing. ...

Crock Pot Meatball Sub Soup

October 13, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Crock pot season, crock pot season, crock pot seaassoonnnn! I'm actually not the biggest fan of crock pots, but I do love them for the coziness. You really only break out your crock pot to cook fall and winter food. Fall and winter food is cozy. Thus...crock pots are cozy. See the logical trail? My only issue with crock pots is that I don't like to use them if the recipe would be just as good and ...

Pork in Garlic Sauce

October 2, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Pork in Garlic Sauce is one of my all time favorite take out dishes. It's probs between this and lo mein for the top slot- it's hard to beat a good lo mein! But if I'm not ordering lo mein, you best believe there will be a steaming hot container of Pork in Garlic Sauce knocking on my door in 20-30 minutes 👅👅👅. The creation of this recipe is something I have toiled over for quite some time. I ...

Back in Business!

September 25, 2017 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

OH MY GOSH. It's been years since we've chatted. Okay months, but it feels like years. This is the longest I've gone without blogging since I started! So let's sit down, grab a cup of coffee (preferably Pumpkin Spice since it is now September/Fall/the best time of year EVA), maybe a cookie or five, and catch up. The first and most glaringly important thing to update you on is our brand new, ...

Hello!!! I missed you, internet frands. It was a wonderful, exhausting, and impossibly short Christmas break, and I had a fantastic time. How was your break?? What did you do?? Where did you go??

My Fall Bucket List

September 8, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

I have totally talked about fall too much lately. It has been mentioned heavily in my last three or four posts...I'M SORRY FOR MY OBSESSION. Not only is it my obsession, but Seth and I were in Colorado this past weekend visiting friends, which means I wasn't able to cook blog food, which means I have no recipes to post because nothing is photographed. So....Fall Bucket Lists! Whenever I see ...

Grilled Spring Veggie Pasta Salad

May 28, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Life be cray sometimes, amiright? Because of this fact, last week when we were all signing up for things to bring to our potluck lunch as a "school is over!" celebration at work, I thought, "Hey, self. Let's double dip here and make a post out of whatever we sign up for. Great idea! You're so clever. You should go to Target later to reward yourself." So I signed up for pasta salad and then ...

Crispy Garlic Bread Chickpeas [21 Day Fix]

March 11, 2016 by Annie Chesson 35 Comments

There are just those days when you crave salty and crunchy snacks like nobody's business...#amIright? When I get in these moods, I always want something like chips or popcorn. Popcorn isn't as far up on the "unhealthy scale" as chips...unless you drizzle a tablespoon stick of butter overtop...which of course I never, ever do...obviously. Some people crave candy and chocolate all the time - I crave ...

Loaded 21 Day Fix Pizza

February 29, 2016 by Annie Chesson 19 Comments

Pizza and sushi. The two best foods that have ever existed in the world of food. If you don't like sushi, I can forgive you. Sushi can be a little bit funky, and there are some interesting textures goin' on in there with the raw fish. But pizza? Evveerryyone loves pizza. If you don't love pizza, then I don't love you. Just kidding. I still love you. Just a little bit less, pizza hater. So the ...
