Grilled Veggie Tacos with Cilantro Lime Yogurt

June 12, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Okay so here’s the thing, I am not vegetarian. I eat meat a decent amount. And I also love tacos. Now that we have all that covered, these are MY FAVORITE tacos ever. And, like I said, I love tacos. Love. These take the cake, fam - no meat and all! The lightly charred tortillas. The simple avocado mash at the base. The medley of perfectly grilled veggies that have the delicious smokey, charred ...

World’s Easiest Instant Pot Frozen Shrimp

March 27, 2019 by Annie Chesson 83 Comments

First things first, I need everyone to drop everything they are doing and focus on only this for the next ten minutes, because it is absolutely mandatory that you understand the magic of this shrimp. This is my favorite new recipe, and I have made it twice within one week (and have another bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer to make it again)! It. Is. Revolutionary. Reasons: It no joke takes ...

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 ...

Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli

February 13, 2019 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

I basically find myself craving Chinese takeout all the time...for SURE multiple times a week. Why? Is it because it tastes so dang good or is it because of the simplicity of just being able to run in and grab it from the counter and peace out, maybe sneaking a few bites in the car on the way home 😬? It's probably a combo of both. The problem with this is that Chinese takeout is usually ...

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 ...

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 ...

Beef Stroganoff

October 1, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Can I just start by saying that this is like THE definition of comfort food? Noodles smothered in a creamy, flavorful sauce loaded up with tender ground beef, mushrooms, onion, and garlic. It's just GOOD - that's the best way to describe it. Just straight up good food. Beef stroganoff is one of those cafeteria slash frozen food classics that you always seem to see. I'm talking the overcooked ...

Bruschetta Panzanella Salad

August 27, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Let's talk about the beautiful thing that is panzanella. Have you ever heard of it before? Ever eaten it? If you don't know what it is, allow me to drop some knowledge on you...panzanella is literally bread salad. Bread. Salad. Italy, you really, REALLY came through for us here, friend. Panzanella (no big shocker here) is one of my all time favorite salads. I've made lots of different kinds, my ...
