Skinny Pumpkin Alfredo

October 3, 2016 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Fall is officially in full swing over here at the Chesson household, people. I've got my fall placemats out, my ceramic pumpkin on the kitchen table, my pumpkin scented candles strategically placed in various locations around the house...you name it, IT'S HAPPENING. And I am loving every second of it while basking in this wonderful fall weather. Speaking of fall weather...I'm obsessed. Obsessed. ...

Quick and Simple 5 Ingredient Teriyaki Chicken

September 30, 2016 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Okay, this is officially the easiest recipe that has ever been posted on the internet. Or written in any cookbook. Or put on YouTube. To reiterate...THIS IS THE EASIEST RECIPE EVER. It only takes five ingredients and twenty minutes to make! The supa short time and craycray few ingredients aren't what make this recipe so awesome, though... What makes it so awesome is how BOMB it tastes despite the ...

30 Minute One Pot Barbecue Chicken Quinoa Skillet

June 1, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Can I confess something to you? I know you won't tell anyone. For my entire life - every single day of my entire life - I thought barbecue was spelled barbeque. When did I come to the realization that this is, in fact, false? I'm glad you ask. It was about five minutes ago. I had made my Pinterest image and everything (that I put at the bottom of each post) with barbecue spelled with a "Q." Let's ...

Warm Brown Rice and Kale Salad with Goat Cheese and Almonds

April 29, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Do you ever go through food phases? For example, you are in a sandwich phase, so you end up craving and eating a sandwich at least a few times a week. A Qdoba phase (my life) where you end up eating a burrito at least once a week? Basically, by food phase, I mean any time that there is one particular food or food group that you feel like you're CONSTANTLY craving. When Seth and I were still ...

Crunchy Sesame Kale Salad [21 Day Fix]

March 31, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Yeeeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh kale. Kale is one of ma faves. Well, when it is made right. Kale has the potential to be the most delicious green ever or the most disgusting green ever depending on how you prepare it. Eating raw kale is a leeeeettle bit trickier since it can tend to be pretty tough and fibrous (more on that later [on how to avoid that toughness (how far can I inception this parenthetical ...

Pan Seared Scallops with Pistachio Pesto [21 Day Fix]

March 28, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Why have I been craving pistachios lately? Doesn't that seem super random to you? I'm not sure I've ever craved pistachios before...I'm sure someone out there would read this and tell me it's because my body is really craving fiber or protein or something like that. But...regardless of the reason...I was craving pistachios last week like nobody's business and wanted to make some kind of recipe ...

Oh, hello there little bowl of deliciousness. You make me so happy with your perfectly seasoned, browned turkey and veggies; hearty brown rice; and melt-y, gooey cheese ?. I am telling you right now, the 21 Day Fix does NOT restrict you from eating delicious, interesting, flavorful food.

20 Minute Lemon Parmesan Pasta

January 23, 2016 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

On Monday I posted a "fifteen minute" recipe, and today I'm posting a "twenty minute" recipe...I guess I got a little carried away with my quick and easy meals this week! I'll tell you something, though. Neither of these meals taste like they took twenty minutes or less to make. You know what is an absolutely delicious trio of flavors? I'll tell you...lemon, parmesan, and garlic. Something about ...
