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
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.

30 Minute One Pot Barbecue Chicken Quinoa Skillet
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
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 ...

Pan Seared Scallops with Pistachio Pesto [21 Day Fix]
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 ...

20 Minute Lemon Parmesan Pasta
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 ...
