Instant Pot Garlic Butter Green Beans

August 29, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

These green beans literally have a constant presence in my fridge, you guys. You can almost always find a tupperware full of them ready to be devoured at any moment. The reason = my one year old will go. to. TOWN. on these babies! He literally shoves them in his mouth by the chubby fist full. They are probs his favorite vegetable, and because they are so easy and quick to make, it seems like we ...

Blackened Chicken with Avocado Cream

May 2, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I think the world would be a better place if we could eat some type of delicious sauce on everything. Are you with me on this? Sauces make everything SO YUMMY. Whether it be a chipotle sauce on your sandwich, a cheese sauce on your burrito, a bearnaise sauce on your steak (we just went so fancy [except I had to google how to spell bearnaise, so I think that disqualifies my fanciness there]), or an ...

Curry White Bean Dip

November 10, 2017 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Are you ready for quite possibly the easiest little appetizer/party food/snack ever? This white bean dip takes TOPS five minutes to make. Everything just gets dumped into a food processor and whirled around to smooth, mouthwatering perfection. SO easy it’s not even fair! What will you use your extra not-prepping-complicated-appetizers-and-snacks time doing? Sitting down with a cup of coffee? ...

Pizza officially just got super easy. I'm talkin' store bought naan, store bought pesto, some cheese, sliced tomato, basil, bam. You done. And it just so happens to taste as delicious as those homemade, more complicated, and time consuming pizzas. Listen, I'm all bout dat homemade pizza.

Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowls

October 11, 2017 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Sometimes, efficiency is just crucial in life, you know? Work might be crazy, you might have a bunch of kids running around the house, you might have a million little to-do list items ticking through your head. On those days/in those situations, you really need easy, efficient, quick, and yummy (because yumminess is key) dinners. Let's take this morning for example. I was multitasking as ...

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 πŸ‘…πŸ‘…πŸ‘…. The creation of this recipe is something I have toiled over for quite some time. I ...

The Trick to THE Juiciest Chicken Breasts

June 19, 2017 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Chicken breasts are so blah. I am just not a huge fan...they almost always turn out dry and boring. I don't mind using chicken in things, but I almost never ever just sear up a chicken breast for dinner. So this recipe didn't come about from me experimenting - the creds for these babies go to my husband, Seth. We got hungry SUPER late at night this past weekend (because we had had popcorn a few ...

25 Minute Tortellini and Veggie Saute

June 16, 2017 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Anyone who comes up with recipes (like a food blogger!) finds random inspiration from various things. Something you eat at a restaurant, something you see on the Food Network, Pinterest (πŸ™ŒπŸ»), a dish a friend or family member cooks for you, or other completely random things. This dish has a strange inspiration. A Lean Cuisine...fancy right? I got several frozen meals at the grocery store ...

Creamy One Pot Spring Vegetable Fettuccine

April 19, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Remember when I discovered one pot pasta (I know...way late to the game), became obsessed, and said I was going to experiment with a billion different one pot pasta recipes? Hiiiii. This is that. And this is wonderful. I, once again, am very much in love with one pot pasta. It's just so easy! I know all the legit Italians out there are rolling their eyes so hard at me, and the Italian ...

Fifteen Quick and Simple 30 Minute Meals

April 13, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Even those of us that love, love, looooove cooking are fans of 30 minute meals. Meals that are that quick and easy but still pack so much flavor and yumminess are just so much fun to make. Not to mention, MUCH needed on crazy weeknights when you've either been dealing with a pack of crazy kids all day, dealing with a crazy day at work...or both...yikes. So, this roundup is for you, busy ...
