Dijon Crusted Salmon with Simple Arugula Salad [21 Day Fix]

February 24, 2016 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Seafood twice in one week?? That's a lot for a blog that has included seafood a grand total of like three times (total estimate) over the last few years. I am making an effort to cook it more. Variety is the spice of life, right? You know what else is the spice of life? Everything that goes on top of this salmon. Dijon mustard, lemon juice, seasoned breadcrumbs. Seasoned with what, you may ask? ...

30 Minute Brown Butter Sage Gnocchi with Spinach and Pine Nuts

February 16, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Gnocchi...Gnocchi, gnocchi, gnocchi. You are so tender and potato-y and delicious. Have you ever had gnocchi before? If you haven't, YOU ARE MISSING OUT, PEOPLE! They are iiiiitttyyy bitty, tiny, cute, adorable little potato dumplings...they sound kind of weird, but they are soft and pillowy and taste like a mix between pasta and a dumpling. That might be a horrible description, but we're goin' ...

Cashew Chicken

January 27, 2016 by Annie Chesson 40 Comments

Cashew chicken...one of MA FAVES when it comes to Chinese take-out. I love the different textures from the chicken, veggies, water chestnuts, and cashews. But the BEST part, in my opinion, is when the sauce kind of soaks into the cashews, softening them and loading them with delicious, saucy, flavor. You could say I am quite the expert on Chinese take-out. It is a go-to for Seth and I on lazy ...

Simple Kale Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

January 13, 2016 by Annie Chesson 63 Comments

My best friend's dad is seriously one of the best cooks I have ever met in my life. Megan and I grew up together, and I remember when I would go to her house for dinner, I would always be totally obsessed with anything her dad made. Baaaasically what I'm saying is that he rocks. Anyway, I went to visit Megan and my other best friend in North Carolina for New Years Eve this year, and I stayed at ...

Brown Sugar Peppered Bacon

April 24, 2015 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Bacon! I love bacon. I think everyone loves bacon. It's delicious and crispy and salty and perfect. But thiiiis bacon takes regular bacon and slaps it in the face. The combination of salty and sweet is one of those classic things that everyone loves - it's the perfect pairing of flavor. It's why the world is obsessed with salted caramel right now - salty and sweet, people! Salty. And. ...

Orange, Fennel, and Walnut Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette

January 7, 2015 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Up until I was around 16 or 17 I hated salads. The only time I would ever eat one is if it was made up of iceberg lettuce and pools of ranch. The most adventurous I got with the vegetables was carrots and cucumbers. So because of that, I still struggle with creating really delicious and interesting salads because I didn't start experimenting until I was older...but this one is awesome! It's ...
