Perfect Guacamole

May 25, 2015 by Annie Chesson 32 Comments

Even my guacamole-hating husband loved this. So I'm just sayin'...it's pretty tasty. I actually grew up eating guacamole that uses the little seasoning packet as the only flavor base - just avocados and the guacamole packet. Mash and eat. I still don't mind eating guacamole that way...I don't discriminate. I love guac in all forms. However, I will say that it is no match for this scratch made ...

Caprese Salad Bites with Garlic Balsamic Reduction

Okay...once again I am SO far behind on this post. I am sorry! I hate not being consistent about posting and I never want people to wonder "where the heck did she go?" If you read my last post (on April 30th...whoops), you know how crazy this week has been for me! So far, since that last post, I drove to Atlanta, flew to Charlotte, flew to Denver, and flew back to Charlotte to help my mom ...

Pan Fried Dumplings with Soy Chili Peanut Sauce

February 6, 2015 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

So last night Seth and I were watching "New Girl" and we were on that episode in season three when Coach is trying to convince Nick to start working out. For the first five minutes of the episode, it shows Nick eating dumplings from a Chinese restaurant down the street, and Coach keeps asking him "Do you want to be a do-er or a dumplinger??". We were laying there watching this episode and craving ...

Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins with Greek Yogurt Ranch

December 3, 2014 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Before I start...I just want to say that THESE ARE THE BEST THINGS EVER. How have I never thought of this before?? It's so simple. Its seems so obvious...potato skins are an awesome game day food/snack, and so is buffalo chicken dip. But when you combine the two...soooo so good. This is probably my favorite recipe I have posted so far. Well...I don't know. That's a hard one. If it's not my ...
