Easy One Pot Coconut Basil Chicken

February 1, 2021 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Easy, One Pot Coconut Basil Chicken - This SUPER EASY dinner is absolutely delicious over cauliflower rice or any grain. The delicious, aromatic sauce soaks into whatever you serve it over, and it is too good for words! TheGarlicDiaries.com

This eight ingredient dinner (not including whatever you serve it over) is not only incredibly easy to make, it is LOADED with flavor thanks to the garlic, shallot, ginger, lime zest, basil, and coconut milk. All of that goodness simmers together just until the chicken is cooked through, and it is pure heaven! Since we were just doing whole 30, I served this with cauliflower rice, but I've made ...

Super Simple Tomato Mozzarella Salad

May 18, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Welcome to the world of ridiculously easy salads that include 3 ingredients + a just-as-easy dressing, which also includes 3 ingredients. It takes less than 10 minutes to make, and it tastes like a summer explosion in your mouth if you want a truly accurate description. This salad was inspired by a lady in my FRG (family readiness group - a huge thing in the Army for wives and families [mainly ...

Herbed Mixed Berry Salad

March 7, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Do you guys find yourself craving healthy, fresh things like fruit and salad if you've had a few days of unhealthy eating? This happens to me biiiiiig time. If I've had some meals over the last few days that aren't exactly packed with nutrition (i.e. pizza...burgers...nah mean?), I end up having this deep desire for crunchy, fresh salads and bright, tangy fruit. That was me this weekend. On ...

Baked Gnocchi with Blistered Tomato Parmesan Sauce

December 7, 2016 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Wait...I just peaked. I might as well quit blogging now, because this is as delicious as food can possibly get. My career is oveerrrrrrr 😭😭😭. But for real...this baked gnocchi is my love language. Have you ever played the game Desert Island where you go around and say the three things you would bring if you were stranded on an island somewhere like ma' man Tom Hanks and his friend Wilson? ...

Perfect 30 Minute Red Curry

July 8, 2016 by Annie Chesson 20 Comments

Oh my gosh. Hold the phone. HOLD. THE. PHONE. This is quite possibly the best thing I have ever consumed in my entire life. Food, drink, anything. First of all...allow me to preface... Up until a few years ago, I had never tried Thai curry. I had tried Indian curry, and I wasn't a big fan of that, so I thought that meant that I wouldn't like any curry. Then I went to a Thai restaurant, someone ...

Herbed Pea and Orzo Salad

July 6, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Remember that time we made an amazing herb condiment packed with basil, cilantro, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil and then folded it into pasta? OH WAIT. That happened today ????. And holy delicious, it was a big bowl of wow-it's-hot-outside-so-let's-make-easy-food-with-bright-flavors-and-be-happy-forever. You pickin' up what I'm puttin' down? Good. So...those herbs. That ...

Pineapple, Basil, and Coconut Ice Pops

May 10, 2016 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Welp, it's officially hot outside in Kansas. And I am LOVING IT. Seriously, I hate being cold. I violently hate it. It just immediately frustrates me intensely when I am freezing. Hence, winter = no bueno. Except for snow and Christmas - I like those things. Cold weather just hurts, know what I mean? Yes, hot weather can be extremely uncomfortable, but it doesn't hurt like cold weather does! Cold ...

Perfect Bruschetta

August 24, 2015 by Annie Chesson 51 Comments

I am kind of obsessed with bruschetta. Aaaand by kind of obsessed I mean one hundred percent obsessed. Obviously. Which is really very strange because I don't like tomatoes. I don't despise them but I don't enjoy them. And what is bruschetta? Tomatoes. Ninety percent tomatoes. But for some reason when you add some garlic, salt, pepper, basil, and a touch of balsamic vinegar to the tomatoes they ...
