Scallops over Curried Carrot Puree

August 6, 2019 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

I need to preface this with the fact that everyone I fed this to said it was either their favorite or one of their favorite things I've ever made. Including this little tidbit not to humble brag, but to explain the NECESSITY of this meal being produced in your own kitchen tonight (tomorrow at the absolute latest)!!! Because, let me just tell you, it - is - heaven. If I'm being totally ...

Spicy Curried Carrot Soup

May 31, 2017 by Annie Chesson 11 Comments

This soup makes me happy. The flavor makes me happy. The color makes me happy. The texture makes me happy. And making it makes me happy. It's not super often that you find really unique and different soups. For the most part, they are pretty standard and include a lot of the same ingredients. So this soup is a breath of fresh air for the world of soup-lovers (....me) out there! This carrot soup ...

Banh Mi Tacos [21 Day Fix]

March 5, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Mmm. Tacos. Banh Mi tacos. I have discussed my love for Banh Mi before (yes, the plural of Banh Mi is "Banh Mi" - Google teaches me things) when I made this sandwich several months ago. Aaaaand this love is still going strong today. Some may even call it true love. Banh Mi just have the most scrumptious combination of flavors. The pork (slash other meat you choose to use), the pickled carrots and ...

“One Sheet” Brown Sugar, Dijon Chicken

October 16, 2015 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

You know how one pot meals are basically the best things EVER? This is exactly like a one pot meal, but it's a one sheet meal instead! You throw everything onto one baking sheet, bake for thirty to forty minutes, and dig in! SO easy. The best part about this recipe, however, isn't the simplicity. The best part is the flavor that comes from the brown sugar and Dijon mustard. Oh....my goodness. ...

The Best Chicken and Rice Soup

April 13, 2015 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

This really is the best Chicken and Rice Soup Ever! At least out of all the ones I've ever tried. What makes it so over-the-top-amazing? Two things in particular. 1. Rather than buying chicken stock, we just cook a whole chicken in water and that becomes the broth. We need cooked chicken anyway for the soup, why waste the flavorful water that the chicken simmers in?? So it has a super, SUPER ...

Crock Pot Pepper Beef Stew

February 21, 2015 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

It has been absolutely FREEZING in Georgia this week! Well, freezing compared to the sixty degree winter we've had so far this year. I've been spoiled...spoiled bad. Next winter we will be in Kansas, and I'm pretty sure it will be nowhere near sixty degrees in February...so I'm trying to enjoy it while I can! This stew was the perfect meal to counteract the bitterly cold weather we have been ...

Chicken and Leek Pot Pie with Black Pepper Crust

January 31, 2015 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Is there anything more comforting than chicken pot pie? I grew up eating this meal all the time so in my mind it's just pure, nostalgic, comfort food. So this version is a little different than the one I grew up eating...it is lightened up a bit, only has one crust, and includes a leek, shallot, and a few cloves of garlic to give the filling an even more delicious flavor. This pie made me so ...
