Absolute Easiest No-Fuss Lasagna

October 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

One of my favorite things in the world to do is make my totally from scratch lasagna. I mean like SUPER from scratch: homemade pasta, homemade sauce - we even home make the ricotta (actually super easy). I make it when there's a really special occasion or when I'm feeling like spending an afternoon in the kitchen cooking something super labor intensive, because that can be calming and therapeutic ...

Creamy Chicken and Fresh Corn Casserole

August 20, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This casserole is summer and fall holding hands and skipping down the street together. It is THE perfect recipe for those of us who are still enjoying summer in all its warmth, sunny days, pool visits, and fresh, ripe veggies but are also cautiously excited to welcome fall into our homes with its comforting, "curl up on the couch with a blanket when you get back from pumpkin picking" feel. It ...

Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rollups

March 13, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

These are so fun. They are fun to make, fun to roll up, and extra fun to eat! Your servings come out in these little perfectly portioned cheesy, creamy, meaty packages - I love it! Officially a rollup fan fo-eva. Goodbye traditional lasagna. It was fun knowing you, but I am a way bigger fan of your rolled up counterpart. Life is short, make lasagna fun and roll it up, yo. In my mind, these were ...

Cheesy Mexican Rice Casserole

January 11, 2016 by Annie Chesson 24 Comments

Hello, strangers! It has been quite a while since I've been able to make my way over to this little corner of the internet. Between holidays, SO MUCH TRAVEL, and less than satisfactory weather in Kansas (meaning dark and stormy every day) ((meaning photography = no no)), I have definitely had some issues bringing you three posts a week. But we had sunny weather this past weekend, and I was able ...

THE Best Mac and Cheese Ever

November 22, 2014 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

This is THE BEST Mac and Cheese EVER. It is so good. It has everything that Mac and Cheese should have: perfectly cooked macaroni, cheesy creamy sauce, a crispy top, everything. My husband had like 5 bowls of it. We finished an entire 9x13 pan. Make this Mac and Cheese as a side dish for Thanksgiving this year. Everyone will love it. This is our second Thanksgiving side dish recipe this week, ...

Light Turkey Chili Mac and Cheese

October 20, 2014 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

This recipe does NOT taste healthy. It tastes like a big plate of chili cheese fries. Surprisingly, I would definitely consider this a light meal. It uses whole wheat pasta, 2% milk, ground turkey, and reduced fat cheese. It's not exactly a salad, but it definitely doesn't break your calorie bank. Its about 480 calories for each very sizable serving. These are my favorite meals to make. I love ...
