2 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls

April 26, 2021 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

2 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls - These healthy treats are SO easy to make, only require 2 ingredients, and satiate that sweet tooth in the best way.

When we did our first round of Whole 30 years ago, I found out I was pregnant about half way through, and from the second I become pregnant to the second my babies are born, I crave sweets like NOBODY'S BUSINESS. But on Whole 30 you can't have sweets. We were at the grocery store one week, and I found these things called date rolls - only ingredients were unsweetened coconut and dates, which ...

Date Night Creamy Roasted Vegetable Risotto

November 12, 2020 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Date Night Creamy Roasted Vegetable Risotto - The risotto is creamy and loaded with flavor, there’s a tender, roasted vegetable in every bite, and the combination of everything is a date night dream. Bonus - it’s dairy free! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Date-night-ins are wonderful for a few reasons: If you have kids, getting a babysitter can be expensive and a little complicated. I know that for us - especially now that we hvae 3 kids, one of which is still super young - we don't leave a babysitter to handle bedtime on her own. Less because we are worried about the kids being okay and more because I don't really want to strap a solo ...

Whole 30 Beefy Potato Soup - This simple, delicious soup is comforting, hearty, and so deeply flavorful! It’ll warm you up on any chilly day. TheGarlicDiaries.com

Liiightly sad as I write this because my three year old was sitting on my lap while I was working at my desk, and it was a sweet little moment. Then my (almost) two year old wanted a turn, so he was sitting with me and it was equally adorable. Then both of them left me, leaving me with the parting gift of a certain substance on my sweater. I'll leave the details to your imagination because this is ...

Banh Mi Turkey Burgers! Seriously the best turkey burger you will ever eat. So many different and delicious flavors and textures happening! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Y'all - these are legit THE best turkey burgers. Turkey burgers (and sometimes burgers in general!) can be a little blah or boring. I love adding fun variety to burgers - there is SO much you can do with them! But this is probably my favorite version I've had to date. If you've never had a Banh Mi, they are often characterized by pickled carrot (and usually radish too), jalapeno, cilantro, ...
