Peanut Lime Shrimp Curry

April 23, 2020 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Peanut Lime Shrimp Curry - This curry is NEXT LEVEL, you guys. The shrimp is tender, and the sauce is smooth, flavorful, bright, and slightly sweet - it’s too good for words! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Curry and sushi are my two favorite foods - I am mentioning both instead of just curry because I can't, no matter how hard I try, pick between them. THEY ARE BOTH TOO GOOD DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE. But speaking of curry in particular, the beautiful curry that you see above is a little non traditional. We throw a bunch of extra goodies in there to make it a little lime-y, slightly sweet, peanut-y, and ...

Pear, Blue Cheese, and Black Pepper Honey Pizzas

February 20, 2020 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Pear, Blue Cheese, and Honey Pizzas - these babies take ZERO time to throw together, and it tastes like you are eating at a 5 star restaurant! TheGarlicDiaries.com

These pizzas are insane. Mainly thanks to the combination of two things: one - they are SO easy to make and take SO little time to prep, and two - the flavors happening here are so complex and deep. We have a lot of different things happening, and they all work together to form THE most delicious bite! It's the perfect weeknight meal, it's meatless if you're trying to get your budget down or ...

Parmesan and Almond Crusted Chicken Tenders (keto)

April 29, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Ummmm quick question. Did you know that when you crust chicken in parmesan cheese and then pan fry it, it becomes the most delicious bite of food ever eaten? Me either. But now I'm educated on that very important and delicious topic. And thanks to my new education, I am able to enjoy chicken tenders in a whoooooole new way that I greatly appreciate. It's like your childhood ...

Super Simple Goulash

February 6, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This dish is as fun to eat as it is to say...goulash. Gouuuulash. It's just a fun word, am I wrong?! Just say it a few times and you'll be on board. The best way to describe this meal is just humble, simple, and good. There are no bells and whistles, no fancy ingredients, not a lot of prep, not a super long cook time - it's just homey and cozy and simple! And I love that about this meal. ...

Coconut Curry Ramen Revamp

January 23, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

One of my hubby and I's favorite things to do is upgrade those little 99 cent ramen packs you get at the store (aka that sustained you throughout your college years) into something a little fancier and more extra. Usually we just add some veggies and maybe a little garlic and ginger + a shot of soy sauce, but sometimes we will go real fancy and really throw some extra goodies in there. Eating ...

Beef Stroganoff

October 1, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Can I just start by saying that this is like THE definition of comfort food? Noodles smothered in a creamy, flavorful sauce loaded up with tender ground beef, mushrooms, onion, and garlic. It's just GOOD - that's the best way to describe it. Just straight up good food. Beef stroganoff is one of those cafeteria slash frozen food classics that you always seem to see. I'm talking the overcooked ...

Instant Pot Beef Ragu

August 8, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Oh my gaasshhhhh, Instant Pot, you are just TOO DANG good to be true. A tough cut of meat that would normally take hours to become tender and juicy in the oven takes literally thirty minutes in the Instant Pot, it becomes fall apart tender, and it cooks into the sauce, leaving you with the most thick, unctuous, richly flavored ragu that you've ever encountered in YO LIFE. I'm telling you guys, ...

Pork in Garlic Sauce

October 2, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Pork in Garlic Sauce is one of my all time favorite take out dishes. It's probs between this and lo mein for the top slot- it's hard to beat a good lo mein! But if I'm not ordering lo mein, you best believe there will be a steaming hot container of Pork in Garlic Sauce knocking on my door in 20-30 minutes πŸ‘…πŸ‘…πŸ‘…. The creation of this recipe is something I have toiled over for quite some time. I ...

The Trick to THE Juiciest Chicken Breasts

June 19, 2017 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Chicken breasts are so blah. I am just not a huge fan...they almost always turn out dry and boring. I don't mind using chicken in things, but I almost never ever just sear up a chicken breast for dinner. So this recipe didn't come about from me experimenting - the creds for these babies go to my husband, Seth. We got hungry SUPER late at night this past weekend (because we had had popcorn a few ...
