Crock Pot Spaghetti Sauce

October 17, 2016 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Spaghetti sauce is just one of those things that you have to make from scratch. I mean...I guess you don't HAVE to, but it's just so dang easy to do! It's not like making pizza dough from scratch, where you have to knead it for several minutes, let it rest, roll it out, etc...(though I do love making pizza dough ❤️??). With spaghetti sauce, you just throw a few ingredients together and let it ...

Easy Korean Flank Steak

Okay...let me just start by pointing out that I know I say what I'm about to say a lot: "This is the best thing ever." And I can truly tell you that I fully believe my descriptions every single time! I will never rave about a recipe that I'm actually not that crazy about. So...you have to believe me and try not to roll your eyes when I say that this is SERIOUSLY the best flank steak I have ever ...

The Most BOSS Salad of All Time

August 12, 2016 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

I mean...the title says it all. I sat here debating for a good ten minutes over whether or not I wanted to title this salad what it actually was (which we will talk about in a minute), or if I should give it a title that immediately alerts you that you are about to make and eat THE MOST BOSS SALAD EVER. Not even exaggerating. I've had a lot of salads, and I've made a lot of salads...this one ...

Roasted Garlic and Avocado Toast

June 17, 2016 by Annie Chesson 11 Comments

Stop what you are doing right now. STAAHHHPPPP. Go to the grocery store, pick up fifty heads of garlic, roast every single one of them, and bask in the perfection that ensues. Do it. Because just one head of roasted garlic will never be enough. I could quite literally eat an entire head of roasted garlic plain, just completely plain and on its own, and be super content with life. Super stressful ...

Skinny Chicken Alfredo

June 8, 2016 by Annie Chesson 14 Comments

Wait. What just happened. This Skinny Chicken Alfredo just took the place of anything and everything I have ever loved in this world because it is that good. Like...fo reals. This pasta is my love language. If you want to make me happy, make me this pasta. Or make this pasta for someone else so they can become as obsessed as me. It will be like the "Pay it Forward" of Alfredo. I mean...I think ...

Sausage, Vegetable, and Barley Stew

May 18, 2016 by Annie Chesson 13 Comments

You know last week when I said it was hot in Kansas? Fail. It got chilly again. Why, why, whhaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy ????! Bright side: chilly weather = cozy food. Like this delicious stew! This stew is super flavorful, comforting, hearty, and deee-licious. Have you ever cooked with barley before? If you haven't, you really, really need to try it. It is SO good in stews like this. I'm not sure how to ...

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 ...

Crunchy Sesame Kale Salad [21 Day Fix]

March 31, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Yeeeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh kale. Kale is one of ma faves. Well, when it is made right. Kale has the potential to be the most delicious green ever or the most disgusting green ever depending on how you prepare it. Eating raw kale is a leeeeettle bit trickier since it can tend to be pretty tough and fibrous (more on that later [on how to avoid that toughness (how far can I inception this parenthetical ...
