September Chats

September 30, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Excuse me, but how am I already doing this again? I feel like I JUST wrote August Chats like 4 minutes ago, and here we are at the end of September. Confused, please explain ASAP. This has actually been a BIG month for us - hence my lack of presence on the blog...whoops, my plan to plan ahead did not go as planned. Nahmean? Hopefully I can get back on track with that...starting with this post. ...

Overnight Crock-Pot Pumpkin Apple Butter

October 10, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

If you are from an area of the country/world that doesn't have apple butter, and you've never heard of it/don't know what it is, allow me to please explain to you the beauty of this delicious item. Apple butter. There's actually no butter, but "butter" is in the title because of the smooth, velvety spreadability of the final, pureed, slow cooked apple product. It's like jam in the way that you ...

Maple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Cups

October 9, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

When you are a parent, the more super quick and easy shortcuts you can take with various things throughout the day are KEY.  I am a big fan of these shortcuts when it comes to breakfast. My son loves breakfast - it's the best he eats all day - baaasically an adult portion of food. What I usually do is make him a protein pancake (Kodiak Cakes FTW) and a smoothie. He loves the pancake, it's not ...

Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate

October 4, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

First instruction that is absolutely mandatory in order for us to continue with this conversation: go to your kitchen pantry, grab all those little Swiss Miss instant hot chocolate packets, and throw them away or put them in a box to donate. STAT. GO DO IT. Okay, now that that's all worked out, say hello to this delicious homemade hot chocolate that is baaaaaasically just as easy as throwing ...

Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread

September 28, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This is what we call doing a swan dive into fall with a swimsuit made out of leaves, goggles crafted from pine cones, and a swim cap made from a pumpkin. Summer is officially over, and I am MORE than happy to warmly welcome my all time favorite season! Come on in, fall! Please, stay as long as you'd like. Preferably through winter - we can just skip all that freezing coldness this year right? I'm ...

Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin with Apple Cider Sauce

October 16, 2017 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

It's the middle of October, the leaves are starting to darken into oranges, yellows, and reds, the weather is cooling down a bit, and it even smells like fall outside. Do you know what I mean when I say that fall has a smell? I feel like every season has a different smell. Fall smells crisp and fresh and kind of like rain. Which most likely either makes you think I'm cray cray ooorrrr you know ...

Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus

October 6, 2017 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Welp, I basically just had the best day of my life. Why am I posting this at 9:30 pm? Because I was busy having the best day of my life. Allow me to elaborate. Let us travel back to Tuesday morning. My doorbell rang, and there was a lady delivering flowers to me for my birthday. I take them from said lovely flower lady, go inside, and read the note. They are from my husband, and the note says for ...

Skinny Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse

September 29, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

It's the first pumpkin recipe of the season!!! Ah, fall food makes me so happy. Pumpkin, caramel apple, cinnamon, nutmeg - doesn't it all just make you feel warm and fuzzy inside? What is it about fall that makes you feel that way? It's like a feeling of nostalgia, but I don't even remember doing anything particularly special during fall while growing up. Who knows - it's a mystery. But one that I ...

Ciabatta and Pork Sausage Stuffing

November 14, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Stuffing? Dressing? I know that technically this would be called "dressing" because it's baked separately from the turkey, but it feels wrong for me to call it that. We have always called it stuffing, and dressing is the liquidy stuff that you put on da lettuces. And that's that! Just kidding...you can call it whatever you want. Just let it be known that I do accept the fact that the correct term ...
