Cashew Chicken

January 27, 2016 by Annie Chesson 42 Comments

Cashew chicken...one of MA FAVES when it comes to Chinese take-out. I love the different textures from the chicken, veggies, water chestnuts, and cashews.

Simple Kale Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

January 13, 2016 by Annie Chesson 65 Comments

My best friend's dad is seriously one of the best cooks I have ever met in my life. Megan and I grew up together, and I remember when I would go to her house for dinner, I would always be totally obsessed with anything her dad made. Baaaasically what I'm saying is that he rocks. Anyway, I went to visit Megan and my other best friend in North Carolina for New Years Eve this year, and I stayed at ...

Creamy Crock-Pot Salsa Verde Chicken

September 16, 2015 by Annie Chesson 23 Comments

I love recipes like this. Recipes that are so easy the shouldn't even be called "recipes." And thiiiiiiiiiiiis is that. Supa' easy. To be precise...easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.

The difficulty level goes up a leeeeettle bit if you use homemade Salsa ...
