Loaded Veggie Cream Cheese

August 28, 2015 by Annie Chesson 16 Comments

Yeeeeahhhh I kind of love this stuff. It has so much flavor going on! It takes regular cream cheese, slaps it in the face, and says, "Hey. Get out of here. You pale in comparison to my greatness." I don't know about you, but I think a lightly toasted bagel with cream cheese is one of the best things ever. We almost never eat them because when we go grocery shopping we try to only buy healthy ...

Veggie Power Bowls with Creamy Pesto Sauce

August 17, 2015 by Annie Chesson 20 Comments

This is such a yummy, flavorful, and HEALTHY meal! The pesto is really the key here, guys. It is a very non traditional pesto - so put away your basil and pine nuts and whip out your spinach, arugula, and almonds! Proceed to whiz together and pour embarrassing amounts on every type of food in your refrigerator. This dish is packed with so much protein and healthy ingredients that it almost ...

White Bean Soup with Bacon and Chives

August 5, 2015 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Okay, okay, okay I know. Soup. Hot soup. In August. In my defense, my original intention for this recipe was a "Chilled White Bean Soup," but I liked it so much better hot! I am one of those weird people who eats soup all year round even when its 105 degrees outside. I definitely prefer fall and winter food to summer food. Summer food is good too (who am I kidding...I love it all), but I find ...

Thai Meatball Lettuce Wraps

July 20, 2015 by Annie Chesson 79 Comments

I have a new obsession. And that obsession is Thai food. It all started a few months ago when Seth and I ran in the Spartan Race that I talked a little bit about here, and afterwards went out to eat with his family at a Thai restaurant in Charlotte called Basil. So before eating at this delicious restaurant, I was under the impression that I hated curry with a burning passion. Which still isn't ...

Spicy Chipotle Chickpea Burrito Bowls

July 17, 2015 by Annie Chesson 46 Comments

If I had unlimited money and could eat 10,000 calories a day without gaining a pound, I would literally eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day at Chipotle or Qdoba. Let me describe my obsession to you with one story (I might have told this before....ALL MY STORIES ARE STARTING TO RUN TOGETHER). I'm going to preface for two seconds...literally every time we went out to eat in Georgia, ...

Crispy Garlic Smashed Potatoes

July 15, 2015 by Annie Chesson 28 Comments

Ah, crispy, garlic-y, salty, potato-y goodness. Can I just eat you every day for the rest of my life? Seriously though...who in the world doesn't love potatoes? (Now I am talking to you...not the food.) I have never met someone who doesn't...even if you aren't a "meat and potatoes" kind of person, I feel like you still love them. And if you are saying no to this question you fall into one of ...

Huevos Rancheros with Grilled Salsa Verde

July 9, 2015 by Annie Chesson 33 Comments

Soooo...the vet. I talked here about how we had a vet appointment for Boone a few days ago, and we had to put him on a heavy sedative so he wouldn't freak out when we got there (like he always does). Before we went got the the vet he was completely out - super super super tired. Like to the point where he could barely get up on the couch. But right when we got there he fully woke up again and ...

What? Oh...hello. Sorry. I was busy stuffing my face with this salsa. This tangy, bright, spicy, perfect Salsa Verde. Which is made up of deliciously grilled vegetables that are pulsed together in a food processor. SO EASY! And sooooooooooooo good. Hello there fresh vegetables. You are about to be charred and blended into the most heavenly bowl of food in my refrigerator. Or America. Or the ...
