Chimichurri Chicken

December 10, 2019 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

This Chimichurri Chicken is a wonderful, super easy weeknight dinner that comes together in less than thirty minutes and tastes fresh, healthy, and SO delicious!! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Say hello to your brand new weeknight favorite, friends and family! This chicken is a super sneaky weeknight meal because it's one that doesn't taste like it took half an hour to make! Not. At. All. The chicken is juicy and moist (not to mention super flavorful from the blackening seasoning), and the chimichurri is crazy flavorful and impossibly fresh. They are a match made in heaven! The ...

Caramelized Butternut Squash with Pecans - This cubed butternut squash is cooked until deeply golden brown and then pecans, garlic, and herbs are thrown in for the last few minutes until aromatic and flavorful! SO good - its the best butternut squash! TheGarlicDiaries.com

This. Butternut. Squash. Is. NEXT LEVEL, you guys. Butternut squash is usually the star in soups, you don't see it quite as often served on its own as a side. But, man oh man oh man, this caramelized butternut squash is to die for! The sweetness of the veggie itself is deepened by the caramelization, but then we've got pecans, lots of garlic, sage, and thyme thrown in for the last few minutes - ...

Chopped Cauliflower Salad - Tender roasted cauliflower diced up and tossed with celery, almonds, and fennel and drizzled with a delicious lemon vinaigrette! Such a hearty and delicious salad that’s perfect for fall! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Clean Eating Pumpkin Muffins! Made with oat flour and zero refined sugar, these fall goodies will make your fall extra warm and cozy! TheGarlicDiaries.com

This is probably the most excited I've been in a while to share a recipe with you guys. This is my second fall season of trying to perfect this pumpkin muffin recipe.

I tried multiple gluten free flour options before ...

Grilled Veggie Tacos with Cilantro Lime Yogurt

June 12, 2019 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

Okay so here’s the thing, I am not vegetarian. I eat meat a decent amount. And I also love tacos. Now that we have all that covered, these are MY FAVORITE tacos ever. And, like I said, I love tacos. Love. These take the cake, fam - no meat and all! The lightly charred tortillas. The simple avocado mash at the base. The medley of perfectly grilled veggies that have the delicious smokey, charred ...

Avocado Chimichurri

June 4, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I mean, on a scale of one to ten, how acceptable is it to slather avocado chimichurri all over your body like lotion? A hard six? I'll take it. This chimichurri is THE actual best. We have had it twice on grilled flank steak and once on roasted potatoes, and all times it was life giving. Like...I-want-to-eat-this-straight-from-the-bowl-with-a-spoon level of life giving. It's not only THE ...

Thick and Creamy Cauliflower Mash

May 13, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Cauliflower mash has never been my favorite. It's always been a little bit thin, and I could never get it really unctuous and thick and creamy like I wanted. But I have been on a cauliflower mash mission to make a puree that wouldn't make me sad about the lack of potatoes! After trying a few different tricks, I discovered a cauliflower mash that is CRAZY thick, CRAZY creamy, and SUPER velvety ...

Caprese Stuffed Avocado Cups with Balsamic Reduction (Keto)

April 19, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Well this is literally my obsession above all else. I eat it for lunch at least half the days of the week, and when I'm not eating it, I'm missing it. It is creamy and rich from the avocado, cheesy, smooth, and delicious from the fresh mozzarella cheese, bright and acidic from the tomatoes + the vinaigrette, and slightly sweet from the balsamic reduction. It hits every taste bud in your WHOLE ...

Crispy Instant Pot Pork Belly (Keto, Paleo, Whole 30)

April 15, 2019 by Annie Chesson 39 Comments

Um, excuse me - hello, beautiful. You are perfection in every sense of the word. You are absurdly crispy on top, fall-apart moist and juicy in the middle, and full of delicious, fatty goodness. I AM IN LOVE. I have only every eaten pork belly in super fancy restaurant situations, so I figured it would be crazy expensive to buy at the store. But for two big chunks of pork belly - two and a ...

Turkey and Black Bean Bell Pepper “Nachos”

April 5, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Picture this: you are craving nachos (because who doesn't on the daily?), but you don't necessarily want to load up on a bunch of fried tortilla chips and make yourself feel less than awesome for the rest of the evening. So instead, you cook up a delicious nacho filling with ground turkey, black beans, and taco seasoning. And then you take that heavenly mixture and load it into some lightly ...
