Sheet Pan Roasted Salmon and Veggie Salad

April 1, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Everyone, meet the mother of all salads. Mother of all salads, meet everyone. This salad covers every base you could ever dream of a salad covering! We've got the rich meatiness from the salmon, the hearty, satisfying roasted veggies, the toasty crunch from the almonds, and the peppery bite from the arugula. It checks every textural block that a salad can possibly check, giving you THE perfect ...

Chicken Marinara Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Boats

March 20, 2019 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

The first time I ever had spaghetti squash was when Seth and I did Whole 30 last year. Since you aren't allowed to have any type of actual pasta, we were always making things like zoodles, sweet potato noodles, or spaghetti squash. I was skeptical the first time I tried to roast a spaghetti squash, but I loved it! It's such a yummy and satisfying meal. Does it taste like pasta? Nope. ...

Garlic Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes

March 8, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Can we just take a moment here? Look at that beautiful little tomato. Stuffed with garlic, drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and then roasted for an entire hour so it just condenses and becomes ultra soft, sweet, and loaded with roasted, caramelized flavor. What you're looking at here is tomato dreams, people. The peak of tomato perfection. What each ...

All-The-Award Winning Southwest Chicken Chili

October 26, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Alright people, this chili is a family legend, and my in-laws have gracefully granted me permission to share it on the blog. It started with my husband's second cousins, Led and Connie. This was their chili recipe initially, and they would make it for the kids at a camp they ran every year where they live in Colorado. It eventually got passed down to my mother and father-in-law, Rhonda and Ed, ...

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 ...

Instant Pot Garlic Butter Green Beans

August 29, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

These green beans literally have a constant presence in my fridge, you guys. You can almost always find a tupperware full of them ready to be devoured at any moment. The reason = my one year old will go. to. TOWN. on these babies! He literally shoves them in his mouth by the chubby fist full. They are probs his favorite vegetable, and because they are so easy and quick to make, it seems like we ...

Curry Chicken Salad

August 22, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Chicken salad can be preeetttyy iffy for me. Sometimes it can just be a pile of dry chicken coated in what seems to be straight mayo...hard pass. I don't love it when it's made with canned chicken, and I definitely don't love it if I can taste the mayo. If it's made with rotisserie chicken, that's better, but the best case scenario is this (πŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌ) right here, friends! This chicken salad has a ...

Creamy Chicken and Fresh Corn Casserole

August 20, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This casserole is summer and fall holding hands and skipping down the street together. It is THE perfect recipe for those of us who are still enjoying summer in all its warmth, sunny days, pool visits, and fresh, ripe veggies but are also cautiously excited to welcome fall into our homes with its comforting, "curl up on the couch with a blanket when you get back from pumpkin picking" feel. It ...

Hidden Veggie Marinara (great for kids!)

You may only enter this post if all children under the age of ten aren't in visual range of your computer screen. You must answer TWO secret questions to pass the mom test and prove that you are not, indeed, a small child. The questions follow: How many days has it been since you have showered? How many goldfish and/or other cracker crumbs are in the back seat of your car currently? If ...
