Instant Pot Mexican Chicken Stew

August 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Soo...on a scale of one to ten, how mad are you about me posting a stew recipe in the 100 degree August heat? I know this is a sin in some of your homes. Spring and summer are the months where your soup pots get put away, you put your right hand on the Bible, and you solemnly swear not to eat any comfort food until September at the earliest. If that's you, can we still be friends? Can you pop ...

Coconut Mango Rice

August 10, 2018 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

I love rice. It is so soft and tender and delicious, not to mention the perfect base for so many yummy things. I especially love rice when it is loaded UP with creaminess and flavor like πŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌπŸ‘†πŸΌ. This rice is cooked in coconut milk and then fresh, pureed mango is stirred in at the end, leaving you with a rich, creamy, slightly sweet, bright, fresh, and flavor bomb pot of rice. Seth kept saying ...

Meal Prep Quinoa and Black Bean Burrito Bowls

Let me just paint a quick picture for you here, friends. It's a busy week day, whether you are at home or at work, and before you know it, your stomach is grumbling, you look at the clock, and it's already lunch time. You scan your mind for what you have in your fridge/what you brought to work for lunch, and - ding! - you remember that you did an awesome, wonderful thing for yourself and meal ...

Juicy Instant Pot Mexican Chicken

August 1, 2018 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Instant Pot meat and Crock Pot meat have never been my faves unless they are in a sauce. I've never had success with just doing straight up meat before, like these chicken breasts. But I was determined to find a way to do it successfully in the Instant Pot so that I could create a recipe for juicy chicken that could be used as a base in meals for the whole week! And we figured it out peeps. ...

Buttery, Cheesy Instant Pot Smashed Potatoes

Hello, beautiful. Look at all that cheese and butter smashed into those tender potatoes - it is intense and passionate love at first sight 😍. Come into my life and never leave me, buttery, cheesy Instant Pot smashed potatoes! But for real...PLEASE. These are not your average mashed potatoes.

Instant Pot Italian Beef

June 25, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

You guys. I have made tons of Instant Pot recipes since I got it as a Christmas gift this past year, but - let me tell you - this is by far the easiest. It literally requires no work...unless you call searing a piece of meat in the Instant Pot and then dumping two jars of Italian goodness on top "work," becaauussee I don't. It's a zero effort prep...craziness. The jar of pepperoncinis and ...

THE Ultimate Artichokes (Instant Pot + Grilled)

June 5, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Oh...my goodness. I have peaked. It is impossible that it will ever get any better than this, so I might as well just quit blogging. It was nice meeting you and knowing you for 3+ years, byeeeee. Just kidding...but seriously...these are legitimately one of the most delicious things I've ever made or eaten. I was having a bit of an emotional experience while stuffing mass amounts of artichoke ...

Lemon Garlic Roasted Potatoes

May 23, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

We're gettin' real in here today with these roasted potatoes. If you think roasted potatoes belong in a colder, more wintery season, just HOLD THE PHONE. The lemon garlic sauce that these potatoes are tossed in before and after roasting + the fresh dill sprinkled over the potatoes at the end request you to rethink your position on non-summer roasted potatoes. Here's the deal with spring/summer ...

Watermelon Salsa

May 21, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

One million percent inspiration for this recipe goes to my bestie, Megan. I have two AMAZING best friends that I've known since I could barely read (aka forever), and to this day they are still two of my favorite people in the entire world. More family than friends at this point. Anyway, they both live in North Carolina, so we try and visit each other whenever we can. Recently, I went there and we ...
