Cocoa and Chili Crusted Steak with Jalapeno Chimichurri

March 12, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

So I'm sure you have seen lots of those meal delivery ads for Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, and other similar companies, right? They're all the rage right now, and I can fully see why - SUPER convenient. Seth and I tried one a few years ago for one week just for fun to see if the food was any good. It was a fun week, but we still prefer just coming up with our own dinners! In February, when I was in ...

Roasted Root Vegetable Soup with Fried Sage Leaves

March 9, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

I'm trying to make the best of the fact that it's still wintery here in Kansas. Whenever it gets to this time of year and spring is so close I can almost taste it, I start to LOSE MA MIND. I don't want to be a negative Nancy over here, but I freaking hate cold weather. Winter itself has some nice perks: Christmas, coziness, and cold weather food, but the cold weather itself makes me want to curl ...

Roasted Chicken and Veggie Bowls with Cashew Curry Sauce

March 5, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Holy cashew sauce, if you follow me on Instagram and have been keeping up with my stories documenting our Whole 30 journey, you have been overloaded with mass amounts of cashew curry sauce. It probably has you wondering...am I obsessed? Do I eat anything else other than the cashew curry sauce? Do I have some sort of problem that leads to me eating this sauce on everything for every meal? Answers: ...

Creamy Vegan Cashew Curry Sauce

March 2, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Hold the phone, I just died. THIS SAUCE GIVES ME ALL THE FEELS. It is... Impossibly creamy Rich Loaded with warm, spiced curry flavor Literally delicious on anything and everything your mind can fathom pouring it on Here's the thing - I enjoy dairy a lot. I like the richness that cream, milk, and cheese brings to a dish. So I was thinking that part of paleo and Whole 30 would be a ...

Fried Egg Turkey Burgers with Sweet Potato “Buns”

February 28, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Whole 30 day one is in the books, and we are makin' our way through day two right now! I think I'll have less of those Whole 30 symptoms that other people experience (like the "hangover" and super tired/pissy days at the beginning) because I was doing paleo for several weeks before this, so my body is used to this style of eating for the most part. I will say, however, that the fact that honey is ...

One Pot Smoky Lentil Stew

January 17, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Do you want to know what happened in Kansas today? They closed schools because of EXTREME COLD. Like...no snow...no ice...no dangerous driving conditions...just cold weather. The concern is that they don't want kids waiting outside for the buses when it's like negative ten degrees. So hopefully that gives you a nice frigid visual of the  weather outside right now. Growing up in North Carolina ...

Roasted Tomatillo Stewed Chickpeas

January 10, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Chickpeas are my new food obsession. They are like these tender and hearty morsels of yumminess, and they have way better flavor and texture than other beans - less mushy, more tasty! This recipe right here, friends, is THA best chickpea recipe I've ever had. Here's the situation we're talkin' about here - tomatillos, red onions, and garlic roast in the oven and are then pureed. Meanwhile, the ...

Kindly do me a favor and throw away - no, burn - every other soup recipe you've ever made and MAKE THIS AND ONLY THIS FOREVER. I'm fo reals. It's the only soup you'll ever need. We struck gold here, people. This soup is seriously one of the best things I've ever eaten, and it is ab-so-LUTELY going on my repeat list and, more importantly, my make-for-people-when-they-come-over-for-dinner list, and ...

15 Minute Peppermint Bark

December 13, 2017 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Hello, my name is Annie, and I am incompetent when it comes to baking. I rarely post desserts on here because I've been known to ruin a BOXED BROWNIE mix. Aka I can't bake. Hence why the first dessert I've posted on here in I don't know how long is literally melted chocolate that you spread onto a baking sheet...holllaaahhhhh - this is my kind of homemade dessert! And the cool thing is that ...

Vegetarian Bolognese Sauce

December 12, 2017 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

I'm bout to have some Italians chasing me down with pitchforks for using the oxymoron "Vegetarian Bolognese"...but wait! It's yummy. And it looks like a bolognese. And it feels like a bolognese. And it has a lot of the same ingredients...so, can we still be frands? I realize that I just created a vegetarian version of a super traditionally meat loaded sauce...kind of like saying "Vegetarian Fried ...
