Orange Chicken

December 1, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Pizza and Chinese takeout = two of my lifetime staples. I mean, let's just talk about the wonderfulness of these two items real quick. Firstly, they are both delicious. Secondly, they can both be delivered to your door or picked up on your way home. Thirdly, they are both delicious. The deliciousness deserved two points. BUT - problem: both of these food items are super calorie/fat/carb loaded ...

The Easiest Roasted Butternut Squash

November 16, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This really is the easiest thing ever. I discovered its simplicity when I was roasting up my squash for this Butternut Mac and Cheese. I was going for the easiest and tiniest amount of prep possible since it was part of another recipe, but it ended up being SUUPPPAAA BOSS. I was close to just stopping and making it its own recipe right then and there, but I decided to wait and finish up the Mac ...

Pork Shoulder and Roasted Tomatillo Stew

November 1, 2017 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

And the new upcoming trendy food item of 2018 goes tooooooo...hominy! JK there's probs no way that's going to happen. I rarely see hominy used in recipes. In fact, this is only the second time that I've ever even cooked with it or tasted it. The first time was in college when I was following someone else's recipe, and it was a vegetarian chili verde. But now...oh man, the hominy bug has bit me ...

Eat them as a side, or pile a few on your plate for a whole meal. They are seriously delicious! This recipe was actually originally supposed to just be three cheese quinoa...just a bowl of cheesy quinoa. Which ...

Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin with Apple Cider Sauce

October 16, 2017 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

It's the middle of October, the leaves are starting to darken into oranges, yellows, and reds, the weather is cooling down a bit, and it even smells like fall outside. Do you know what I mean when I say that fall has a smell? I feel like every season has a different smell. Fall smells crisp and fresh and kind of like rain. Which most likely either makes you think I'm cray cray ooorrrr you know ...
