Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus

October 6, 2017 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Welp, I basically just had the best day of my life. Why am I posting this at 9:30 pm? Because I was busy having the best day of my life. Allow me to elaborate. Let us travel back to Tuesday morning. My doorbell rang, and there was a lady delivering flowers to me for my birthday. I take them from said lovely flower lady, go inside, and read the note. They are from my husband, and the note says for ...

Pork in Garlic Sauce

October 2, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Pork in Garlic Sauce is one of my all time favorite take out dishes. It's probs between this and lo mein for the top slot- it's hard to beat a good lo mein! But if I'm not ordering lo mein, you best believe there will be a steaming hot container of Pork in Garlic Sauce knocking on my door in 20-30 minutes 👅👅👅. The creation of this recipe is something I have toiled over for quite some time. I ...

Skinny Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse

September 29, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

It's the first pumpkin recipe of the season!!! Ah, fall food makes me so happy. Pumpkin, caramel apple, cinnamon, nutmeg - doesn't it all just make you feel warm and fuzzy inside? What is it about fall that makes you feel that way? It's like a feeling of nostalgia, but I don't even remember doing anything particularly special during fall while growing up. Who knows - it's a mystery. But one that I ...

Chipotle Chicken Chili

September 27, 2017 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Let's go to a chili crawl and eat allllllll tha chilis. Have you ever heard of a chili crawl? I hadn't heard of one until this past weekend when there was one going on in town. Basically all the restaurants in this one area all made chili, and you would go from restaurant to restaurant trying the different variations and voting for the best one. Doesn't that sound like fun?! In my wildest ...

The Trick to THE Juiciest Chicken Breasts

June 19, 2017 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Chicken breasts are so blah. I am just not a huge fan...they almost always turn out dry and boring. I don't mind using chicken in things, but I almost never ever just sear up a chicken breast for dinner. So this recipe didn't come about from me experimenting - the creds for these babies go to my husband, Seth. We got hungry SUPER late at night this past weekend (because we had had popcorn a few ...

Roasted Cauliflower Tikka Masala

June 12, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This recipe makes me the happiest camper out of all the other campers in the entire camp. I love fun spins on classic dishes, and the fact that we use roasted cauliflower as a replacement for chicken in this recipe makes this count as a fun spin 😉. I don't eat cauliflower very often. It's not that I dislike it, it's just not my all-time favorite vegetable. When I was younger, my dad would ...

Rainbow Veggie Rice Noodle Stir-Fry

June 9, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

So there's this restaurant here called Hu Hot, and it's one of those Mongolian Grill places where you "build a bowl," and they cook it on this big flat top next to everyone else's bowls. Sanitation score? Questionable. Flavor? #Bomb. My brother Lawson looooooves this place, so it's not uncommon that after church we end up heading over to Hu Hot for our weekly post-church lunch tradition. I ...

Blackened Fish Tacos with Cucumber Salsa

June 7, 2017 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Well, hello there, fish taco. You are such a delicious spring and summer meal that leaves me feeling light, refreshed, and oh so satisfied. Let's be friends forever and make winter never come so that it's always warm and we can hang out every day. Cold weather food is comfy and cozy, and I will say that it's probably my favorite type of food, but meals like this make me question that ...

Spicy Curried Carrot Soup

May 31, 2017 by Annie Chesson 11 Comments

This soup makes me happy. The flavor makes me happy. The color makes me happy. The texture makes me happy. And making it makes me happy. It's not super often that you find really unique and different soups. For the most part, they are pretty standard and include a lot of the same ingredients. So this soup is a breath of fresh air for the world of soup-lovers (....me) out there! This carrot soup ...

Pecan Bacon Brussels Sprouts with Sweet Cider Vinaigrette

April 28, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

OH MY GOSH I'm sorry I've been so MIA. I've had 8pm work days all of this week, and they continue through the end of next week because I'm helping with the play at school, and the performance is next Friday. So...basically I get home and go to bed. Just bear with me this week and next week if I seem quite absent - I promise I will be around consistently once these next few weeks are over! Now, ...
