Pickled Beet, Goat Cheese, and Arugula Salad

April 12, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This salad. is. life. It miiiiiight be my ALL TIME favorite salad ever. I no joke ate it every day for lunch for weeks, and the only reason I stopped is because we ran out of pickled beets and I kept forgetting to buy more. I keep a giant box of spring green mix, a giant box of arugula, a bag of red onions and lemons in the pantry, and a Costco pack of goat cheese in the fridge at all times so ...

Savory Poached Egg Oatmeal

March 15, 2019 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Alright, I'ma need you to bear with me through this one with some TRUST, people. Because this recipe sounds weird, and it might be a little hard to wrap your head around. Savory oatmeal...I was the most skeptical of all time when recipe testing this. I've only ever had oatmeal with things like brown sugar, maple syrup, bananas, cinnamon, fruit, etc...always sweet and breakfast-y - NEVER savory and ...

Stuffed Grilled Peaches with Black Pepper Honey

July 18, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Hello there, summer, may I celebrate you with the ultimate summer appetizer/snack/side i.e. grilled peaches? With a light and creamy filling? And a drizzle of black pepper honey? Aaaaand some sliced basil? Good, I'm glad you approve. A perfectly ripe peach is arguably one of my favorite things in the whole world to eat...it is tender, so sweet, and SO DELICIOUS. I have a hard time finding ripe ...

Goat Cheese, Caramelized Onion, and Pine Nut Toasts

October 9, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Ima have to make this one short today, friends. Today has been busy and crazy, and little Mr. Ford has been a high maintenance little nugget. Fussy, fussy, fussy any time I try and rock him to sleep. After asking a bunch of people for advice, it turns out that the magic trick is to just stand up, walk him around, and sway/bounce him. Apparently he just hates sitting and being rocked to sleep with ...

Warm Brown Rice and Kale Salad with Goat Cheese and Almonds

April 29, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Do you ever go through food phases? For example, you are in a sandwich phase, so you end up craving and eating a sandwich at least a few times a week. A Qdoba phase (my life) where you end up eating a burritoĀ at least once a week? Basically, by food phase, I mean any time that there is one particular food or food group that you feel like you're CONSTANTLY craving. When Seth and I were still ...

Baby Kale, Farro Salad with Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette

March 29, 2015 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Do you ever watch the show Top Chef? If you do, the name Richard Blais might sound familiar to you. He came in second place on his season (still bitter about that) and came back to compete again on Top Chef All Stars, which he won. Anyway, he is my favorite person that has ever been on that show - I love him. Well I found out that he has a restaurant in Atlanta, which is only an hour and a half ...
