August 3, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

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 ...

Smashed Chickpea and Avocado

May 9, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Aaaaand welcome to my obsession. My love language. My crack = ^^^^. I made this recipe FOR-EVER go, before my Instant Pot series and before Whole 30, so it has taken me this long to actually get around to posting it because I had to finish those two things out first. Now that I am done with my Instant Pot series and done with my Whole 30 recipes, this delicious little baby FINALLY has its time in ...

Hot Cheesy Corn Dip

January 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Okay, I mean...let's just be real with each other for a second. Is there anyone out there who doesn't have an emotionally intimate moment with their computer screen when they hear words like hot+cheesy+corn+dip in one title? How could this dip possibly not be the most delicious chip topper ever when it's cheesy, creamy, and loaded with sweet kernels of corn? If I'm being honest, I could go to TOWN ...

3 Ingredient Vanilla Greek Yogurt

December 2, 2015 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Um...what happened in November...? I feel like November passed in three days. Guess how many times I posted in November? GUESS?!?! Four. Four times. Whoops. I'm sorryyyyyyyyyyy. I don't even know what happened. Actually I do know what happened. I traveled my FACE off.

Baked Greek Yogurt Chicken Flautas

August 19, 2015 by Annie Chesson 24 Comments

Okay I know that whole "lets bake this usually-fried-item in the oven and pretend it tastes as good as the original" game. I don't like that game. I have played it before. And I don't like it. So you should trust me when I tell you about HOW GOOOODDD these baked flautas are! I was very surprised how crispy turned out just from the good ol' oven. Yum. Just...yum. You know the kind of food ...

Hello, friends! It's been a while. And this is not because I didn't set out time throughout the weekend and week to cook/blog.

Blackened Salmon with Lime Cream

May 23, 2015 by Annie Chesson 21 Comments

This salmon. It is SO easy to make and absolutely delicious. The spice rub browns in the pan and becomes this crispy, flavor bomb coating on the outside of the salmon that pairs perfectly with the refreshing lime cream that gets drizzled on top. It is seriously a match made in heaven! When Seth tried this he said it was one of the best things I've ever made...ever...so we will definitely be ...

Spicy Greek Yogurt Deviled Eggs

February 13, 2015 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

In my opinion, Deviled Eggs are some of the best finger food-appetizer-snacks ever. I absolutely love them. I can eat an entire plate full and still want to go back for more...I have to be really careful when I am at an event where someone brought Deviled Eggs, because if I don't pay attention, I will eat half the plate before everyone else gets to have their fair share...confession. The only ...
