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 ...

Curry White Bean Dip

November 10, 2017 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Are you ready for quite possibly the easiest little appetizer/party food/snack ever? This white bean dip takes TOPS five minutes to make. Everything just gets dumped into a food processor and whirled around to smooth, mouthwatering perfection. SO easy it’s not even fair! What will you use your extra not-prepping-complicated-appetizers-and-snacks time doing? Sitting down with a cup of coffee? ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Crock Pot White Chicken Chili

April 6, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

My dearest Crock Pot, I am grasping onto you for the remaining few weeks that it is acceptable to use you! Soon, warmer weather will be knocking on my front door, and I will welcome it with EXTREMELY open arms, but I will store you away, my Crock Pot friend, until next fall with sadness. One of the very few sad points about winter ending. Emphasis on FEW. I am sooooo ready for winter to be ...

Baked Chili Lime Chicken Breasts

March 9, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Cooking is hard when life is crazy. I've been told that no one truly understands what "busy" really means until they have kids, and maybe one day I'll agree with that when I have multiple kids, but I still feel like life can get pretty crazy right now. Between teaching, helping with the play, and blogging, sometimes it feels like the days are just going non stop! And that definitely makes cooking ...

Herbed Mixed Berry Salad

March 7, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Do you guys find yourself craving healthy, fresh things like fruit and salad if you've had a few days of unhealthy eating? This happens to me biiiiiig time. If I've had some meals over the last few days that aren't exactly packed with nutrition (i.e. pizza...burgers...nah mean?), I end up having this deep desire for crunchy, fresh salads and bright, tangy fruit. That was me this weekend. On ...

Turkey Burger Lettuce Wraps

February 14, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

CHEESEBURGERS OCCUPY 99% OF MY THOUGHTS. All day long. I'm at work...cheeseburgers. I'm teaching a class and someone mentions lunch...cheeseburgers. Someone mentions the color yellow...cheese...cheeseburgers. Someone mentions reading...cheeseburgers. It does not have to be remotely relevant, but somehow my mind finds a way to get to cheeseburger. Thank you, little human growing in my belly, for ...
