Marinated Pork and Pineapple Kabobs

February 8, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Okay, before we start, let's just acknowledge that I am posting a recipe for a GRILLED pork and pineapple. And the pork is marinated in a puree of mango (and some other stuff). And this is happening in February. The dead of winter. So before you go on thinking I'm cray cray, just keep in mind that I know this is a totally inappropriate recipe for winter, and it's screaming summer through your ...

Broccoli Cheddar Brown Rice Skillet

January 23, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Why is the combination of broccoli and cheddar SO good? I guess that asks the question why any famous pair is so delicious...seafood and lemon, pork and apples, tomato soup and grilled cheese, strawberries and chocolate? Pepperoni pizza and pregnant women? Maybe that's just me, but pizza is bae right now. BAE 😍. But for reals, broccoli and cheddar. What up with that?! Any time you mix broccoli ...

Super Simple Coconut Lime Quinoa

January 20, 2017 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

This is officially my new favorite way to eat quinoa. Quinoa is probably the thing I make most on repeat at my house. It is so good for you, a perfect side for pretty much anything, and it tastes awesome! I also like the texture - it's kind of chewy...in a good way! So, as you can imagine, I have made about a billion and one types of quinoa over the years, but this one takes the cake with zero ...

Pumpkin Spice Granola

November 9, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Alright, first of all, I've gotta give a big shout-out to my friends over at Chobani for sending me a delicious package of their products. I love representing companies that I can actually stand behind, and Chobani is definitely one of those companies! Greek yogurt is always something I have in my fridge, and Chobani is always the brand I buy. Especially now that they came out with their whole ...

The Most BOSS Salad of All Time

August 12, 2016 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

I mean...the title says it all. I sat here debating for a good ten minutes over whether or not I wanted to title this salad what it actually was (which we will talk about in a minute), or if I should give it a title that immediately alerts you that you are about to make and eat THE MOST BOSS SALAD EVER. Not even exaggerating. I've had a lot of salads, and I've made a lot of salads...this one ...

Flavor Bomb Pork Chops with Mango Salsa

June 24, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Do you ever think that a specific place, area, or season tastes like something? Hold...let me give you a few examples before you think I'm cray cray. To me, fall tastes like Pumpkin Spice Lattes. The beach tastes like crab dipped in butter sauce. Christmas tastes like hot chocolate. My home in North Carolina tastes like Chicken Pot Pie and Baked Potato Soup. The school where I teach tastes like ...

Vegan Chili Stewed Chickpeas

June 21, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

So basically these last few weeks have been a hey-my-husband-is-finally-home-from-his-deployment-so-let's-celebrate-and-go-out-to-eat-every-three-seconds type of situation. We haven't been eating super badly (with the exception of a few several meals), but it definitely hasn't been kale salad and protein shakes over here. We went to Topeka with my sister-in-law and niece yesterday, so we ate at a ...

Roasted Garlic and Avocado Toast

June 17, 2016 by Annie Chesson 11 Comments

Stop what you are doing right now. STAAHHHPPPP. Go to the grocery store, pick up fifty heads of garlic, roast every single one of them, and bask in the perfection that ensues. Do it. Because just one head of roasted garlic will never be enough. I could quite literally eat an entire head of roasted garlic plain, just completely plain and on its own, and be super content with life. Super stressful ...
