Grilled Chicken Caesar Wraps with Mayo-Free Dressing

June 15, 2016 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Ima not even tell you about my secret ingredient that makes this dressing super healthy yet. It will keep you on the edge of your seat/couch/bed/desk chair until I finally decide to drop the bomb of deliciousness that takes a usually mayonnaise and fat packed dressing and makes it good for your tum-tum. That's right...the suspense is growing. Meanwhile, since I'm withholding my dressing ...

Pesto Chicken Meatballs Over Lemon Arugula

June 10, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Between this recipe and the Chicken Meatballs with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce I posted recently, I think that chicken meatballs are my new besties. #bestiesforlife. Why? Because they are healthy, easy, and super yummy. Chicken is a much lighter meat than beef, and it also has a more subtle taste. Still supa delicious, but it yields to other flavors better, liiiikkkkkeeeeee curry sauce or PESTO, for ...

30 Minute One Pot Barbecue Chicken Quinoa Skillet

June 1, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Can I confess something to you? I know you won't tell anyone. For my entire life - every single day of my entire life - I thought barbecue was spelled barbeque. When did I come to the realization that this is, in fact, false? I'm glad you ask. It was about five minutes ago. I had made my Pinterest image and everything (that I put at the bottom of each post) with barbecue spelled with a "Q." Let's ...

Barley Fried Rice with Marinated Shrimp

May 23, 2016 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Confession: I have a new love in my life. Don't tell my husband. It's barley. Oh, barley. Why didn't you come into my life sooner? Why have you waited this long to make your delicious presence known to me? I mean, yes. I knew you existed before, but I had only eaten you in canned soup (particularly Progresso Beef and Barley - holllaaaa). You have now become a very delicious part of my weekly ...

You know last week when I said it was hot in Kansas? Fail. It got chilly again. Why, why, whhaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy ????! Bright side: chilly weather = cozy food.

Spicy Shrimp Bowls with Parmesan Quinoa and Garlic Kale

May 13, 2016 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

STAAHHPP with the kale. I know...I know...I'm sorry. It's the kale phase forcing my mind to only think of kale-inclusive recipes. The kale phase is still going strong, people. It's still going real strong. Can I tell you something that will clue you in on the craziness of my brain this week? I went grocery shopping after work today before I picked up Boone and headed home. Well, as I was ...

Pineapple, Basil, and Coconut Ice Pops

May 10, 2016 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Welp, it's officially hot outside in Kansas. And I am LOVING IT. Seriously, I hate being cold. I violently hate it. It just immediately frustrates me intensely when I am freezing. Hence, winter = no bueno. Except for snow and Christmas - I like those things. Cold weather just hurts, know what I mean? Yes, hot weather can be extremely uncomfortable, but it doesn't hurt like cold weather does! Cold ...

Twenty One 21 Day Fix Recipes

May 6, 2016 by Annie Chesson 23 Comments

So...here's the situation. I'm usually not into things like the 21 Day Fix. I'm more of a traditional "eat healthy and work out" type of person. However, the program interested me as I started to hear more and more about it because it doesn't actually restrict what you eat and don't eat - it just guides you on proper portion sizes for each food group and ensures that you get balanced ...

Chicken Meatballs with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce

May 4, 2016 by Annie Chesson 39 Comments

These meatballs, these meatballs, these meeaattbbaalllllssssss. Question: why don't we eat meatballs for every single meal every single day? Answer: because we don't make good life decisions. Meatballs are SO GOOD. They are just so good. And the awesome thing about them? You can literally do a million different things with them. Correction...a million and one things. I'm going to be straight up ...
