Absolute Easiest No-Fuss Lasagna

October 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

One of my favorite things in the world to do is make my totally from scratch lasagna. I mean like SUPER from scratch: homemade pasta, homemade sauce - we even home make the ricotta (actually super easy). I make it when there's a really special occasion or when I'm feeling like spending an afternoon in the kitchen cooking something super labor intensive, because that can be calming and therapeutic ...

Bruschetta Panzanella Salad

August 27, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Let's talk about the beautiful thing that is panzanella. Have you ever heard of it before? Ever eaten it? If you don't know what it is, allow me to drop some knowledge on you...panzanella is literally bread salad. Bread. Salad. Italy, you really, REALLY came through for us here, friend. Panzanella (no big shocker here) is one of my all time favorite salads. I've made lots of different kinds, my ...

Instant Pot Italian Beef

June 25, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

You guys. I have made tons of Instant Pot recipes since I got it as a Christmas gift this past year, but - let me tell you - this is by far the easiest. It literally requires no work...unless you call searing a piece of meat in the Instant Pot and then dumping two jars of Italian goodness on top "work," becaauussee I don't. It's a zero effort prep...craziness. The jar of pepperoncinis and ...

30 Minute Brown Butter Sage Gnocchi with Spinach and Pine Nuts

February 16, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Gnocchi...Gnocchi, gnocchi, gnocchi. You are so tender and potato-y and delicious. Have you ever had gnocchi before? If you haven't, YOU ARE MISSING OUT, PEOPLE! They are iiiiitttyyy bitty, tiny, cute, adorableĀ little potato dumplings...they sound kind of weird, but they are soft and pillowy and taste like a mix between pasta and a dumpling. That might be a horrible description, but we're goin' ...

Easy Crock-Pot Italian Pasta

October 5, 2015 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

This recipe was super out of my comfort zone - probably more so than anything I have ever posted! I would definitely call it a "hail mary" in football terms... It was extremely experimental and used ingredients that I normally am not a fan of (eggplant...EGGPLANT!!). Say extremely experimental five times fast... See? I not only bring you yummy food but also entertaining tongue twisters! You're ...
