Roasted Salmon with Mediterranean Salsa

April 19, 2021 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

Roasted Salmon with Mediterranean Salsa - Such an easy, healthy, hearty, and satisfying dinner that comes together in no time! The salmon is tender and juicy, the salsa is packed with unbelievable amounts of flavor - it'll be a new favorite for sure!

This salmon is one of my new all time favorite things to make. It's SO easy (the easiest way to make salmon ever - just pop it in the oven and "buy byeeeee" for fifteen minutes), the salsa on top is fresh and LOADED with flavor, and the whole thing is a healthy, hearty, satisfying week night meal! When I make this, I prep the salsa during nap time, and when it's dinner time, all I have to do is ...

Avocado Chimichurri

June 4, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I mean, on a scale of one to ten, how acceptable is it to slather avocado chimichurri all over your body like lotion? A hard six? I'll take it. This chimichurri is THE actual best. We have had it twice on grilled flank steak and once on roasted potatoes, and all times it was life giving. Like...I-want-to-eat-this-straight-from-the-bowl-with-a-spoon level of life giving. It's not only THE ...

Hot Bacon Dressing

May 20, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Can I just say that I'm so happy we live in a world where something called "bacon dressing" exists? I mean...what is this life? The fact that we can douse our salad in hot bacon dressing and call it a meal makes my heart the happiest it's ever been. This takes dressing to a whole new level. We literally use the fat rendered from the bacon as the oil in this dressing. Is that even legal? It's ...

Thick and Creamy Cauliflower Mash

May 13, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Cauliflower mash has never been my favorite. It's always been a little bit thin, and I could never get it really unctuous and thick and creamy like I wanted. But I have been on a cauliflower mash mission to make a puree that wouldn't make me sad about the lack of potatoes! After trying a few different tricks, I discovered a cauliflower mash that is CRAZY thick, CRAZY creamy, and SUPER velvety ...

Keto Sushi (paleo, whole 30)

May 6, 2019 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

Sushi is my favorite food. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast sushi? Someone needs to get ON THAT asap. Cause I'd be so down! I had it last night for dinner - just the kind they sell pre-made at the grocery store. See? I don't need anything fancy. I don't discriminate...give me sushi in any form and I'll love you forever. Since doing keto (and when we were doing Whole ...

Caprese Stuffed Avocado Cups with Balsamic Reduction (Keto)

April 19, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Well this is literally my obsession above all else. I eat it for lunch at least half the days of the week, and when I'm not eating it, I'm missing it. It is creamy and rich from the avocado, cheesy, smooth, and delicious from the fresh mozzarella cheese, bright and acidic from the tomatoes + the vinaigrette, and slightly sweet from the balsamic reduction. It hits every taste bud in your WHOLE ...

April 15, 2019 by Annie Chesson 34 Comments

Um, excuse me - hello, beautiful. You are perfection in every sense of the word. You are absurdly crispy on top, fall-apart moist and juicy in the middle, and full of delicious, fatty goodness. I AM IN LOVE. I have only every eaten pork belly in super fancy restaurant situations, so I figured it would be crazy expensive to buy at the store. But for two big chunks of pork belly - two and a ...
