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 ...

Sheet Pan Marinara

Sheet Pan Marinara - This is the ultimate easy pasta sauce! It all goes down on a sheet pan in the oven, and then you just blend it up, toss with pasta, and you’re ready! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Say hello to the ULTIMATE easy homemade pasta sauce, fam. It's a sheet pan dinner in pasta sauce form. We roast a sheet pan of cherry tomatoes, onion, and garlic low and slow - a whole hour in the oven. The flavor in all the veggies deepens and they get nice and caramelized, and then we blend it up with some raw cashews and water (which is the dairy free version of adding a big glug of heavy ...

30 Minute Creamy Tuscan Chicken (Dairy Free) - This is one of my all time favorite meals! Comes together in no time, easy to make, and SO creamy and flavorful - you’d never guess it was dairy free! TheGarlicDiaries.com

I think this is officially my favorite meal right now. Like if I could choose one thing to eat for a birthday dinner, it would be this. That's how obsessed I am with this recipe. You guys don't even know, and pregnancy with its lovely cravings probably doesn't help, but I've wanted this EVERY DAY. I ate it for dinner last week and then made it again for lunch the very next day. That's how much ...

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 ...

Buffalo Shrimp Lettuce Wraps (keto, paleo, whole 30)

May 1, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Is it just me, or are buffalo wings the life of every party? It's not uncommon for me to crave something smothered in buffalo sauce daily weekly. Ultra crispy crunchy buffalo wings are one of my fave things in the delicious world of food! But - game changer - have you ever tried buffalo shrimp? You've still got the crispy crunchy, you've still got the buffalo flavor, but instead of chicken ...
