Chopped Cauliflower Salad - Tender roasted cauliflower diced up and tossed with celery, almonds, and fennel and drizzled with a delicious lemon vinaigrette! Such a hearty and delicious salad that’s perfect for fall! TheGarlicDiaries.com

There's something so fun and satisfying about a salad without any greens! They are super extra hearty, and it's like a bowl full of JUST the toppings (which are the best part anyway, right?!). This salad is definitely hearty, but it's also full of flavors and textures that balance each other out: Roasted, tender cauliflowerCrunchy fresh celery and fennelNutty almondsA bright lemon ...

Lemon Garlic Roasted Potatoes

May 23, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

We're gettin' real in here today with these roasted potatoes. If you think roasted potatoes belong in a colder, more wintery season, just HOLD THE PHONE. The lemon garlic sauce that these potatoes are tossed in before and after roasting + the fresh dill sprinkled over the potatoes at the end request you to rethink your position on non-summer roasted potatoes. Here's the deal with spring/summer ...

Healing Chicken Noodle Stew

October 4, 2017 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

This stew could not be more perfect for the current weather in Kansas right now. It has been raining for two days, and it is just wonderfully comfy and cozy. Rainy days are awful if you are trying to run errands and be productive, but if you are staying inside all or most of the day? Pure bliss. Rainy days also aren't great for blog photography because no bright natural light = no bueno. But they ...

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 ...

Herbed Pea and Orzo Salad

July 6, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Remember that time we made an amazing herb condiment packed with basil, cilantro, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil and then folded it into pasta? OH WAIT. That happened today ????. And holy delicious, it was a big bowl of wow-it's-hot-outside-so-let's-make-easy-food-with-bright-flavors-and-be-happy-forever. You pickin' up what I'm puttin' down? Good. So...those herbs. That ...

Poached Eggs over Roasted Asparagus with Lemon Vinaigrette [21 Day Fix]

March 3, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Poached eggs are scary. They seem very fancy and seem to require a lot of technical skill to make. Let me tell you something, though - with a few little tricks, making poached eggs is just as easy and scrambling 'em up in a skillet. I promise! And then you will look all fancy and awesome eating a perfectly poached egg. We can just keep it between you and I that it was super simple. No one else has ...

Dijon Crusted Salmon with Simple Arugula Salad [21 Day Fix]

February 24, 2016 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Seafood twice in one week?? That's a lot for a blog that has included seafood a grand total of like three times (total estimate) over the last few years. I am making an effort to cook it more. Variety is the spice of life, right? You know what else is the spice of life? Everything that goes on top of this salmon. Dijon mustard, lemon juice, seasoned breadcrumbs. Seasoned with what, you may ask? ...

20 Minute Lemon Parmesan Pasta

January 23, 2016 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

On Monday I posted a "fifteen minute" recipe, and today I'm posting a "twenty minute" recipe...I guess I got a little carried away with my quick and easy meals this week! I'll tell you something, though. Neither of these meals taste like they took twenty minutes or less to make. You know what is an absolutely delicious trio of flavors? I'll tell you...lemon, parmesan, and garlic. Something about ...

White Bean Soup with Bacon and Chives

August 5, 2015 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Okay, okay, okay I know. Soup. Hot soup. In August. In my defense, my original intention for this recipe was a "Chilled White Bean Soup," but I liked it so much better hot! I am one of those weird people who eats soup all year round even when its 105 degrees outside. I definitely prefer fall and winter food to summer food. Summer food is good too (who am I kidding...I love it all), but I find ...
