Baked Coconut Shrimp [21 Day Fix]

March 7, 2016 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Coconut shrimp brings back happy, happy memories for me. There is this restaurant in Charlotte (and other places I'm sure), called Firebirds, and they have a-may-zing coconut shrimp. So, so, so, so, yummy. And I always had so much fun going there for various celebratory occasions (it's slightly fancy). Now, these aren't exactly like Firebird's because theirs have a good quarter inch of breading ...

Quinoa Mac and Cheese

August 21, 2015 by Annie Chesson 39 Comments

Let me just start out by saying that I was totally blown away by how much this tasted like actual mac and cheese. It tasted just like it!! Which brings me to the conclusion that mac and cheese is alllllll about the sauce. Because if it tastes just as good with quinoa as it does with macaroni, it has to be about the sauce, right?? That is my theory anyway. Which I obviously will have to test many ...
