Instant Pot Mexican Chicken Stew

August 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Soo...on a scale of one to ten, how mad are you about me posting a stew recipe in the 100 degree August heat? I know this is a sin in some of your homes. Spring and summer are the months where your soup pots get put away, you put your right hand on the Bible, and you solemnly swear not to eat any comfort food until September at the earliest. If that's you, can we still be friends? Can you pop ...

Spiralized Sweet Potato Taco Skillet

May 7, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Tacos are life. I've been having a consistent taco craving fooorr...I wanna say...approximately 15 years. It's never ending - I'm always down for a taco. Luckily, on whole 30, a taco craving is actually pretty easily satiated. There are a lot of healthy substitutes where you ditch the cheese and tortilla but still get your taco fix. Lettuce wraps = perf. Taco bowls (with cauliflower rice) = ...

Instant Pot Chicken Poblano Soup

February 16, 2018 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

Soups are one of my all time favorite things to cook. There is so much versatility, and you can make them SO PAINFULLY delicious when you add a bunch of yummy flavor combinations. There are days where I'm craving the simplicity of a straight up chicken noodle soup, but most of the time I like to make soups that are a little more unique and just bursting with a slap-you-across-the-face amount of ...

You guys...I have been so, so, so, so, excited to start this series of Instant Pot recipes kicking off today! I've got eight coming your way, starting with these amazing carnitas that are too delicious for words. I have been hearing many things about the Instant Pot for the last year or so, and as the hype continued to go up and up and up, I finally decided to go ahead and get one. Well, I didn't ...

One Pot Steak Fajita Pasta

November 3, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Are you proud of me for taking such a long break from one pot pastas?? I was getting redundant there a while ago and decided to take a little one-pot pasta reprive and not over do it...which...can you actually do? I mean, does one ever actually get enough of one pot pastas?? They are basically the best and most efficient dinners ever. All your stuff, pasta included, cooks in one pot. How do up ...

Twenty Minute Refried Beans

May 30, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

OH MY GOSH LIFE. I have been hardcore absent from my blogging world for so long. We were in the last few weeks of the school year, and it was my last year of teaching since the baby is coming soon (yay!), so I really wanted to soak up those last few weeks and stay totally focused on enjoying every minute of them. Also, I was busy - hi, making finals for four different grade levels is time ...

Guacamole Turkey Burgers [21 Day Fix]

March 15, 2016 by Annie Chesson 25 Comments

Okay. This is totally one of my new healthy faves. Scratch "healthy faves" and replace with just "faves" in general. The word faves is starting to sound strange. Despite the overuse of "faves," this turkey burger seriously is out of this world. The addition of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in the ground turkey yields SO much flavor. The patty alone seared with those ...

Chicken Tortilla Soup

February 1, 2016 by Annie Chesson 26 Comments

Yes. The answer to your question, yes, it tastes as good as it looks 👅👍😍👅. In case you missed that...it was one slurpy tongue (which signifies delicious food in my emoji dictionary - I don't know about yours), one thumbs up, one "heart eyes," and a second slurpy tongue (signifying more delicious food). This all roughly translates to the following: this soup rocks and you must make it and love it ...

Cheesy Mexican Rice Casserole

January 11, 2016 by Annie Chesson 24 Comments

Hello, strangers! It has been quite a while since I've been able to make my way over to this little corner of the internet. Between holidays, SO MUCH TRAVEL, and less than satisfactory weather in Kansas (meaning dark and stormy every day) ((meaning photography = no no)), I have definitely had some issues bringing you three posts a week. But we had sunny weather this past weekend, and I was able ...

One Pot Mexican Pasta Skillet

December 6, 2015 by Annie Chesson 17 Comments

You may know by this point that I'm slightly obsessed with one pot meals. They are just so practical and awesome! There aren't a million pots/pans to deal with, and you can clean up the kitchen while your dinner is simmering away. IT'S SO SATISFYING. I get a little bit too excited when I find a delicious one pot meal recipe...liiikkkeeee this one! Mmmmm...Mexican food. I love Mexican food ...
