Avocado “Toast” with a Sunny Side Up Egg

March 16, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Okay, so I'm excited about this one. Breakfast can be a struggle for me, especially while doing Whole 30. I get sick of the same breakfasts over and over again, and I get frustrated with the lack of options. When I'm not on Whole 30, I tend to cycle between phases of eggs, protein pancakes, sometimes things like oatmeal or toast, and then when I get super sick of breakfast all together, just ...

Whole 30 Week Two Recap

March 14, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Half way through, half way through, half way through! Whew. This second week has been an interesting one...In week one, we were all firey and motivated since it was still so new. We are still motivated, but we have also dealt with a little Whole 30 boredom and have at times felt a liiittttle over it. BUT - we are pushing over this hump and are determined to finish strong! Let's break down this ...

Cocoa and Chili Crusted Steak with Jalapeno Chimichurri

March 12, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

So I'm sure you have seen lots of those meal delivery ads for Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, and other similar companies, right? They're all the rage right now, and I can fully see why - SUPER convenient. Seth and I tried one a few years ago for one week just for fun to see if the food was any good. It was a fun week, but we still prefer just coming up with our own dinners! In February, when I was in ...

Roasted Root Vegetable Soup with Fried Sage Leaves

March 9, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

I'm trying to make the best of the fact that it's still wintery here in Kansas. Whenever it gets to this time of year and spring is so close I can almost taste it, I start to LOSE MA MIND. I don't want to be a negative Nancy over here, but I freaking hate cold weather. Winter itself has some nice perks: Christmas, coziness, and cold weather food, but the cold weather itself makes me want to curl ...

Whole 30 Week One Recap

March 7, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Week one of Whole 30 is officially dizzity-done, yo. As of Monday night! SO - let's chat... WHAT WE ATE Breakfasts: Eggs. Lots of eggs. Eggs in different ways - usually just scrambled, but sometimes I got a little more ambitious and made a few over easy fried eggs or an omelette stuffed with goodies. I usually have bacon with the eggs, but the other day I had leftover steak from the ...

Roasted Chicken and Veggie Bowls with Cashew Curry Sauce

March 5, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Holy cashew sauce, if you follow me on Instagram and have been keeping up with my stories documenting our Whole 30 journey, you have been overloaded with mass amounts of cashew curry sauce. It probably has you wondering...am I obsessed? Do I eat anything else other than the cashew curry sauce? Do I have some sort of problem that leads to me eating this sauce on everything for every meal? Answers: ...

Creamy Vegan Cashew Curry Sauce

March 2, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Hold the phone, I just died. THIS SAUCE GIVES ME ALL THE FEELS. It is... Impossibly creamy Rich Loaded with warm, spiced curry flavor Literally delicious on anything and everything your mind can fathom pouring it on Here's the thing - I enjoy dairy a lot. I like the richness that cream, milk, and cheese brings to a dish. So I was thinking that part of paleo and Whole 30 would be a ...

Fried Egg Turkey Burgers with Sweet Potato “Buns”

February 28, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Whole 30 day one is in the books, and we are makin' our way through day two right now! I think I'll have less of those Whole 30 symptoms that other people experience (like the "hangover" and super tired/pissy days at the beginning) because I was doing paleo for several weeks before this, so my body is used to this style of eating for the most part. I will say, however, that the fact that honey is ...
