Pizza officially just got super easy. I'm talkin' store bought naan, store bought pesto, some cheese, sliced tomato, basil, bam. You done. And it just so happens to taste as delicious as those homemade, more complicated, and time consuming pizzas. Listen, I'm all bout dat homemade pizza.

3 Cheese Quinoa Cakes

October 27, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Can you go wrong with anything that is titled "3 cheese"? You definitely can't go wrong with these quinoa cakes, I know that. They are dense, cheesy, crispy, and super filling and hearty. Eat them as a side, or pile a few on your plate for a whole meal. They are seriously delicious! This recipe was actually originally supposed to just be three cheese quinoa...just a bowl of cheesy quinoa. Which ...

One Pot Three Cheese Mac and Cheese

May 2, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

"Three Cheese Mac and Cheese"...sounds kinda repetitive doesn't it? The thought crossed my mind, but then I asked myself, how could you ever say no to a recipe title that uses the word "cheese" twice? So I left it, because two cheeses in one title = a winning meal. Because cheese is bae. And so is mac and cheese. And so are one pot meals. I know...I need to stop with the one pot pastas. I need ...

Baked Gnocchi with Blistered Tomato Parmesan Sauce

December 7, 2016 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Wait...I just peaked. I might as well quit blogging now, because this is as delicious as food can possibly get. My career is oveerrrrrrr 😭😭😭. But for real...this baked gnocchi is my love language. Have you ever played the game Desert Island where you go around and say the three things you would bring if you were stranded on an island somewhere like ma' man Tom Hanks and his friend Wilson? ...

Grilled Chicken Caesar Wraps with Mayo-Free Dressing

June 15, 2016 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

Ima not even tell you about my secret ingredient that makes this dressing super healthy yet. It will keep you on the edge of your seat/couch/bed/desk chair until I finally decide to drop the bomb of deliciousness that takes a usually mayonnaise and fat packed dressing and makes it good for your tum-tum. That's right...the suspense is growing. Meanwhile, since I'm withholding my dressing ...

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 ...

Simple Kale Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

January 13, 2016 by Annie Chesson 63 Comments

My best friend's dad is seriously one of the best cooks I have ever met in my life. Megan and I grew up together, and I remember when I would go to her house for dinner, I would always be totally obsessed with anything her dad made. Baaaasically what I'm saying is that he rocks. Anyway, I went to visit Megan and my other best friend in North Carolina for New Years Eve this year, and I stayed at ...

Okay, I love these. ???. LOVE. I worked at a sports bar in college, and we served garlic parmesan chicken wings, aaaand they were basically the best things ever. A few months ago, Seth and I went out to eat, and guess what I saw on the menu?? Garlic Parmesan chicken strips. They were just as delicious if not more delicious than the wings from college. So I was determined to recreate this recipe ...
