Penne with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto

October 20, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

I meeaaannnnn, I know. It looks so good you could just reach through your shiny computer screen and grab a massive fork full. Or five. Or just grab the whole bowl...who are we kidding, no one would say no to a massive bowl of pasta after a long day #amIright? That mouthwatering red "sauce" coating those beautiful little whole grain penne noodles is none other than sun-dried tomato pesto. We use ...

Kale Pesto

January 30, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Pesto is just one of those things that makes anything taste awesome. If you are looking for a way to flavor up a boring dish, throw some pesto in there, people! The uses are endless...a few spoonfuls in your stir fry, a dollop on top of your bowl of soup, an addition to cream sauce, eaten straight out of your fridge with a spoon...ENDLESS! One of my personal favorite ways to use pesto is in a ...

Pesto Chicken Meatballs Over Lemon Arugula

June 10, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Between this recipe and the Chicken Meatballs with Thai Coconut Curry SauceĀ I posted recently, I think that chicken meatballs are my new besties. #bestiesforlife. Why? Because they are healthy, easy, and super yummy. Chicken is a much lighter meat than beef, and it also has a more subtle taste. Still supa delicious, but it yields to other flavors better, liiiikkkkkeeeeee curry sauce or PESTO, for ...

Pan Seared Scallops with Pistachio Pesto [21 Day Fix]

March 28, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Why have I been craving pistachios lately? Doesn't that seem super random to you? I'm not sure I've ever craved pistachios before...I'm sure someone out there would read this and tell me it's because my body is really craving fiber or protein or something like that. But...regardless of the reason...I was craving pistachios last week like nobody's business and wanted to make some kind of recipe ...

Veggie Power Bowls with Creamy Pesto Sauce

August 17, 2015 by Annie Chesson 20 Comments

This is such a yummy, flavorful, and HEALTHY meal! The pesto is really the key here, guys. It is a very non traditional pesto - so put away your basil and pine nuts and whip out your spinach, arugula, and almonds! Proceed to whiz together and pour embarrassing amounts on every type of food in your refrigerator. This dish is packed with so much protein and healthy ingredients that it almost ...

Cilantro Cashew Pesto

May 28, 2015 by Annie Chesson 41 Comments

There is this restaurant in Charlotte called Cowfish, and it is one of my top three favorite restaurants that I have ever eaten at EVER. It is soooo so so so soooooooo SO good. The point of the restaurant is the fusion between burgers and sushi - hence the name...Cowfish. So aaaanyway, there is this one burgushi (their sushi/burger combo rolls) called the Taste Explosion that has this cilantro ...

Pesto Chicken Salad Pita Pockets

October 28, 2014 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

We are on day two out of three in our pesto week! This chicken salad pita is not only very healthy for you, it is packed with tons of flavor. The chicken is juicy and pesto-y (word?), the red onions are sharp and crisp, the arugula is fresh and peppery, and the creamy lemon pesto yogurt sauce brings a final note of brightness to the sandwich. This recipe won't make you feel like you are eating ...
