December 31, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This 25 Minute Dump and Go Taco Soup will revolutionize your healthy and CRAZY simple weeknight dinner game! It seriously doesn’t get any easier than this, and it’s so yummy! TheGarlicDiaries.com

WOW - it has been a while, internet fam. Since the week before Thanksgiving, I have posted one recipe on the blog! Between family being here for Thanksgiving and Christmas (which was time I intended to take off work), the weeks in between were a giant blur of sickness and lots of sleep-hating babies. Well, just one in particular πŸ™‚. I wasn't planning on ghosting the blog for an entire month, ...

Caprese Stuffed Avocado Cups with Balsamic Reduction (Keto)

April 19, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Well this is literally my obsession above all else. I eat it for lunch at least half the days of the week, and when I'm not eating it, I'm missing it. It is creamy and rich from the avocado, cheesy, smooth, and delicious from the fresh mozzarella cheese, bright and acidic from the tomatoes + the vinaigrette, and slightly sweet from the balsamic reduction. It hits every taste bud in your WHOLE ...

Beef Stroganoff

October 1, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Can I just start by saying that this is like THE definition of comfort food? Noodles smothered in a creamy, flavorful sauce loaded up with tender ground beef, mushrooms, onion, and garlic. It's just GOOD - that's the best way to describe it. Just straight up good food. Beef stroganoff is one of those cafeteria slash frozen food classics that you always seem to see. I'm talking the overcooked ...

Bruschetta Panzanella Salad

August 27, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Let's talk about the beautiful thing that is panzanella. Have you ever heard of it before? Ever eaten it? If you don't know what it is, allow me to drop some knowledge on you...panzanella is literally bread salad. Bread. Salad. Italy, you really, REALLY came through for us here, friend. Panzanella (no big shocker here) is one of my all time favorite salads. I've made lots of different kinds, my ...

Crazy Easy Three Ingredient Pimento Mac and Cheese

June 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Guess what I found in my eleven month old son's mouth this morning? I'll give you a few minutes to ponder your guess. *** *** Dog food. It was dog food. A pellet of dog food. **Cue all the vomit emojis.** He was crawling around on our rug in the living room and I saw him bring his little fist up to his face and he looked at me, clearly with something in his mouth, and I hopped up and ran ...

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 ...

Microwave Mac and Cheese in a Mug

December 20, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

It's official. My life is changed forever now that I can have a piping hot mug of delicious mac and cheese in five minutes FLAT. No joke on that five minutes - the pasta and water cook in the microwave for four minutes, during which you grate your cheddar cheese. The mug comes out of the microwave, gets a quick stir, the cheese and half and half get thrown in, and after another thirty seconds in ...

Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowls

October 11, 2017 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Sometimes, efficiency is just crucial in life, you know? Work might be crazy, you might have a bunch of kids running around the house, you might have a million little to-do list items ticking through your head. On those days/in those situations, you really need easy, efficient, quick, and yummy (because yumminess is key) dinners. Let's take this morning for example. I was multitasking as ...

Pork in Garlic Sauce

October 2, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Pork in Garlic Sauce is one of my all time favorite take out dishes. It's probs between this and lo mein for the top slot- it's hard to beat a good lo mein! But if I'm not ordering lo mein, you best believe there will be a steaming hot container of Pork in Garlic Sauce knocking on my door in 20-30 minutes πŸ‘…πŸ‘…πŸ‘…. The creation of this recipe is something I have toiled over for quite some time. I ...

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 ...
