Quinoa Walnut Taco Meat

March 11, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Taco night needs to be a mandatory occasion in households across America. Can we all get on board with this? Tacos are such a delicious, simple, and homey dinner! I know a lot of families that have a specific night every single week where the family loads up on as many tacos as they can pack in their bellies, and I also know that when tacos are a weekly occasion, it's good to be able to switch ...

August 3, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Let me just paint a quick picture for you here, friends. It's a busy week day, whether you are at home or at work, and before you know it, your stomach is grumbling, you look at the clock, and it's already lunch time. You scan your mind for what you have in your fridge/what you brought to work for lunch, and - ding! - you remember that you did an awesome, wonderful thing for yourself and meal ...

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 ...

Super Simple Coconut Lime Quinoa

January 20, 2017 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

This is officially my new favorite way to eat quinoa. Quinoa is probably the thing I make most on repeat at my house. It is so good for you, a perfect side for pretty much anything, and it tastes awesome! I also like the texture - it's kind of chewy...in a good way! So, as you can imagine, I have made about a billion and one types of quinoa over the years, but this one takes the cake with zero ...

Pumpkin Spice Granola

November 9, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Alright, first of all, I've gotta give a big shout-out to my friends over at Chobani for sending me a delicious package of their products. I love representing companies that I can actually stand behind, and Chobani is definitely one of those companies! Greek yogurt is always something I have in my fridge, and Chobani is always the brand I buy. Especially now that they came out with their whole ...

30 Minute One Pot Barbecue Chicken Quinoa Skillet

June 1, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Can I confess something to you? I know you won't tell anyone. For my entire life - every single day of my entire life - I thought barbecue was spelled barbeque. When did I come to the realization that this is, in fact, false? I'm glad you ask. It was about five minutes ago. I had made my Pinterest image and everything (that I put at the bottom of each post) with barbecue spelled with a "Q." Let's ...

Spicy Shrimp Bowls with Parmesan Quinoa and Garlic Kale

May 13, 2016 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

STAAHHPP with the kale. I know...I know...I'm sorry. It's the kale phase forcing my mind to only think of kale-inclusive recipes. The kale phase is still going strong, people. It's still going real strong. Can I tell you something that will clue you in on the craziness of my brain this week? I went grocery shopping after work today before I picked up Boone and headed home. Well, as I was ...

Quinoa Mac and Cheese

August 21, 2015 by Annie Chesson 39 Comments

Let me just start out by saying that I was totally blown away by how much this tasted like actual mac and cheese. It tasted just like it!! Which brings me to the conclusion that mac and cheese is alllllll about the sauce. Because if it tastes just as good with quinoa as it does with macaroni, it has to be about the sauce, right?? That is my theory anyway. Which I obviously will have to test many ...

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 ...
