The BEST Italian Roasted Potatoes

February 13, 2020 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

The BEST Italian Roasted Potatoes - These delicious, crispy potatoes are tossed in a delicious Italian sauce, roasted, and then tossed in more of the same sauce and served. They are insanely flavorful and crazy delicious! #Whole30 TheGarlicDiaries.com

Strap in for the SINGLE best roasted potato you will eat in your lifetime. For reals, these things are like a flavor explosion, and that doesn't happen often with potatoes. Usually potatoes taste like...potatoes! Which is great, potatoes taste amazing - fried, roasted, mashed - they are bomb in all forms, BUT, they don't usually contain a lot of flavor aside from the flavor of potato. But ...

Whole Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Reduction

April 10, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Brussels sprouts are the most underrated vegetable in the world. People have been brainwashed by their grandparents and parents boiling them to the consistency of absolute mush and then dumping them on their plate and force feeding them mushy globs of questionable smelling sprouts. BUT - listen, these poor brussels sprouts have just been wildly misunderstood. Because when cooked correctly and ...

Garlic Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes

March 8, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Can we just take a moment here? Look at that beautiful little tomato. Stuffed with garlic, drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and then roasted for an entire hour so it just condenses and becomes ultra soft, sweet, and loaded with roasted, caramelized flavor. What you're looking at here is tomato dreams, people. The peak of tomato perfection. What each ...

Baked 3 Cheese Mac and Cheese

November 13, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I'm a firm - FIRM - believer in mac and cheese being a mandatory element of a successful and delicious Thanksgiving spread. I've found two parties here: people that are with me and see it as a necessary accompaniment just like stuffing or mashed potatoes, and then the people who never include it with their other sides. If you are in that second group...why? Who hurt you? Jk. BUT let's talk ...

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 ...
