Nooch Popcorn

March 18, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Homemade popcorn is one of my all time favorite things to eat. I can crush an insane amount of it in one sitting - it's slightly inhuman. Most people I know aren't super used to making homemade popcorn, but it is SO easy, and it's a million times better, IMO. I use something called a Whirley Pop, but you can use a lot of different things. I've seen air poppers for popcorn that are pretty cool, ...

Refined Sugar Free Apple Sauce

October 24, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Y'all. I wish I had footage that I could attach here of my one year old fiending so hard over this apple sauce. His little body just bounces up and down when I pull it out of the fridge and he just wants spoonful after spoonful after spoonful. I may or may not sneak a few spoonfuls myself, because this apple sauce is BAE - not just for the chillins. It's easy to make, it's healthy, and it's a ...

Overnight Crock-Pot Pumpkin Apple Butter

October 10, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

If you are from an area of the country/world that doesn't have apple butter, and you've never heard of it/don't know what it is, allow me to please explain to you the beauty of this delicious item. Apple butter. There's actually no butter, but "butter" is in the title because of the smooth, velvety spreadability of the final, pureed, slow cooked apple product. It's like jam in the way that you ...

Curry White Bean Dip

November 10, 2017 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Are you ready for quite possibly the easiest little appetizer/party food/snack ever? This white bean dip takes TOPS five minutes to make. Everything just gets dumped into a food processor and whirled around to smooth, mouthwatering perfection. SO easy it’s not even fair! What will you use your extra not-prepping-complicated-appetizers-and-snacks time doing? Sitting down with a cup of coffee? ...

Goat Cheese, Caramelized Onion, and Pine Nut Toasts

October 9, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Ima have to make this one short today, friends. Today has been busy and crazy, and little Mr. Ford has been a high maintenance little nugget. Fussy, fussy, fussy any time I try and rock him to sleep. After asking a bunch of people for advice, it turns out that the magic trick is to just stand up, walk him around, and sway/bounce him. Apparently he just hates sitting and being rocked to sleep with ...

Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus

October 6, 2017 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Welp, I basically just had the best day of my life. Why am I posting this at 9:30 pm? Because I was busy having the best day of my life. Allow me to elaborate. Let us travel back to Tuesday morning. My doorbell rang, and there was a lady delivering flowers to me for my birthday. I take them from said lovely flower lady, go inside, and read the note. They are from my husband, and the note says for ...

POPCORN IS LYFE. But fo reals. Popcorn is my everything. Dearest popcorn, can you please come into my life and be a constant presence with me always?

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 ...

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows

October 7, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

OKAY, people, it has taken some serious self control to wait all the way until Friday to post this recipe. I have been dying to put these marshmallows on here all week. They have just been sitting on my counter...staring at me every time I walk by...saying "Hello, look how pretty and fall-y and fluffy and delicious we are! POST US." So...I am very excited to finally be able to do so. And I have ...
