Whole 30 Zuppa Toscana

March 6, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I have conflicting opinions about Olive Garden...I'm not a huge fan of their food overall, and Seth definitely isn't super into it, BUT their unlimited soup and salad is BAAAEEEE. The salad is okay, but the soup is tha bomb.com. Specifically their Zuppa Toscana. It's so simple, but it's so so yummy. The flavorful sausage, soft potatoes, tender kale, and delicious, slightly spicy, slightly creamy ...

Instant Pot Mexican Chicken Stew

August 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Soo...on a scale of one to ten, how mad are you about me posting a stew recipe in the 100 degree August heat? I know this is a sin in some of your homes. Spring and summer are the months where your soup pots get put away, you put your right hand on the Bible, and you solemnly swear not to eat any comfort food until September at the earliest. If that's you, can we still be friends? Can you pop ...

Roasted Root Vegetable Soup with Fried Sage Leaves

March 9, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

I'm trying to make the best of the fact that it's still wintery here in Kansas. Whenever it gets to this time of year and spring is so close I can almost taste it, I start to LOSE MA MIND. I don't want to be a negative Nancy over here, but I freaking hate cold weather. Winter itself has some nice perks: Christmas, coziness, and cold weather food, but the cold weather itself makes me want to curl ...

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 ...

One Pot Smoky Lentil Stew

January 17, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Do you want to know what happened in Kansas today? They closed schools because of EXTREME COLD. Like...no snow...no ice...no dangerous driving conditions...just cold weather. The concern is that they don't want kids waiting outside for the buses when it's like negative ten degrees. So hopefully that gives you a nice frigid visual of the  weather outside right now. Growing up in North Carolina ...

Stout Chili

December 8, 2017 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

You chilly? Eat some chili. Ima just leave that cheesy pun there for a few minutes so you can enjoy it. Has it been enjoyed? Good. Let's continue. Ummmm can you maybe ignore the fact that this is the second chili recipe I've posted within a few months? What can I say...I'm a fan of chili, and I love how creative you can get with it. Also, it's the perfect cold weather food! It simmers on ...

Pork Shoulder and Roasted Tomatillo Stew

November 1, 2017 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

And the new upcoming trendy food item of 2018 goes tooooooo...hominy! JK there's probs no way that's going to happen. I rarely see hominy used in recipes. In fact, this is only the second time that I've ever even cooked with it or tasted it. The first time was in college when I was following someone else's recipe, and it was a vegetarian chili verde. But now...oh man, the hominy bug has bit me ...

Healing Chicken Noodle Stew

October 4, 2017 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

This stew could not be more perfect for the current weather in Kansas right now. It has been raining for two days, and it is just wonderfully comfy and cozy. Rainy days are awful if you are trying to run errands and be productive, but if you are staying inside all or most of the day? Pure bliss. Rainy days also aren't great for blog photography because no bright natural light = no bueno. But they ...

Crock Pot Moroccan Lentil Soup [Vegan]

March 3, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

I really need to make and post more Crock Pot recipes. Crock Pot meals are so much fun...they require so little work when you throw everything into the Crock Pot, and it's so awesome to have dinner all ready to go in the evening, especially when you know it's been simmering away all day! It's kind of hard to come up with Crock Pot recipes, though. I am never super confident that my cook times ...

21 Day Fix Turkey Chili

February 6, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

It’s winter. Chili is a must. There’s just something about making and eating chili during winter specifically that makes my whole body just so happy 😀. It’s a soothing process. Even more so than other stews and soups, but in a different way! Chili is such a hearty, meaty comfort food...and bonus: you are left with leftovers that get better and better in the fridge (one of my favorite parts of ...
