12 Yummy Ways to Use up Thanksgiving Leftovers

November 20, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Thanksgiving = a holiday totally centered around food. And guess who's not complaining about that? 👋 I love how food-centric it is, and I think it's super fun to all get together in the kitchen and cook our faces off, preparing a super comforting, delicious meal for family and friends. And once it's all over, you feast for days on the leftovers...It is BAAEEEE. This statement may offend some ...

Bourbon Brown Sugar Glazed Ham

November 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Um, please stand by while I overcome an emotional moment while g(L)azing (get it?!) at the crunchy exterior of this ham... - - - Thank you for your patience. People, you have not lived unless this ham has been in your life. This literally takes any ham I've ever had and slaps it across the country to a land where mediocre hams are welcome, because they ARE NO LONGER WELCOME ...

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 ...

But wait...how adorbs are these?! Don't these bring you so much satisfaction just looking at them? Picture this: you are setting up your thanksgiving spread, and you have twelve of these little cuties sitting out on a serving tray, ready for someone to just grab and place next to their pile of turkey, ready to be smothered in gravy and eaten all together in one glorious bite. I love thinking of ...

Instant Pot Garlic Butter Green Beans

August 29, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

These green beans literally have a constant presence in my fridge, you guys. You can almost always find a tupperware full of them ready to be devoured at any moment. The reason = my one year old will go. to. TOWN. on these babies! He literally shoves them in his mouth by the chubby fist full. They are probs his favorite vegetable, and because they are so easy and quick to make, it seems like we ...

Pecan Bacon Brussels Sprouts with Sweet Cider Vinaigrette

April 28, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

OH MY GOSH I'm sorry I've been so MIA. I've had 8pm work days all of this week, and they continue through the end of next week because I'm helping with the play at school, and the performance is next Friday. So...basically I get home and go to bed. Just bear with me this week and next week if I seem quite absent - I promise I will be around consistently once these next few weeks are over! Now, ...

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 24, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope you are all having the most wonderful day, spending time with loved ones, not working, and eating lots and lots of yummy food! Ironically, I am not the biggest fan of Thanksgiving food, and I really don't like turkey, so eat an extra helping of everything to make up for my lacking plate ?. One reason why I love this holiday so much is because it reminds ...

Rustic Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes

November 16, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

So...Crock Pots. They are SO popular right now (hi, Pinterest!), and I think it's because there is something so satisfying about throwing some ingredients into the slow cooker, walking away, goin' aboutcho bidness, and then walking into your kitchen several hours later with a meal/side that is ready to go! I understand the love. I feel the love. Me and my Crock Pot are buds, buuttt I will say ...
