2 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls

April 26, 2021 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

2 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls - These healthy treats are SO easy to make, only require 2 ingredients, and satiate that sweet tooth in the best way.

When we did our first round of Whole 30 years ago, I found out I was pregnant about half way through, and from the second I become pregnant to the second my babies are born, I crave sweets like NOBODY'S BUSINESS. But on Whole 30 you can't have sweets. We were at the grocery store one week, and I found these things called date rolls - only ingredients were unsweetened coconut and dates, which ...

Date Night Creamy Roasted Vegetable Risotto

November 12, 2020 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Date Night Creamy Roasted Vegetable Risotto - The risotto is creamy and loaded with flavor, there’s a tender, roasted vegetable in every bite, and the combination of everything is a date night dream. Bonus - it’s dairy free! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Date-night-ins are wonderful for a few reasons: If you have kids, getting a babysitter can be expensive and a little complicated. I know that for us - especially now that we hvae 3 kids, one of which is still super young - we don't leave a babysitter to handle bedtime on her own. Less because we are worried about the kids being okay and more because I don't really want to strap a solo ...

Loaded Vegetable and Barley Soup

March 5, 2020 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Loaded Vegetable Barley Soup - This hearty vegetable soup is filling and satisfying, but so healthy and easy to make! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Soup season is almost over, people! I have mixed feelings about this. I absolutely love fall and winter food - it is my fave. BUT - I prefer warm weather itself DEEPLY over cold weather. I am absolutely itching for it to be warm outside so we can go do alllllll the things. I've become so much more of an outside person since I've had kids because they love being outside SO much. It makes me ...

Chopped Cauliflower Salad - Tender roasted cauliflower diced up and tossed with celery, almonds, and fennel and drizzled with a delicious lemon vinaigrette! Such a hearty and delicious salad that’s perfect for fall! TheGarlicDiaries.com

There's something so fun and satisfying about a salad without any greens! They are super extra hearty, and it's like a bowl full of JUST the toppings (which are the best part anyway, right?!).

Avocado Chimichurri

June 4, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I mean, on a scale of one to ten, how acceptable is it to slather avocado chimichurri all over your body like lotion? A hard six? I'll take it. This chimichurri is THE actual best. We have had it twice on grilled flank steak and once on roasted potatoes, and all times it was life giving. Like...I-want-to-eat-this-straight-from-the-bowl-with-a-spoon level of life giving. It's not only THE ...

Creamy, Dairy Free Alfredo Sauce (whole 30, paleo)

May 29, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I don't know about you, but when I am not "allowed" to have something food related, my brain is automatically like...hey, you know what I want super bad? That. It's like craving Chik-fil-a on Sunday...I know I can't have it so it's automatically what I want. Right now we are trying to eat (mostly) dairy free. My hubbs is a little lactose intolerant so we are just trying to avoid it when we ...

15 Minute Mango Salsa

May 22, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

What is better than a perfect bowl of fresh, ripe mango salsa? Nothing, you say? You would be THE MOST correct. It's fruity, it's sweet, it's tangy, it's got some spice from the jalapeno, bite from the red onion, and freshness from the cilantro. Throw it on top of grilled chicken, fish, pork, grass clippings...wait, probably not...but maybe? This mango salsa takes like two seconds to make ...
