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 ...

Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Tahini Sauce

May 11, 2018 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Roasted cauliflower and me = BFF. Do you have a good relationship with cauliflower? Have you ever roasted it? If you answer was "no" to the first question, it's highly probable it was also "no" to the second question. When you roast cauliflower in the oven for a niiiice longggg time, allowing it to get soft and deliciously toasty and caramelized, it is HEAVEN. It is probably my favorite vegetable ...

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 ...

Pecan Bacon Brussels Sprouts with Sweet Cider Vinaigrette

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, ...

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 ...

Roasted Tomato Soup

October 5, 2016 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Tomato soup and grilled cheese HAS to be one of the most comforting and delicious combinations in the entire world. Agreed? Agreed. The way I've always made tomato soup is sauteing some veggies, adding canned tomatoes, and letting that cook in a pot for however long you want. But this tomato soup uses fresh roasted tomatoes - no cans here. GET OUT OF HERE, CANS! The difference in flavor is ...
