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 ...

April 28, 2020 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Grilled Spring Veggie Panzanella - If you are going to make ONE dish this entire spring season, make it this panzanella! This is seriously my favorite salad - period. So good! TheGarlicDiaries.com

If you make ONE new thing this entire spring and summer, it needs to be this salad. I am telling you guys, I cannot emphasize enough how good this is - it is my all time favorite salad, and I absolutely cannot get enough of it! If you aren't familiar with panzanella, it's basically bread salad. Think salad SUPER heavy on the croutons, but the croutons are a little bigger, softer, and chewier ...

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 ...

Cauliflower Gnocchi with Garlic Brown Butter

October 2, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Cauliflower Gnocchi - Skip the potatoes and use cauliflower in your gnocchi instead! It’s healthier, just as yummy, and fun to make! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Cauliflower gnocchi is ALL THE RAGE right now. If I had a dime for every Trader Joe's cauliflower gnocchi post I've seen on Insta, I could retire next week. So what's the hype about? Allow me to explain. By ricing cauliflower, steaming it, and then squeezing alllllll the moisture out, you have a substance similar to a cooked potato, which means you can make gnocchi in a much lighter way that ...

Love. These take the cake, fam - no meat and all! The lightly charred tortillas. The simple avocado mash at the base.
