Spicy Chipotle Chickpea Burrito Bowls

July 17, 2015 by Annie Chesson 46 Comments

If I had unlimited money and could eat 10,000 calories a day without gaining a pound, I would literally eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day at Chipotle or Qdoba. Let me describe my obsession to you with one story (I might have told this before....ALL MY STORIES ARE STARTING TO RUN TOGETHER). I'm going to preface for two seconds...literally every time we went out to eat in Georgia, ...

Crispy Garlic Smashed Potatoes

July 15, 2015 by Annie Chesson 28 Comments

Ah, crispy, garlic-y, salty, potato-y goodness. Can I just eat you every day for the rest of my life? Seriously though...who in the world doesn't love potatoes? (Now I am talking to you...not the food.) I have never met someone who doesn't...even if you aren't a "meat and potatoes" kind of person, I feel like you still love them. And if you are saying no to this question you fall into one of ...

2 Ingredient, 5 Minute Strawberry Frozen “Yogurt”

June 23, 2015 by Annie Chesson 34 Comments

Right now my weather app says it is 96 degrees outside but feels like 106. My first question is, how can they measure how hot it "feels?" Seriously. How? I guess I don't have a second question. The point is...it's hot. Which is why this cold, fresh, healthy frozen yogurt is so perfect right now! This recipe today was originally supposed to be chocolate cashew butter. Why did I not post ...

Cilantro Cashew Pesto

May 28, 2015 by Annie Chesson 41 Comments

There is this restaurant in Charlotte called Cowfish, and it is one of my top three favorite restaurants that I have ever eaten at EVER. It is soooo so so so soooooooo SO good. The point of the restaurant is the fusion between burgers and sushi - hence the name...Cowfish. So aaaanyway, there is this one burgushi (their sushi/burger combo rolls) called the Taste Explosion that has this cilantro ...

Perfect Guacamole

May 25, 2015 by Annie Chesson 32 Comments

Even my guacamole-hating husband loved this. So I'm just sayin'...it's pretty tasty. I actually grew up eating guacamole that uses the little seasoning packet as the only flavor base - just avocados and the guacamole packet. Mash and eat. I still don't mind eating guacamole that way...I don't discriminate. I love guac in all forms. However, I will say that it is no match for this scratch made ...

Asian Cucumber “Noodles”

May 18, 2015 by Annie Chesson 35 Comments

These cucumber noodles have been on my list of recipes I want to create for my blog since I started The Garlic Diaries back in September! They have been on my mind for a while now - the idea of cucumber "noodles" just sounded so light and refreshing to me. Not to mention healthy. And pretty. And crunchy... In hindsight, I'm glad I waited so long to actually make these because now the weather is ...

One Pot Vegan Lentil Chili

April 27, 2015 by Annie Chesson 32 Comments

Chili? In April? I know...it's not exactly your typical spring dish, but like I mentioned with my Chicken and Rice Soup a few weeks ago, I'm an all year round soup/stew/chili eater. If that's not you, bookmark this delicious recipe and save it for October! Well I was suppooooosed to write this post yesterday, but Seth and I traveled to Savannah, GA this weekend to photograph our friends' ...

Easy Veggie Lo Mein

April 21, 2015 by Annie Chesson 28 Comments

Lo Mein is probably my favorite dish to get when I go out to a Chinese restaurant. Sometimes I branch out and get something different, but whenever I do I am secretly missing my traditional Lo Mein order every time :). I'm not sure why I waited for so long to create my own Lo Mein recipe at home, but I am so happy we decided to give it a try. It was a huge hit! The tender veggies, bold, ...

Frozen Strawberry Lemonade

April 10, 2015 by Annie Chesson 22 Comments

Lemonade is one of those things that automatically brings the word "refreshing" to my mind. It's the perfect drink for spring and summer, and is made even more perfect (if that's possible) by adding in a box of pureed strawberries. Strawberries, in my opinion, are one of the best things about spring. They are in season right now so they are perfectly juicy and sweet - a perfect contrast to the ...

Healthy Chocolate Pudding with Almond, Graham Cracker Crumb

April 3, 2015 by Annie Chesson 22 Comments

Ahh, healthy desserts. There is nothing better than indulging in a rich, decadent dessert that you can eat completely guilt free. Especially when it's chocolate. Because chocolate is pretty much the best thing ever. As you can see here, here, here, here, and here, I'm pretty partial to chocolate... Whoops. That's a lot of chocolate recipes. I'm not even ashamed. Especially when they are super ...
