It's a busy week day, whether you are at home or at work, and before you know it, your stomach is grumbling, you look at the clock, and it's already lunch time. You scan your mind for what you have in your fridge/what you brought to work for lunch, and - ding! - you remember that you did an awesome, wonderful thing for yourself and meal ...

Crazy Easy Three Ingredient Pimento Mac and Cheese

June 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Guess what I found in my eleven month old son's mouth this morning? I'll give you a few minutes to ponder your guess. *** *** Dog food. It was dog food. A pellet of dog food. **Cue all the vomit emojis.** He was crawling around on our rug in the living room and I saw him bring his little fist up to his face and he looked at me, clearly with something in his mouth, and I hopped up and ran ...

Summer Fresh Corn and Zucchini Chowder

June 11, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Alright, year-round soup lovers, this one's for you! The only thing "wintery" about this soup is the fact that it's soup...everything else screams summery goodness! The super fresh corn and zucchini particularly. The sweet pop of that fresh corn...you can't beat it! Frozen corn is a great substitute in those cold months when fresh isn't available, but the difference between fresh corn and frozen ...

THE Ultimate Artichokes (Instant Pot + Grilled)

June 5, 2018 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Oh...my goodness. I have peaked. It is impossible that it will ever get any better than this, so I might as well just quit blogging. It was nice meeting you and knowing you for 3+ years, byeeeee. Just kidding...but seriously...these are legitimately one of the most delicious things I've ever made or eaten. I was having a bit of an emotional experience while stuffing mass amounts of artichoke ...

Lemon Garlic Roasted Potatoes

May 23, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

We're gettin' real in here today with these roasted potatoes. If you think roasted potatoes belong in a colder, more wintery season, just HOLD THE PHONE. The lemon garlic sauce that these potatoes are tossed in before and after roasting + the fresh dill sprinkled over the potatoes at the end request you to rethink your position on non-summer roasted potatoes. Here's the deal with spring/summer ...

Watermelon Salsa

May 21, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

One million percent inspiration for this recipe goes to my bestie, Megan. I have two AMAZING best friends that I've known since I could barely read (aka forever), and to this day they are still two of my favorite people in the entire world. More family than friends at this point. Anyway, they both live in North Carolina, so we try and visit each other whenever we can. Recently, I went there and we ...

Golden Cauliflower Soup with Rice

May 14, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

I really didn't consciously intend to have two cauliflower recipes in a row...it seems a bit redundant...but you can forgive me, right? Especially when I bring you this delicious soup that is loaded up with roasted cauliflower, some russet potato, leek, garlic, and turmeric? Ima go with yes, you forgive me. This soup is pure comfort.
