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 ...

Smashed Chickpea and Avocado

May 9, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Aaaaand welcome to my obsession. My love language. My crack = ^^^^. I made this recipe FOR-EVER go, before my Instant Pot series and before Whole 30, so it has taken me this long to actually get around to posting it because I had to finish those two things out first. Now that I am done with my Instant Pot series and done with my Whole 30 recipes, this delicious little baby FINALLY has its time in ...

Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries

March 19, 2018 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

There is a mythical, mysterious creature out there called the "crispy baked sweet potato fry." I was skeptical of its existence for a very long time after trying unsuccessful recipe after unsuccessful recipe. I finally decided that a crispy sweet potato fry is a nice theory but sadly is impossible to find and have for myself. Kind of like a unicorn. HOWEVER - my husband made sweet potato fries a ...

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 ...

Creamy Vegan Cashew Curry Sauce

March 2, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Hold the phone, I just died. THIS SAUCE GIVES ME ALL THE FEELS. It is... Impossibly creamy Rich Loaded with warm, spiced curry flavor Literally delicious on anything and everything your mind can fathom pouring it on Here's the thing - I enjoy dairy a lot. I like the richness that cream, milk, and cheese brings to a dish. So I was thinking that part of paleo and Whole 30 would be a ...

One Pot Smoky Lentil Stew

January 17, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Do you want to know what happened in Kansas today? They closed schools because of EXTREME COLD. Like...no snow...no ice...no dangerous driving conditions...just cold weather. The concern is that they don't want kids waiting outside for the buses when it's like negative ten degrees. So hopefully that gives you a nice frigid visual of the  weather outside right now. Growing up in North Carolina ...

Hot Cheesy Corn Dip

January 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Okay, I mean...let's just be real with each other for a second. Is there anyone out there who doesn't have an emotionally intimate moment with their computer screen when they hear words like hot+cheesy+corn+dip in one title? How could this dip possibly not be the most delicious chip topper ever when it's cheesy, creamy, and loaded with sweet kernels of corn? If I'm being honest, I could go to TOWN ...

Chickpeas are my new food obsession. They are like these tender and hearty morsels of yumminess, and they have way better flavor and texture than other beans - less mushy, more tasty!

Meanwhile, the ...

Kindly do me a favor and throw away - no, burn - every other soup recipe you've ever made and MAKE THIS AND ONLY THIS FOREVER. I'm fo reals. It's the only soup you'll ever need. We struck gold here, people.

Hello, my name is Annie, and I am incompetent when it comes to baking. I rarely post desserts on here because I've been known to ruin a BOXED BROWNIE mix. Aka I can't bake. Hence why the first dessert I've posted on here in I don't know how long is literally melted chocolate that you spread onto a baking sheet...holllaaahhhhh - this is my kind of homemade dessert!
