Herbed Pea and Orzo Salad

July 6, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Remember that time we made an amazing herb condiment packed with basil, cilantro, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil and then folded it into pasta? OH WAIT. That happened today ????. And holy delicious, it was a big bowl of wow-it's-hot-outside-so-let's-make-easy-food-with-bright-flavors-and-be-happy-forever. You pickin' up what I'm puttin' down? Good. So...those herbs. That ...

Vegan Chili Stewed Chickpeas

June 21, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

So basically these last few weeks have been a hey-my-husband-is-finally-home-from-his-deployment-so-let's-celebrate-and-go-out-to-eat-every-three-seconds type of situation. We haven't been eating super badly (with the exception of a few several meals), but it definitely hasn't been kale salad and protein shakes over here. We went to Topeka with my sister-in-law and niece yesterday, so we ate at a ...

Soy Marinated Grilled Broccoli with Browned Peanuts

June 2, 2016 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

I have this AWESOME friend named Ceaven (it's pronounced "Kevin"). My phone likes to correct her name seven million times before it accepts that I am trying to type Ceaven. Craven. Caravan. Heaven. The corrections are endless. Anyway, she is also a teacher at the school where I work, so we eat lunch together everyday. We both loooovvveee food and cooking, so we are always trying each other's ...

Grilled Spring Veggie Pasta Salad

May 28, 2016 by Annie Chesson 6 Comments

Life be cray sometimes, amiright? Because of this fact, last week when we were all signing up for things to bring to our potluck lunch as a "school is over!" celebration at work, I thought, "Hey, self. Let's double dip here and make a post out of whatever we sign up for. Great idea! You're so clever. You should go to Target later to reward yourself." So I signed up for pasta salad and then ...

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Mustard Sauce and Charred Shallots

May 16, 2016 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

Wait. Wait, wait, wait. BRUSSELS SPROUT HATERS: I know you bout to click away from this page. Staahhppppppp. Just give me a sec. I can say with confidence that I have heard more people talk about disliking brussels sprouts than any other vegetable or food ever. Is it just me that hears that a lot? Do people around you love brussels sprouts and I'm just living in this weird, brussels-sprout-hating ...

Pineapple, Basil, and Coconut Ice Pops

May 10, 2016 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Welp, it's officially hot outside in Kansas. And I am LOVING IT. Seriously, I hate being cold. I violently hate it. It just immediately frustrates me intensely when I am freezing. Hence, winter = no bueno. Except for snow and Christmas - I like those things. Cold weather just hurts, know what I mean? Yes, hot weather can be extremely uncomfortable, but it doesn't hurt like cold weather does! Cold ...

Warm Brown Rice and Kale Salad with Goat Cheese and Almonds

April 29, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Do you ever go through food phases? For example, you are in a sandwich phase, so you end up craving and eating a sandwich at least a few times a week. A Qdoba phase (my life) where you end up eating a burrito at least once a week? Basically, by food phase, I mean any time that there is one particular food or food group that you feel like you're CONSTANTLY craving. When Seth and I were still ...

Avocado, Arugula, and Tomato Toasts with Easy Balsamic Syrup

April 26, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Sooooo....I realized once I was DONE editing these pictures for tonight's post that I literally just posted a "toast" recipe last week. Myyyyyyy bad. Gettin' a little repetitive over here. Once I had that realization, I did recall a faint memory of thinking "Okay, it's alright to post another toast recipe as long as I publish it at the end of the week so it's not back to back." Brilliant thought, ...

Oh. My. Gosh. Listen to me right now. I have instructions for you. Stand up, get in your car, drive to the nearest grocery store, buy a whole grain baguette, goat cheese, peaches, and basil, go home, and MAKE THESE RIGHT THIS SECOND. You guys. It is not often that I lose my mind this much over a recipe. Yes, I only post things on here that I love, love, looooovveee, but there are only a handful ...

Crunchy Cabbage Salad with Peanut Dressing [21 Day Fix]

April 16, 2016 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Ah, Salad. We have had a rocky relationship in the past, and I sincerely apologize for that because you are delicious. I never was a huge fan of salad until I got older. I just thought they were BO-ring. Iceberg lettuce, carrots, cukes, ranch dressing. Blah, blah, blah. Boring. FALSE! If you put the right ingredients together, salads can be the bomb.com. I could literally eat a salad every single ...
