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 ...

Grilled Veggie Tacos with Cilantro Lime Yogurt

June 12, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Okay so here’s the thing, I am not vegetarian. I eat meat a decent amount. And I also love tacos. Now that we have all that covered, these are MY FAVORITE tacos ever. And, like I said, I love tacos. Love. These take the cake, fam - no meat and all! The lightly charred tortillas. The simple avocado mash at the base. The medley of perfectly grilled veggies that have the delicious smokey, charred ...

Turkey and Black Bean Bell Pepper “Nachos”

April 5, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Picture this: you are craving nachos (because who doesn't on the daily?), but you don't necessarily want to load up on a bunch of fried tortilla chips and make yourself feel less than awesome for the rest of the evening. So instead, you cook up a delicious nacho filling with ground turkey, black beans, and taco seasoning. And then you take that heavenly mixture and load it into some lightly ...

Lentil Curry with a Sunny Side Up Egg

April 3, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Currrryyyyyy. Come to me with all your cozy, warm, spiced goodness. COME TO ME. Curry is one of my all time favorite foods! Usually that's more along the lines of Thai curry, and this one is more of an Indian curry, but still - regardless of what type of curry deliciousness is happening in my bowl, I am here for it. Usually I make curry with just veggies and (usually) chicken with a coconut ...

Chicken Marinara Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Boats

March 20, 2019 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

The first time I ever had spaghetti squash was when Seth and I did Whole 30 last year. Since you aren't allowed to have any type of actual pasta, we were always making things like zoodles, sweet potato noodles, or spaghetti squash. I was skeptical the first time I tried to roast a spaghetti squash, but I loved it! It's such a yummy and satisfying meal. Does it taste like pasta? Nope. ...

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 ...
