The Easiest Roasted Butternut Squash

November 16, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

This really is the easiest thing ever. I discovered its simplicity when I was roasting up my squash for this Butternut Mac and Cheese. I was going for the easiest and tiniest amount of prep possible since it was part of another recipe, but it ended up being SUUPPPAAA BOSS. I was close to just stopping and making it its own recipe right then and there, but I decided to wait and finish up the Mac ...

Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese

November 6, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Mac and cheese that has zero butter and flour but instead is loaded with a bunch of pureed butternut squash...GET YOU SOME. You guys...so many good things to say about this recipe. This takes a regular mac and cheese and adds such an awesome element of earthiness with a smooth, velvety texture from that butternut squash. The way you make this is similar to how you would make a regular mac and ...

One Pot Steak Fajita Pasta

November 3, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Are you proud of me for taking such a long break from one pot pastas?? I was getting redundant there a while ago and decided to take a little one-pot pasta reprive and not over do it...which...can you actually do? I mean, does one ever actually get enough of one pot pastas?? They are basically the best and most efficient dinners ever. All your stuff, pasta included, cooks in one pot. How do up ...

Pork Shoulder and Roasted Tomatillo Stew

November 1, 2017 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

And the new upcoming trendy food item of 2018 goes tooooooo...hominy! JK there's probs no way that's going to happen. I rarely see hominy used in recipes. In fact, this is only the second time that I've ever even cooked with it or tasted it. The first time was in college when I was following someone else's recipe, and it was a vegetarian chili verde. But now...oh man, the hominy bug has bit me ...

3 Cheese Quinoa Cakes

October 27, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Can you go wrong with anything that is titled "3 cheese"? You definitely can't go wrong with these quinoa cakes, I know that. They are dense, cheesy, crispy, and super filling and hearty. Eat them as a side, or pile a few on your plate for a whole meal. They are seriously delicious! This recipe was actually originally supposed to just be three cheese quinoa...just a bowl of cheesy quinoa. Which ...

Ground Turkey Shepherd’s Pie

October 26, 2017 by Annie Chesson 26 Comments

This👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼. This right here is why I am obsessed with cold weather food. I mean, is it LITERALLY possible to get more cozy and comforting than shepherd's pie?? Hearty meat and veggies coated in a light gravy topped with creamy mashed potatoes and baked?! Um, right. I didn't think so. This is like the ultimate "bring to your friend who just had a baby" or "bring to your coworker who just had ...
