Avocado Chimichurri

June 4, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I mean, on a scale of one to ten, how acceptable is it to slather avocado chimichurri all over your body like lotion? A hard six? I'll take it. This chimichurri is THE actual best. We have had it twice on grilled flank steak and once on roasted potatoes, and all times it was life giving. Like...I-want-to-eat-this-straight-from-the-bowl-with-a-spoon level of life giving. It's not only THE ...

15 Minute Mango Salsa

May 22, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

What is better than a perfect bowl of fresh, ripe mango salsa? Nothing, you say? You would be THE MOST correct. It's fruity, it's sweet, it's tangy, it's got some spice from the jalapeno, bite from the red onion, and freshness from the cilantro. Throw it on top of grilled chicken, fish, pork, grass clippings...wait, probably not...but maybe? This mango salsa takes like two seconds to make ...

Keto Sushi (paleo, whole 30)

May 6, 2019 by Annie Chesson 3 Comments

Sushi is my favorite food. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast sushi? Someone needs to get ON THAT asap. Cause I'd be so down! I had it last night for dinner - just the kind they sell pre-made at the grocery store. See? I don't need anything fancy. I don't discriminate...give me sushi in any form and I'll love you forever. Since doing keto (and when we were doing Whole ...

May 1, 2019 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Is it just me, or are buffalo wings the life of every party? It's not uncommon for me to crave something smothered in buffalo sauce daily weekly. Ultra crispy crunchy buffalo wings are one of my fave things in the delicious world of food! But - game changer - have you ever tried buffalo shrimp? You've still got the crispy crunchy, you've still got the buffalo flavor, but instead of chicken ...

Crispy Instant Pot Pork Belly (Keto, Paleo, Whole 30)

April 15, 2019 by Annie Chesson 39 Comments

Um, excuse me - hello, beautiful. You are perfection in every sense of the word. You are absurdly crispy on top, fall-apart moist and juicy in the middle, and full of delicious, fatty goodness. I AM IN LOVE. I have only every eaten pork belly in super fancy restaurant situations, so I figured it would be crazy expensive to buy at the store.

Whole Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Reduction

April 10, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Brussels sprouts are the most underrated vegetable in the world. People have been brainwashed by their grandparents and parents boiling them to the consistency of absolute mush and then dumping them on their plate and force feeding them mushy globs of questionable smelling sprouts. BUT - listen, these poor brussels sprouts have just been wildly misunderstood. Because when cooked correctly and ...

Everyone, meet the mother of all salads. Mother of all salads, meet everyone. This salad covers every base you could ever dream of a salad covering! We've got the rich meatiness from the salmon, the hearty, satisfying roasted veggies, the toasty crunch from the almonds, and the peppery bite from the arugula.

At this point, I've had my Instant Pot for a year + a few months, and I am still SO OBSESSED. It is one HUNDO P my favorite kitchen item, and I get excited when I think of ways to use it.
