Easy Homemade Fudgsicles… with Avocado! (Vegan, Paleo)

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

This post probably should have been called “unflattering pictures of my friends eating fudgsicles, but I was worried no one would read it if I called it that. Or that all the wrong people would read it. I’m not sure what’s worse. Okay, that was kind of mean. Here’s a...

Hello Summer! Chilled Cucumber Avocado Soup with Charred Corn {Vegan}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

A lot has happened since we last talked! I took whirlwind trips to Indianapolis and Omaha, went to the 100th running of the Indy 500, ate some ridiculously good food, got a couple unfortunate sunburns, started biking to work every day, completed the sprint triathlon equivalent that was my “first” goal for...

A Burger Salad You’ll Be Eating All Summer

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

A great bun can make a burger, but more often than not it’s just a filler, doing little more than serving as a vehicle to get the burger to your mouth without the use of a fork… and taking up valuable stomach space. When out for dinner, I’ll sometimes...

Bacon Wrapped Guacamole Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I have a pet peeve that involves bacon. You’re at the store, and you pick a package up. You look at it and think, “hey, this bacon looks pretty good – look at all that meat!” But then you get home and open the package, only to find the strips have been carefully...

Salmon & Avocado Breakfast Salad {Paleo, Whole30}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

This dish falls into the category of “if it was on a restaurant menu, it would probably make me a regular.” Luckily, I don’t have to venture out to find this, which is a mighty good thing since we’re currently sitting on about 20″ of snow. Despite the snow, I...

Skinny Lime Shrimp & Avocado Salad

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

The last recipe I brought you was quite complicated. This one is not! In fact, this is different from that recipe in just about every way possible. This isn’t a dessert laden in bacon, chocolate and booze, but instead a light lunch option low in calories and carbohydrates. Because sometimes...

Mexican Style Cornbread Panzanella

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

A Simple Picnic Treat: Rye Crostini with Fresh Radishes & Avocado Mash

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I have so many awesome recipes to share with you, but sadly one of the numerous broken things in the Johannasphere is my camera. Well, the camera seems to be alright, but I can’t attach it to my computer to upload photos. I’ve ordered a card reader, but for the...

Ugly But Delicious: Flourless Double Dark Chocolate Avocado Cookies

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Have you ever made something that you intended to share with a group and had it come out so unpresentable that you decided to hold off, but then when you tasted it discovered that it’s actually really delicious and you’re kind of glad you didn’t have to share it anyways?...

Baked Avocado Chicken Parmigiana & the Inaugural Cherry Blossom 9.5 Miler

So you’re thinking, “wait a minute… I’ve been running the Cherry Blossom for years!” (or alternatively, you might be thinking “I don’t care about running… hurry up and tell me about that ridiculously delicious looking chicken!” That’s fair, but you’re going to have to be patient.) Yes, perhaps you have, but...
