Plantain Frittata with Cajun Chicken Sausage

Cooking Time: 90 minutes

Uncategorized

Outside of the international cuisine, I’ve not been sharing many recipes in this space as of late. I don’t see a lot of value add to sharing my version of something you can find elsewhere, so unless I a) made somewhat substantial modifications to the recipe and b) plan to...

Vegan Golden Milk Overnight Oats {featuring turmeric, ginger, cardamom and honey}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I’ve been on an overnight oats kick lately. When it’s 90 degrees and humid and your air conditioning unit has decided to completely die, it’s hard to want something warm in the morning. Note to self: chill coffee for tomorrow morning. There are a thousand ways to make overnight oats,...

Savory Oatmeal with Kale, Avocado, Black Beans & Smoky Maple Tempeh Bacon

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

This savory oatmeal was one of those recipes that I saw and immediately knew I must make. What I didn’t know is just how much I’d love it. I’ve only made savory oatmeal once before and honestly, I recall not really caring for it and never making it again. I’m not too sure...

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnamon Buns with Cereal Milk Icing

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

When I was a little girl I used to love the Pillsbury cinnamon buns that came in a tube. I only ever ate them at my Grandparent’s house, but sometimes I would eat two or three with dinner. I never questioned why we were eating cinnamon rolls with dinner, but I’m pretty...

Savory Asparagus & Gruyère Bread Pudding

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

It’s officially spring, but it sure doesn’t feel like it! We’ve had a cold, rainy couple of days in the District, but sunshine does appear to be on the horizon. This savory asparagus bread pudding is perfect for early spring. Layered with challah bread and cheese, it’s still heavy enough...

Banana & Berry Coconut Flour Paleo Pancakes

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Sundays are a good day for pancakes. On Saturdays, a protein bar has to do since we are usually hustling off to do a double (spin, chisel) at the gym starting at 9:00am. But Sundays, we usually take as our rest day leaving time to make a real breakfast. This morning...

Turkey Breakfast Meatloaf {Whole30}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

By last week, my third week of Whole30, I found myself feeling a little “meated out.” And seriously, should that have come as a surprise when I was literally eating meatloaf for breakfast and leftover Moroccan chicken every other meal? This is exactly why the Whole30 requires thoughtful meal planning. You have...

Twice Baked Breakfast Sweet Potatoes {Whole30, Day 3}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Today is day 3 of my Whole30. So far it has been literally zero challenge. This is pretty much how I like to eat most of the time anyways, so without major behavior change this really just isn’t difficult for me. As you can see, the meals are huge and delicious...

Fig, Tahini & Honey Overnight Oats

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

It’s fig season! I don’t think I was big on fresh figs until one summer when I was visiting my dad in southern Spain and tried the figs he picked fresh of the tree in their yard. Every afternoon, there’d be a pile on the patio table where later (much...

Braised Apple-Plantain Brussels Sprout Breakfast Skillet

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Brussels sprouts are routinely a part of breakfasts around here, but until recently they’d been a side show rather than the main attraction. This dish changed that. Cooked with apples, plantains and caramelized red onions, it’s just a little bit sweet. Top with a fried egg (or two!) and serve with...
