Coconut Crusted Chicken Fingers with Honey Dijon Dipping Sauce

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Ever get a craving for chicken McNuggets? No? Mmm, yeah… me either. Technically speaking it was a craving for honey dipping sauce that actually sparked the making of this recipe. When I was a kid, my Happy Meal go-tos were a cheeseburger or McNuggets. Now I find nothing less appealing than...

Paleo Veggie Noodle Turkey Lasagna

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I’m not so sure what to call this dish. It was born out of my Hungry Harvest box, that’s for sure. I guess it’s one part lasagna, one part pastelón, one part veggie casserole… while incorporating turkey chili. Regardless, it’s one part healthy, one part delicious, and a lot of parts...

Paleo Peaches & Cream Chicken Salad

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I feel I need to confess that when I hear “peaches and cream” the raunchy R&B song from the early 2000’s start’s playing in my head. I need it cause you know that I’m a fiend. Gettin’ freaky in my Bentley limousine. It’s even better when it’s with ice cream....

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...

Roasted Salmon with Herbed Beet Puree and Smoky Kale Chips

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

When I set out to select a Valentine’s Day menu, this recipe naturally came to the top of my list. Having literally just finished a Whole30 the day before Valentine’s Day, I was eager to show off how delicious Whole30 recipes are (this one is 100% compliant!). Plus, the pink beet puree made it...

Cashew Cauliflower Soup with Herbed Popcorn

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I think I originally stumbled upon this recipe while searching for something similar to the popcorn soup served at Rose’s Luxury. And let me tell you, this is not that soup! That soup is rich and buttery with big chunks of lobster. This soup is hearty yet light, and 100% vegan....

Tandoori Chicken with Curried Pineapple Cauliflower Rice {Whole30}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I never was a big fan of white rice to begin with, but I can genuinely say I now prefer the cauliflower version. There are so many ways to spice it up (literally!) and this one has got to be one of my favorite. Curry, raisins, almonds, pineapple… it’s just...

Raw Vegan Dark Chocolate Covered Raspberry Cream Bars, Won’t You Be My Valentine?

Uncategorized

I have lots to share with you from our Valentine’s Day feast, but I’m a big proponent of starting with dessert. My Grandad used to tell me that you should eat your favorite thing first, because that’s when your taste buds are freshest. His advice was specifically regarding the top...

Paleo Chicken Curry with Cauliflower & Sweet Potato with a side of stir-crazy {Whole30}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Thank goodness we’re going back to work today because I am so stir-crazy. Because we can pretty much walk anywhere, we weren’t even that confined by the storm (I would actually go crazy being snowed-in in the suburbs, even if I was going crazy in my great big home with a great big yard)....

Zucchini, Sausage & Pesto Roll Ups {Whole30}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Apparently we’re about to be pummeled with snow. As last night’s one inch preview if proof of, it doesn’t take a whole lot to cripple D.C. But from the sounds of it, the storm coming this weekend is the real deal. Essentially the forecast for this weekend is: don’t plan...
