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...

Garlicky Spanakopita Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

There was no dipping my toes into the pool of reality last week. No, siree – I dove back in head first. Last Monday wasn’t just my first day back to work after over two weeks of vacation, but also my first day back in graduate school after a four...

Pecan Crusted Chicken with Cranberry Goat Cheese Sauce

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I have another festive recipe for you all to enjoy, although this one is healthy enough to be a regular weekday meal! Instead of breading the chicken, you coat it in plain yogurt (calcium! protein!) and roll it in a mixture of rosemary and ground pecans (healthy fats!) I love any recipe...

Paleo Tuna Sushirrito {Sushi Burritos at home!}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I’ve developed a bit of a love affair with a place up the street from my work called Buredo. They make sushi burritos that are absolutely to die for. Because I try really hard to bring my own lunch instead of eating out, I’ve been using every ounce of will-power...

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...

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...

Tahini & Red Curry Shrimp with Spaghetti Squash

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I’ll take a break in the series of amazing desserts I have to share with you for this important PSA: spaghetti squash is still amazing! Seriously. I think I could sit down with a spaghetti squash and a bottle of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! and happily call it dinner....

Spinach Salad with Roasted Veggies & Chicken with Smoky Tomato Vinaigrette

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

This roasted veggie salad is the perfect way to make use of your late summer bounty. Or your bounty from any part of the summer, really, as what vegetables you roast is totally up to you! I liked the tomato vinaigrette so much that right after dinner, I made another...

Balsamic Glazed Steak Rolls

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Sometimes you just want some sautéed vegetables for dinner. Wrapped with steak. Sorry my veggie friends, this recipe is not for you. Although you kind of want it, don’t you? This is the kind of steak dish that can seduce a vegetarian. Trust me, I have this from an inside...

Mexican Style Cornbread Panzanella

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

“I like these new beefed up salads you’ve been making.” That was Courtney’s response to panzanella, which would more accurately described as “breaded up.” Panzanella is a Tuscan dish, traditionally composed of stale bread, tomatoes and onions and dressed in oil and vinegar. This is a very non-traditional panzanella, incorporating corn...
