Slow Cooker Moroccan Chicken with Apricots and Almonds

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

It’s getting a bit late in the season for slow cooker recipes. In fact as I was walking back from the organic market where I had gone to buy dried apricots, I smelled the air and wished I’d also bought a steak to throw on the grill instead. By the time...

The Rock Would Approve: Honey Porter Glazed Cod Fillets

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

When I think “cod” I generally think fish and chips. Apparently when Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson thinks about cod, he thinks breakfast lunch and dinner. The internet was abuzz last week about just how much cod the Rock eats. It was ironic timing that my friend Jeanette posted this humerous...

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...

The Start of Race Season & Sweet Ginger Shrimp with Dill and Quinoa

Uncategorized

I ran my first race of the season yesterday afternoon, only because a snow storm gave me a temporary pardon on the Georgetown 10-miler a couple weeks back. It’s a good thing it did, because I don’t think I would have been ready to run back-to-back ten milers (one on...

Chipotle-Glazed Roast Chicken with Sweet Potatoes

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

With little time on my hands these days, having something I can easily pop in the microwave is key. That way I can eat at my desk and avoid spending unnecessary money in the cafeteria… or at Sweet Green, which I will admit I’ve been frequently as of late. When...

Paleo Spaghetti Squash Hawaiian Pizza Pie

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

When I saw this I knew I had to make it, given my childhood history with Hawaiian pizza and my current obsession with spaghetti squash. And honestly, it was pretty good, but didn’t excite me the way that little pile of ham and pineapple did as a kid. But then again,...

Spiced Turkey Lasagna with Butternut Squash Noodles (+Beware of Mandolines!)

Adventures of a Wannabe Foodie

I really loved this recipe. What I don’t really love? Mandolines. Those things are straight-up dangerous. Seriously, they need to come with dexterity checks and “you will at some point lose a sizable chunk of your finger” warnings. I posted this picture on Facebook (because I obviously have no...

Cranberry, Feta and Pecan Stuffed Chicken

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

The cranberry sauce is officially the last Thanksgiving leftover still standing. Unless Courtney has something hoarded in a backpack/desk drawer/under the seat of our car. Which wouldn’t be the first time. But the cranberry sauce is the last that will be put to good use. Put to such very good...

Butternut Squash & Tahini Soup (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

As I write this, the last piece of produce from my CSA sits roasting in the oven. A small sugar pumpkin that I’ve struggled to eat because it’s just so dang cute! Instead, it’s been sitting as a center piece on our dining room table. But tomorrow, it’s becoming part...

Blueberry Quinoa Cornbread {Leftovers Club}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

As someone who rarely bakes, I usually look forward to Leftovers Club as an excuse to experiment with some of the many sweet confections on my evergrowing to-do list. This time however, I found myself thinking “oh no, more sweets!” Between Friendsgivings and Thanksgivings and holiday happy hours, having brownies or...
