Paleo Thai Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

If it were Summer year round, I most definitely would not be a size 2. Summer, that little temptress, she has a way of disrupting my good habits. It’s fun for certain, but certainly not sustainable. Now that Summer is pretty much over, I’m really trying to get back into...

Crock Pot Honey Garlic Chicken with Blackberry Jam

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

We’ve been doing a lot of hosting as of late, even for Messy Kitchen standards. It’s hard to keep up. I don’t remember the last time my kitchen was clean for more than a fleeting second. I made this honey garlic chicken for my book club last week. It’s not...

Fig, Goat Cheese, Proscuitto and Pistachio Stuffed Chicken with Fig Balsamic Gastrique

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Summer is straight up flying by. I kind of hate it. I usually love Fall, but I’m pretty stressed out about this particular Fall. Can’t we just make the Summer last forever? I’ll even stop complaining about big hair, I promise! We’ve been keeping particularly busy, which I’m sure has...

Lemon Chicken with Summer Squash and Goat Cheese

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I’ve had a head cold for well over a week now. First world problem I know, but it’s Summertime and this is getting real old. I finally stayed home from work today, something I never do, but I really must get better before our trip this weekend. Anyways, I’m reminded...

Healthy Asian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I went the entire Fourth of July weekend without having a single hot dog. Does that make me a little less American? I think it might. Regardless, what I did have – beer, brunch and plenty of pie – left me more than happy to accept the challenge of finishing...

Layered Greek-Style Chickpea Salad with Pesto Vinaigrette

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I’m superbly cranky today for no particularly good reason. Yesterday, I should have been cranky; it was Monday, I locked myself out of the house, my phone wouldn’t work and I couldn’t leave my desk all day. But I seem to have saved the crank for today. It could be...

Sweet Italian Sausage Lasagna with Cauliflower Noodles {Paleo Optional}

Uncategorized

On Monday night as the rest of the country was watching team USA beat Ghana, I was making cauliflower lasagna noodles. Is that right there the lamest statement you’ve ever heard? Yeah, I thought so. But I knew that if I waited until the end of the game to get...

Super Simple Honey Mustard Chicken

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

In the summertime, I never want to spend much time in the kitchen. This is in part because I’m rarely ever home, but also because it’s so freakin’ hot (central air my @$$!). It’s nice to have some healthy, tasty options that require just a couple minutes of kitchen time. ...

Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

For four weeks every four years, America actually cares about soccer (and actually uses the word futbol). Those four weeks are upon us. Patriotism has spiked through the roof on Facebook in the good ol’ US of A, where sports really bring it out of us. I was trying really...
