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...

Beetroot Crust Pizza with Caramelized Onions, Caramelized Beets, Goat Cheese and Kale

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I know I’ve been M.I.A. lately, but the unfortunate reality is that when I get really busy, the blog is one of the first things to go. Whereas in the past my “busyness” has been self-induced by a tendency toward overcommitment and social butterfly syndrome, having started the second course...

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...

Whole Wheat Spaghetti in a Garlic White Wine Sauce with Spinach, Walnuts, Fresh Figs and Goat Cheese

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

A couple of week’s back I was perusing Buzz Feed (a frequent activity during the month of August) when I came across “27 Delicious Ways to Eat Fresh Figs.” How they narrowed the approximately 1,576,222 delicious ways to eat fresh figs down to only twenty-seven is beyond me, but some...

Brunch on the Fly: Rosemary, Prosciutto and Goat Cheese Egg Bake

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

A few weeks ago, I invited a number of friends over for brunch on a whim, as I often do. Although I asked folks to bring a dish to share and/or a bottle of bubbly, I know my friends well enough to know that if I didn’t make something, we’d...

These Are All of My Favorite Things: Shrimp, Bacon and Figs with Goat Cheese Quinoa and Fig Balsamic

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

You know the old classic song from the Sound of Music, “These are a few of my Favorite Things”? I’m pretty sure it was written about this dish. And that it was originally called “These are all of my Favorite Things.” No, but really. Bacon. Figs. Quinoa. Goat Cheese. Shrimp. Does...

Honey & Goat Cheese Stuffed “Hinny” Bran Muffins

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Sometimes I fear my inability to avoid peer pressure. I just can’t say no. Luckily this manifests itself in response to invitations to join book clubs, go on road trips and sign up for races rather than solicitations for hard drugs, ponzi schemes and sex. Regardless, a lovely group of...

Spring Vegetable Lasagna with Goat Cheese and Pesto

I originally bookmarked this recipe while trolling for vegetarian month recipes, but it’s a far better fit for the first day of Spring! It’s colorful, healthy and packed with fresh veggies. Oh, and it’s also delicious. I should go ahead and add that it wins Week 11 favorite. Enjoy! Spring...
