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...

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...

Gluten-Free Blueberry Oatmeal Protein Pancakes

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Eating habits are genetic. Perhaps not in the way that blue eyes or a rotund big toe are genetic, but we tend to like foods that are familiar, which tend to be the foods our parents fed us growing up. Luckily for me, my mom was always a fan of whole...

When Life Calls for Comfort Food: Healthy Quinoa White Chicken Chili

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I know, it’s been a long time since I last wrote. It’s been a busy, strange time for me and I haven’t found the energy. Also, I fried my laptop, which certainly hasn’t helped. To sum up the last month, I spent two weeks in Denver, where I had my...

Paleo Cincinnati Style Turkey Chili

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

This delicious dish is somewhere between a chili and a bolognese. Or maybe it’s just a chili that I decided to serve bolognese style, but I hear that’s quite common with Cincinnati style chili. This style of chili has a thinner more sauce-like consistency than most chili con carne. It’s...

I’ve been trying to cook my way through the Jerusalem cookbook, since I have to return it at our dinner party next Sunday. I haven’t made it as far as I’d like, although I did make three recipes from the book this week alone! I may have to snap some...

Paleo Orange Sesame Chicken

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

We took our last mini-vacation of the summer last weekend, heading to Rehobeth to enjoy beaches and breweries, and of course to get an early start on celebrating Courtney’s birthday. We were actually planning to take this trip several weeks ago, but pushed it back when the opportunity arose to...

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...

Jambalaya Skewers with Andouille Sausage, Shrimp and Fresh Okra

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

One of my hopes when I signed up for my CSA was that the random deliveries would force me to seek out new recipes that experiment with vegetables I may be less familiar with. We’ve already seen this to be the case with kohlrabi. Although I’m still not convinced that anyone...

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...
