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...

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...

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Some recipes I see and immediately know I’m going to love. But that doesn’t always mean I get around to making it. Take this recipe for instance. I “pinned” it six months ago, and finally got around to making it on Monday. That is six months without this recipe in my life that...

Thai Green Curry Turkey and Zucchini Meatloaf

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

After two months with no migraines, I’ve now had four this week. I don’t know what it’s about, but it’s really getting old! After the race last weekend, I decided I wanted to sign up for the GW Parkway 10-miler on Sunday. Sadly though, it’s sold out and I’ve had...
