Pumpkin Cashew Chicken Curry with Coconut Sticky “Rice”

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I’ve had all the ingredients to make this recipe for a couple of weeks now, but keep finding myself with way more leftovers than expected (never something you’ll hear me complain about!) and putting it off. However, on Sunday night I finally depleted the prepared contents of my fridge and...

Pinch Me, It’s Paleo! A Healthy Take on McDonald’s Shamrock Shake

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! What’s the first thing you notice when you look at these pictures? Is it the pair of delicious, homemade Shamrock Shakes that I made us for breakfast? Or perhaps the snowy background behind them. Thats right, it’s March 17th and we have yet another snow day....

Buffalo Chicken and Spaghetti Squash Egg Bake {Whole30}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

When I made this Sunday night, baked it and promptly covered it and stuck it in the fridge, Courtney’s face dropped. “You mean, we’re not going to eat that right now?” “No, this is my breakfast for the week.” “That’s breakfast? But I want to eat it right now....

Paleo Salmon Cakes Over an Asian Style Cobb Salad

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Salmon cakes in the morning, salmon cakes in the evening, salmon cakes at suppertime! Sorry, Bagel Bites, for any copyright infringement, but that is quite literally how often I have been eating these salmon cakes. And no, I’m not sick of ’em! They are so good, yet so different, depending...

Chicken Avocado Soup {Paleo}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

By 6:30 last night, I had already been cooking for two and a half hours. I’d made a Buffalo chicken spaghetti squash egg bake, roasted Brussels sprouts and salmon sweet potato cakes, but I hadn’t yet started dinner. This isn’t unusual. I often spend 2-4 hours in the kitchen on...

Crockpot Moroccan Chicken {Whole30}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Throughout the Whole30, I’ve been trying to make one meat-based crockpot meal a week. I did BBQ pulled pork, chocolate chili and now this Moroccan chicken! When you’re essentially eating meat and veggies from breakfast, lunch and dinner, it’s really nice to have a big batch around. I often even...

Skinny Tuesday Jambalaya with Shrimp, Sausage and Chicken {Whole30}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

It’s Fat Tuesday! And just as many people are just getting started with a period of self-imposed somewhat arbitrary deprivation, mine is coming to a close. I’ve (almost) made it through a full month without grains, dairy, legumes, alcohol or added sugars of any kind, an believe it or not...

Thai Turkey Zucchini Meatballs {Whole30}

Uncategorized

So I recently found a new use for my ebelskiver pan…. meatballs! After having some frustration with the first batch breaking apart a bit in the skillet, I decided to make the second batch in my ebelskiver pan. And they turned out beautifully! I’m going to guess most of you...

Paleo Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai with Shrimp {Whole30}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

The recipe I “paleofied” to make this dish was already an extremely healthy recipe, but there were quite a few non-compliant ingredients hiding in the sauce. By replacing the peanut butter with almond butter, the soy sauce with coconut aminos, and the honey with date paste, and eliminating the fish sauce...

Orange Coconut Omelette {Whole30}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Yesterday we had yet another snowstorm. Can I just say that I’m over winter? To be honest, after the holidays the only thing I like about winter is saving money on razors. But unfortunately it’s not up to me. Usually I would start a snow day by baking muffins or...
