Vegan Golden Milk Overnight Oats {featuring turmeric, ginger, cardamom and honey}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I’ve been on an overnight oats kick lately. When it’s 90 degrees and humid and your air conditioning unit has decided to completely die, it’s hard to want something warm in the morning. Note to self: chill coffee for tomorrow morning. There are a thousand ways to make overnight oats,...

Savory Oatmeal with Kale, Avocado, Black Beans & Smoky Maple Tempeh Bacon

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

This savory oatmeal was one of those recipes that I saw and immediately knew I must make. What I didn’t know is just how much I’d love it. I’ve only made savory oatmeal once before and honestly, I recall not really caring for it and never making it again. I’m not too sure...

Fig, Tahini & Honey Overnight Oats

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

It’s fig season! I don’t think I was big on fresh figs until one summer when I was visiting my dad in southern Spain and tried the figs he picked fresh of the tree in their yard. Every afternoon, there’d be a pile on the patio table where later (much...

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

These oats are so pretty to look at that I started putting this post together last night and decided to make a batch for this morning. Which I am eating as I type. I did this while so full from Thai-Xing that I literally had difficulty breathing, let alone thinking...

Seersucker Oats

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Summer has most definitely arrived in D.C., with no regard for the fact that we’ve yet had the chance to enjoy spring. Yesterday we hit a high of 90, and today it’s a balmy 85. I know there are parts of the country that would hardly call this week summer...

My First Take on Savory Oats

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I’ve been intrigued for some time by the idea of savory oats, but a woman set in her ways I had yet to give it a whirl. Until yesterday that is, when the need to use up a quite unusual combination of ingredients threatening to rot away in my fridge...

Peanut Butter Jelly Time

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

More people visited my page yesterday than ever before. It turns out that perhaps pit bull discrimination is more interesting than my latest use for quinoa. I talked to Lila about it. I told her that she was more popular than any of my recipes, that people cared that she was misunderstood. She looked...

A Excellent Argument for Resourcefulness: Lasagna Stuffed Pizza and Oatmeal Elvis cookies

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Lots of action last night in the kitchen here at the Pink Palace. I very rarely waste food; even my nearest and dearest are often disgusted by my standards re: eat vs. throw away. A major Trader Joe’s spree over the weekend and not many nights at home have meant...
