Skinny Lime Shrimp & Avocado Salad

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

The last recipe I brought you was quite complicated. This one is not! In fact, this is different from that recipe in just about every way possible. This isn’t a dessert laden in bacon, chocolate and booze, but instead a light lunch option low in calories and carbohydrates. Because sometimes...

These summer squash fritters were somewhat of a happy accident. Perhaps not the recipe itself, but that they came to be in the first place. I’d planned to make shredded sweet potato hash browns to serve with our burgers, but when I went to fetch the sweet potato I found...

Braised Apple-Plantain Brussels Sprout Breakfast Skillet

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Brussels sprouts are routinely a part of breakfasts around here, but until recently they’d been a side show rather than the main attraction. This dish changed that. Cooked with apples, plantains and caramelized red onions, it’s just a little bit sweet. Top with a fried egg (or two!) and serve with...
