Crunchy Chicken Plantain Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing

The Cherry Blossom 10-Miler yesterday went better than expected. Of the three years I’ve run the course (2011, 2012, 2014), yesterday was the slowest I’ve ever run it (1:26:26, an 8:39 pace), a full 5 minutes 11 seconds slower than my PR in 2012. I’m going to blame that on...

Homemade Fig Newtons {Leftovers Club!}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

When I was little, I would have felt a bit ripped off if you offered me a cookie and then handed me a Fig Newton. There were enough Oreos and Chips Ahoy in my life that I knew a cookie when I saw one! Of course fruit or no fruit,...

Grain-Free Paleo Pumpkin Porridge

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Seriously, D.C., what is going on!? It is now the end of March and it feels like WINTER IS COMING! While I find the flakes that fall around Christmas time vaguely nostalgic and even celebrate the occasional snow day, snow at the end of March is about as charming as...

Bacon Chive Waffle Sliders with Pulled Pork, Bacon and Maple Mayonnaise {Paleo and Gluten-Free}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

The former, “Our Lady’s Day” is celebrated nine months before Christmas. I’ll let you do the math. The latter, “waffle day,” historically...

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...
