Baking Fails and My Week of Pie (Watermelon Cream Pie)

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

In cooking, accidentally adding an extra stick of butter is pretty consistently a delicious mistake. In baking? Well, it turns out that’s not the case. Ridiculous that any hobby should be so precise if you ask me… but let’s take a couple of steps back. Last time we chatted, I talked...

My Saturday involved four parties, three outfit changes and two showers, clearly a sign that the dog days of summer are upon us. The tastiest party of the day was the second annual Bourbon & Pie in July, hosted by our good friends Holly and Jason. I go to an average of...

(Not)Baked-o-lution Raw Vegan Chocolate Banana Cream Pie

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Having skipped Bake-o-lution last month while doing the Whole30, I was excited to bring something to the counter this time around. However, I wasn’t quite ready to launch back into pastry flour and cream cheese icing. Instead, I decided it would be fun to see what my colleagues would think of a raw vegan dessert. While...

Pie Parties, Whole30, Oxymorons and Broken Resolutions {Peanut Butter & Jelly Pie!}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

When I break a resolution, I almost always do it intentionally. I’d never calling it “slipping up,” but rather a well thought out weighing of the pros and cons that leads me to believe there’s a valuable reason not to stick to said resolution. Case in point: “Sober January.” About...

Vegan Bourbon Laced Pumpkin Pie with Walnut Crumble

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

It’s funny that I should decide to make a pumpkin pie this year, because to be honest I never really liked it. I don’t know if it was the texture (gross!), a subconscious aversion because of my pumpkin allergy (which only ever manifested as as a skin and eye reaction,...

Adventures of a Wannabe Foodie

Fall Harvest Cookbook Club and Roasted Hubbard Squash and Caramelized Onion Galette with Fontina Cheese

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

The theme for our Cookbook Club this month was “Fall foods,” which is pretty much the theme of my life right now. No really, as if my “all squash” diet wasn’t enough, I went on a serious pumpkin bender at Trader Joe’s on Saturday. Croutons, mochi, macarons, cider. Can’t. Get....

A Very Special Guest Post: Strawberry Basil Pie

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

A couple of weeks ago, I told you about the Bourbon and Pie party we went to to celebrate our good buddy Jason’s birthday. Well, Jason is the kind of guy that makes not one but two pies for his own birthday party! I loved his strawberry basil pie so much,...

Bourbon & Pie in July

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I was super excited when Holly sent the invitation for Jason’s birthday party. Bourbon and pie? Seriously, how much better does it get? I love me a good mint julep, and I’m always excited about the opportunity to try out a recipe I probably otherwise wouldn’t make (no, pie is...

My First Pie Competition! {Buffalo Chicken Pie with Blue Cheese Crust}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Last night I tasted upwards of 25 pies. Before you get disgusted, let me assure you that it was for a good cause. How can you vote on the best pie in a pie competition if you haven’t tried all the pies?! This is serious business! Our friends Abbey and Phil...
