Is There Such a Thing as Too Simple for a Food Blog? + BBQ Tofu with Cajun Sweet Potatoes and Kale Chips

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

When I was making this dish, I had no intentions of turning it into a blog post. “This isn’t a recipe,” I thought. “This is just me quickly throwing together some ingredients I have on hand to satisfy my craving for a healthy vegan dinner.” It took a good...

Thai Peanut Soup with Grilled Peanut Butter Sandwich Croutons

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

If you ask me, homemade soup most always has a leg up over anything you’ll be served at the counter of Panera, and it certainly beats anything you’ll find in a can. But this soup has the star power to be the highlight of a three course meal. If...

Fighting Lunchtime Temptation: Maple Baked Lentils with Sweet Potato and Brussels Sprouts

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Spicy Kale, Sweet Potato and Chickpea Stew with Beer and Paprika

Beauty in the Eye of the Lasagna

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I made this lasagna because it was pretty. There I said it: I am a shallow cook. But really, the fresh tomatoes, the crispy breaded top, the waves of golden noodles… it is truly a beautiful dish. It actually wasn’t until I took a second look at my grocery list...
