Notes from a Messy Kitchen

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...

Oops, it’s Soup! Roasted Red Pepper Tahini Soup with Roasted Tomatoes, Pan Fried Mushrooms and Grilled Chicken

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Sometimes things don’t turn out as planned, but they still turn our really, really, really good. This soup is one of them. It was actually intended to be a spaghetti squash dish with roasted red pepper sauce. Courtney couldn’t resist buying a massive spaghetti squash (seriously, this thing was the size of...

Classic Carrot Cake with Tahini Cream Cheese Frosting {Bakeolution}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Good Friday to you all! This is perhaps the first day in the history of working adulthood that Courtney has a day off that I don’t. Ah, now I know the sting of getting ready for work while your S.O. sits on the couch in their underwear. Life’s not fair....

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...

Tahini & Red Curry Shrimp with Spaghetti Squash

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I’ll take a break in the series of amazing desserts I have to share with you for this important PSA: spaghetti squash is still amazing! Seriously. I think I could sit down with a spaghetti squash and a bottle of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! and happily call it dinner....

Cucumber Noodle Greek Salad with Tahini Glazed Chicken

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I take a great deal of pride in my ability to make something awesome using only the ingredients on hand. People have often told me I should go on “Chopped,” but I’m afraid my cooking style involves too much cussing, cutting and burning myself to be appropriate for national T.V. Regardless,...

Believe it or not, sometimes even I struggle to decide what to do with the ingredients in my fridge. I wrote a whole post on amazing things to do with cauliflower, but this purple cauliflower was so pretty I wanted to use it in a way we’d fully enjoy it’s...

Tahini & Date Milkshake {Vegan}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

This holiday weekend has been about balance. After a fun night out on Friday, Saturday was spent on cleaning and (unfinished) home improvement projects. Yesterday we got up just after 6:00am so I could run my first half marathon of the year. It was slow (1:50:20) and exceedingly painful, but...

Paleo Pumpkin Tahini Sauce with Spaghetti Squash and Tahini Chicken

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I won’t be telling you much about my Superbowl snacks this year. Not that I didn’t make any (buffalo cauliflower bites, buffalo hummus, carnitas tacos). It just seems that I accidentally poisoned Courtney, myself, and all of our guests with said snacks. Or we all got the stomach bug at exactly the...
