Heirloom Tomato, Squash and Pepper Gratin

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Wow, I’ve really been off the grid! I’ll blame it on a little bit of travel and a lot of writer’s block. Or maybe the other way around. We got back from an awesome weekend in Atlanta last night, and tomorrow I head to South Dakota. Maybe I’ll just leave...

Layered Greek-Style Chickpea Salad with Pesto Vinaigrette

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I’m superbly cranky today for no particularly good reason. Yesterday, I should have been cranky; it was Monday, I locked myself out of the house, my phone wouldn’t work and I couldn’t leave my desk all day. But I seem to have saved the crank for today. It could be...

Cloning Trader Joe’s Spicy Lentil Wrap with Tahini Sauce

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I’ve never actually had Trader Joe’s spicy lentil wraps, but when I saw this recipe on the Kitchn, I knew I had to try it. And now that I know I can make these babies at home, I may never experience the TJs original. As many of you know by...

Four Day Weekend for the Win! {Plus Cheesy Brussels Sprout Lasagna}

There’s nothing like a three day weekend… except a four day weekend! That’s right: snow day! So right now I’m sitting here in my pajamas under a pile of pit bulls that are not making typing an easy task. Did you know that my very first post on the Messy...

Smokey Vegan Pumpkin Chili with Avocado Skillet Cornbread

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Chili is one of those things that there are thousands of recipes for, but usually just comes out best if you kind of make it up as you go along. The name in and of itself indicates the only real required ingredient: chili peppers, in some shape or form. Chili,...
