Zucchini Noodles with Sweet Italian Sausage, Mussels and Cherry Tomatoes

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

This is one of those recipes I looked at and said “yeah right.” It just didn’t seem possible that it could be as good as it looked in the photos. First of all, I have a tumultuous history with spiralizers. As in, the last one I used ended up in...

Paleo Breakfast Lasagna with Sausage, Spinach and Scrambled Eggs

Butternut Squash & Tahini Soup (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

As I write this, the last piece of produce from my CSA sits roasting in the oven. A small sugar pumpkin that I’ve struggled to eat because it’s just so dang cute! Instead, it’s been sitting as a center piece on our dining room table. But tomorrow, it’s becoming part...

30 Days Post Whole30

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

As most of you know, I did a Whole30 during the month of February. While the program certainly has short-term perks (i.e. weight loss), it was the longer term effects that I was more interested in. A few of you have mentioned interest in finding out how the latter played...
