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,...

Fig, Goat Cheese, Proscuitto and Pistachio Stuffed Chicken with Fig Balsamic Gastrique

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Summer is straight up flying by. I kind of hate it. I usually love Fall, but I’m pretty stressed out about this particular Fall. Can’t we just make the Summer last forever? I’ll even stop complaining about big hair, I promise! We’ve been keeping particularly busy, which I’m sure has...

Lemon Chicken with Summer Squash and Goat Cheese

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I’ve had a head cold for well over a week now. First world problem I know, but it’s Summertime and this is getting real old. I finally stayed home from work today, something I never do, but I really must get better before our trip this weekend. Anyways, I’m reminded...

Healthy Asian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

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...

Embracing the CSA Reject: Kohlrabi Apple Slaw

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Fact: if you’ve ever been in a CSA, you’ve surely gotten kohlrabi. Now, if you’re thinking a CSA must be some sort of gang or terrible prison camp and kohlrabi a sexually transmitted disease, fear not: you still may be smarter than a fifth grader. I myself had no idea...
