Paleo Spaghetti Squash Hawaiian Pizza Pie

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

When I saw this I knew I had to make it, given my childhood history with Hawaiian pizza and my current obsession with spaghetti squash. And honestly, it was pretty good, but didn’t excite me the way that little pile of ham and pineapple did as a kid. But then again,...

Spiced Turkey Lasagna with Butternut Squash Noodles (+Beware of Mandolines!)

Adventures of a Wannabe Foodie

I really loved this recipe. What I don’t really love? Mandolines. Those things are straight-up dangerous. Seriously, they need to come with dexterity checks and “you will at some point lose a sizable chunk of your finger” warnings. I posted this picture on Facebook (because I obviously have no...

Black Forest Ham and Béchamel Crepe Torte {Cookbook Club}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I should preface this post with a full disclosure: I said “this is the worst recipe I’ve ever made” no less than 60 times while making this torte. And really, it’s right up there. Not the final product; in that department it was a relative hit. This recipes is just...

A Taste of Mérida and Madrid

And, it’s time for the next installment of “ridiculously delicious things I ate abroad.” Man do I love food. On our way to Madrid, we stopped in Mérida to check out some Roman ruins dating back to the 2nd century B.C. And of course to get a hearty lunch. We decided...

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).
